Clare House Care Home

The care and consideration at Clare House Care Home is fabulous. My father-in-law is totally cared for and very happy with all of his carers and nurses and staff. We have total confidence in their care of him. Highly efficient and very caring, a great establishment.

My father moved into Clare House Care Home a few weeks ago and in a short space of time, he has settled in and is really happy which shows in his improved health and well-being overall. Clare House has provided him with a loving, caring, supportive, friendly, respectful and attentive environment for my 90-year-old, disabled father who needs specialised care, is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s amongst fair few other ailments and health issues. Staff and carers have been excellent, thoroughly professional, caring, considerate, friendly and very welcoming at all times to him and when we visit. I highly recommend Clare House with its exceptional and outstanding care. Our special thanks to the manager who we highly commend on the excellent running of this lovely care home. Thank you very much Clare House for everything you have all done for our dear beloved father in making it so lovely and welcoming for him and in assisting the family in feeling content knowing that he’s in the right place.

Clare House Care Home have provided a lovely, caring, happy home for my mum who has late-stage Alzheimer's. The staff are great, really good-humoured, very professional, very welcoming when I visit, and so dedicated to the residents. From my viewpoint, they have handled the incredibly difficult challenge of Covid really well.

Staff and management are excellent. I have had a lot of contact with one member of staff and she is so helpful and reliable, can't praise her enough. Gold Star. I cannot fault any of the management or the staff. Always professional, helpful, and caring.

The manager/this home deserves our thanks and congratulations on the way in which this place is run.

My auntie, after losing so much weight and unable to care for herself, turned herself around along with the fantastic help of the staff of this caring and attentive home. She was happy and enjoyed the company of all the staff, and never felt alone. She couldn't have been happier.

They are very supportive. I thank them all for so much.

My Mother has been a resident at Clare House Care Home since February 2020. Before the pandemic, I was visiting my Mother every day usually after lunch and stayed for 2-3hours. I was always made to feel very welcome, with a tea or coffee and some homemade cake brought to me as well. I got to know many of the staff there and found them very friendly and helpful. I sometimes stayed while Mum was being fed so experienced at first hand how she is being encouraged to eat. I should point out my mother has Alzheimer's so eating sometimes is a bit of a struggle for her. It is done with patience and a kind manner which is very reassuring. In fact, reassuring is a word that covers most bases at Clare House, the administration of medication etc is carried out with high professionalism, bathing, changing etc is done on a regular basis and entertainment in the large lounge keeps many of residents happy with musical afternoons, quiz games, murder mystery evenings, invited singers and musicians.

A very pleasant care home that does indeed have a certain feeling of homeliness. Very friendly and helpful staff, who provide an 'upbeat' feeling.

My mother became a resident of Clare House over 4 years ago and during that time she has been extremely well cared for. As someone who is bed-bound and unable to communicate, the staff have been very vigilant in attending to both her personal and nursing needs. Despite being unable to communicate verbally, it is clear my mother trusts the staff and can sense they are caring individuals. Personal care is excellent - I have always found her to be clean and comfortable, and the nursing staff ensures they act promptly to respond to any nursing issues and are proactive in contacting her GP/outside agencies as soon as they identify a need. The home has a most welcoming atmosphere with a 'calm, happy' feel to it. The staff are always very approachable and do seem to work together very much as a team. As a very regular visitor to the home, I have witnessed how smoothly run the home is and how well cared for the residents are. My mother is on a puree diet and the food is GREAT!

I found Clare House to be a very warm and friendly care/nursing home. It was clean and comfortable without being clinical. I was impressed with the gardens and thought they were very well maintained. A well-stocked library, comfortable sitting and dining room. You were able to eat with your relative if you wanted (just had to let them know). The chef/cooks went through with residents what their dietary needs were, menus with choices were discussed with residents ( alternatives were found if nothing was favoured). Personal care was of a high standard. All rooms had ensuite toilets and hand basins.

I can not praise highly enough the commitment and compassion of the staff at Clare House during my Aunts stay there. At all times we were treated with the utmost kindness and respect during our visits and always kept abreast of any developments regarding her physical and mental health. It was a great comfort to the family to know that my Aunt was being so well cared for. Everyone at Clare House should be proud of what they have been able to achieve in the care and welfare of their residents, particularly in these current difficult times.

Fab staff, nothing oto much trouble. Food always looks tempting. Visitors looked after too!

Staff are also supportive of the family. We are regularly updated on her medical and social care and they know when to check if we're OK too. This certainly helps us cope with a very emotional and distressing time. 5 star all round!

My mum is currently receiving end of life care at the home. This is clearly a very upsetting time for all our family but the home has been great. The staff are friendly, supportive and very understanding. I cannot fault them.

The friendly staff at Clare House provided excellent palliative care for my father in his last days and their attentiveness meant the family could be at his side when he passed. Clare House management also accommodated my father's and mother's wish that they were together in the home, real evidence of a holistic and caring approach. A big thank you to all management and staff at this brilliant care home.

Staff were brilliant with mum. The cleanliness was very good. Mum was at Clare house for nine months and she was happy there. At the end of her life, the staff treated the family with great respect and looked after our needs as well as hers, making sure she was comfortable until the end.

Very welcoming at the reception area. Security was very good. Lunch was very nice and good choice.

I cannot thank the staff enough for easing her final days.

Clare House is a well run, extremely friendly home, where the staff genuinely care for the residents and visitors. The carers are kind and conscientious and everyone is helpful and smiling. The kitchen staff produce excellent meals, all cooked on the premises, and no request is too much trouble. The ladies in charge of 'entertainment' do a wonderful job of finding a different activity each day. The lovely grounds are well cared for and residents and families enjoy visiting the fish pond. The outstanding care means that families are confident that their loved ones are in good hands.
