After a quite traumatic time for myself and my brothers and having to take the tough decision that Mum needed help, we found Clarence House. When the Senior house care assistant first showed me round it was quite simply a breath of fresh air after the round of hospitals and other care homes we...
My only regret is that Mum was here for a relatively short time, we did think she would be at Clarence House for a few years, but it wasn't to be. But in that time everyone treated us with care and friendship and we were so impressed with the care and compassion given to all the residents living there. If only all care homes could be like Clarence House!
