My uncle has been well looked after since his arrival. He is fed and watered throughout the day and receives his medication as required.
The music piped through into the communal lounge has been a real plus ensuring that he has a reason to get out of his room. The outside terraces have yet to be explored but will be a welcome beautiful in the summer months.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear your uncle is enjoying staying with us and that you are happy with our facilities, lifestyle, and the care we provide. We look forward to continuing to provide a high standard of care and ensuring your uncle makes the most of his time with us, including the beautiful outdoor spaces during the warm seasons.
Clarendon House is an excellent care home. The home has been beautifully designed and furnished, but still feels like ‘a home’. From the moment we entered, we were made to feel welcome. The whole team, from office staff to carers are polite, friendly and caring and ready to respond to any questions...

From the very start, the staff at Clarendon House have been exceptional. They explained the process clearly and gave a full tour on our first visit. Dad now visits the home twice a week for day care. The staff clearly, always put Dad's health and safety above all else and his comfort. The support network I have (as Dad's main carer) and Dad has, enables us both to have respite safely and comfortably, without worry, which is paramount. Dad and I are always made to feel welcome!

My mother has been a resident at Clarendon House Care Home for nearly eight months. The staff welcomed her with such kindness and understanding and always make any visitors, be they family or friends, very welcome. Clarendon House is always so well-presented and the care to detail in the lounges makes it feel so homely. I love the fact my mother is so happy and settled there and thank the staff for helping so kindly with her transition from her own home to her new home here.
We are so overwhelmed to know Mum and your family continue to be pleased with our facilities and the care we provide. Thank you for taking the time to write your valuable feedback. It means a lot to everyone at Clarendon.

The level of care, the regular activities, the food, coffee, and decor. Everything is as good as you would want for your loved one. Being able to visit anytime, always welcomed, cakes and coffee every time we visited, and so many places to have a quiet chat without feeling you have to go to my mum's bedroom.
10/10 to everyone, including the other residents, who are all wonderful too.
Dear Andrew, What an overwhelming review! We appreciate your kindness and the time you have taken to write your valuable feedback. It is truly a privilege to be able to look after our residents and also to know that our lovely relatives feel confident and happy with the service we deliver.
My mum came to the care home very shy and full of woe, in the two weeks of her stay here, wow what a difference. Mum has settled so well and her overall condition is back to her old self. This home has made her and us part of their family. As a son of a resident here, thank you for getting my mum...

Absolutely wonderful! During our search for a suitable residence for my mum, we viewed other care homes and became totally disheartened until we walked through the doors of Clarendon House and were amazed by the ‘wow’ factor, like a luxury hotel. The accommodation and facilities are second to none, the staff are like family and I can’t rate them highly enough, nothing is too much trouble. The atmosphere is friendly and there is always lots of laughter. Mum has made friends and settled quickly and can’t wait to show her visitors around as everyone is always so impressed by the surroundings. More than anything she is happy and I take great comfort in knowing that she is being so well looked after.
Dear Julia, we are pleased to hear we impressed you on your initial tour. It is an absolute pleasure looking after your mum and knowing that she is happy living at Clarendon House. Thank you for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback. We really appreciate it.
