St Clare's Care Home

We also feel that mother-in-law responds well to the warmth of the staff and the pleasant, light-filled spaces. The best compliment I can give is that I would highly recommend this home to anyone!

Our overall impression is that St Clare's goes all-out to provide the best possible care for all the residents and their families. There is an open, and welcoming, atmosphere, and our overwhelming impression is that the home is very well run. Our relative is very pleased with the staff's care, support and respect, and we have complete confidence for her well-being. The care home is part of a newish estate, built in attractive parkland, which includes retirement homes and a farm.

My wife who has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease has been resident at St Clare's for 5 months. I have been very impressed with the dedication of her carers who are invariably polite and warm hearted. Unfortunately, my wife's speech is very limited and that has severely reduced the contact she is able to have with other residents. Moreover, the level of their spoken English has sometimes limited the contact she is able to make with care staff. I have always been warmly welcomed as a visitor and staff are unfailingly helpful in meeting my needs. Two minor criticisms 1) I am rarely able to get a report of how my wife has been since my last visit (key worker scheme) 2) Performers not able to draw residents with participation.

The home treats my husband with dignity. They cope with his mental state well and ensure that the family are kept aware of any problems. My husband was in a very poor state mentally when he moved to St Claire's Care Home. The staff show endless patience. They also cope with his complex physical needs. The rooms are always clean, the food is good and medication given under supervised conditions. He is asked if he wants to join in activities but respected when he prefers to sit quietly. The family feel blessed that St Claire's are able to look after him.

Well done St Clare's!

I highly recommend St Clares.

There need to be more activities as my mother spends too much time on her own in her room.

Standards of ambience, cleanliness and catering are extremely high.

A beautiful home for my mother which is staffed with wonderful, caring people.

St Clare's is like a home away from home in a safe environment and breathtaking surroundings which is wheelchair friendly. The residents are treated with great dignity. Visiting my family is always a happy time.

First class.

Mum has been resident at St Clare’s Care Home since December 2014. She is happy, contented and consistently well cared for by lovely, kind, compassionate staff and excellent management. Her care has been well adapted to her increasing needs, both in terms of her confusion and as she went from being very active to wheelchair bound following a stroke. The atmosphere is light, airy and sweet smelling, with plenty of sitting areas to choose from and St George’s Park is delightful. Even in the wheelchair, she occasionally takes a trip in the minibus. As her faith is important to her, the nuns visit often and bring her Communion. Each time I visit I am humbled by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff and very grateful to have found this wonderful community at St Clare’s for Mum. I recommend them highly.

St Clare's looked after my Mum for 3.5 years from March 2013. She passed away a few weeks ago, but in that 3.5 years they looked after Mum brilliantly and managed her many problems from Parkinsons to Dementia with much kindness and love which made it so much easier for the rest of the family. I can't recommend them highly enough.

My sister-in-law has been a resident of St Clare's Care Home for 16 years. During this time the care has been wonderful. She is happy and safe thanks to the expert nursing care and understanding of her condition.

Excellent level of care and attendance towards my mam. A clean and healthy environment. Activities are always fun to join in with.
