From the beginning, I was impressed not only with the professionalism of the staff; but it is supplemented by their patience and caring attitude.
Despite the patient's conditions they are treated with dignity and affection.
The food is appetising and varied and well presented,
I was kept informed
of any medical incidents instantly.
Clara Court is an example to all.

Social services found the home more suitable than my relation's old one. Transfer to new home easy to organise and went well. My relation has settled in and my wife and I are relieved she is now in a good and safe environment.

Clara Court provides my mother with the utmost care and attention. My mother is treated with dignity, respect and understanding of her condition which is severe Alzheimers and dementia. The team observe and listen to my mother's needs as well as our comments and feedback. We have built a trusting relationship
between our family and the team to ensure the very best for my mother. Any questions or concerns we have are dealt with and handled immediately and we cannot fault the professionalism and duty of care from everyone involved. Thank you Clara Court for looking after my mother so well.

When I visited Clara Court the first time back a couple of years I ago, I knew the service provided was different to any other care home. I immediately knew I wanted my Grandma to stay there. Having Dementia is an awful illness and is difficult to leave your loved ones in care but I was reassured after
visiting Clara Court and seeing the other residents well settled and looking happy. Since my Grandma has been there, she appears settled and happier in herself which gives us as the family a peace of mind and reassurance she's well cared for. She's always clean, well groomed and enjoys the meals, and is constantly participating in activities that Clara Court provide for their residents. I would like to say thank you to all the staff and the effort they took to decorate the home this Christmas, just looked amazing and really made Christmas special for not just my Grandma as a resident but also us visiting as guests too.

My nan has been living in Clara Court for about two years. Every time I visit her she always looks clean and happy. The home always smells good. Staff appear happy they greet with a smile and nothing is ever too trouble. Management is always available and I always find them on the floor supporting which
is a great thing to see. Food is good and choices are offered.

As a friend of a resident at Clara Court I have been visiting for four years now and every single visit has made me so grateful that my friend is in the hands of the most professional and genuinely caring staff. The facilities allow residents to enjoy activities and interaction with others promoting
a very friendly and almost family-like environment and I know although my friend has lost capacity to know who we are now, he remains happy cared for and loved by all the staff.


Clara Court is immaculately clean, the food and facilities are first class, I would highly recommend this care home to anyone having the unfortunate task of procuring the right environment for their loved one, whether for a short term or long term stay.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Clara Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.827 for Clara Court is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.827

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clara Court is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Gladys Chironga

Job Title: Home Manager

I’ve been at Clara Court since 2009, when I joined the team as a care assistant. I joined because Care UK has a clear vision for older people’s care which I believe in. I’m also passionate about providing high quality care and I want to make a difference to the lives of the people we care for.


Another rewarding part of my role is empowering colleagues to ensure that residents live their lives in the way they want. I enjoy engaging and motivating colleagues and seeing them develop and succeed.


Each day is different in this role. I enjoy having the chance to continue learning and developing my skills, and I love spending time with residents, supporting them to continue to live happy and fulfilling lives.
