Services
Debbie has strong person centred philosophy and ensures her team strikes a balance between providing support when it's needed and helping residents to maintain independence. She promotes a full and active lifestyle wherever possible and ensures a warm, friendly atmosphere where residents can live with dignity and privacy in a safe, caring environment.
At Clarence House we believe that food and nutrition are two of the most important factors in the well being of our residents. For a start good food is important for everyone's enjoyment of life and particularly so for the elderly and the frail. Good nutrition is vital for sustenance and recovery. All of our food is freshly prepared on the premises by our own team of qualified cooks.
All of our residents at Clarence House are individually assessed to determine their needs so that we personalise our care services to meet those needs, whilst maximising the potential to live a normal life. All of our care staff have undertaken dementia and elderly mental health training and know how to deal with the additional needs caused by dementia and give the best possible care.
We believe strongly in the importance of keeping minds and bodies as active as possible to assist a person's welfare and therefore provide a full range of stimulating activities and entertainment. We have dedicated activities coordinators who spend time with each resident individually to understand their interests and capabilities.

I cannot praise Clarence House highly enough. The utmost care and consideration is given to my mum and we are pleased and reassured.
The staff are friendly fun and efficient, and the management are kind and very well organised many activities take place from day to day and mum is never bored. I feel that she is loved appreciated and cared for as the individual that she still is. She loves the outings and the environment. The gardens are beautiful and made with residents comfort and stimulation in mind. It's such a difficult decision to make but the staff have made it so much easier.

My mum has been resident for 3 years. It is clean, no smells and well furnished. The staff are exemplary and they retain the same staff which is rare these days. Mum was in another home for 3 months...it was awful and we returned her immediately to this well run with gebuine caring staff.
If only all homes were anything like this one.
