My mother came into Clara Court in the middle of March and has settled in very well. As her daughters, who have cared for her for nearly 8 years at home, my sisters and I cannot praise the staff - every one of them - too highly. Their care and love (you can feel the love when you walk through the door),
the cleanliness, food, and rooms including ensuites, are immaculate. My mother is very happy, praises the staff continually, says that she feels safe there as someone is always there to help her - (she has short term memory loss). So thank you Clara Court.

They have been very caring and thoughtful throughout the whole time my step dad has been in the home. The longevity of the staff is a credit to the home and demonstrates the comfortable, relaxed and competent atmosphere the home has. Everyone knew me by name and were always very welcoming every time
I visited no matter what time day or night. Clara Court is a truly fantastic care home and I give them a huge credit for their care and would recommend them to anyone.

My stay here was very beautiful. Everything was fine here. The staff and the food were excellent. I have been here 9 months now, so I think its time to go home. Obviously, my priorities have changed so I have to prepare and live a better life. Thanks for all your care.

Inspirational! From the moment we arrived with my Mum, we were all made to feel extremely welcome. As you walk into reception you feel a real energy and buzz about the place. Manager and staff could not have done more. The way mum has been cared for has been with dignity and warmth.
Her room is always
kept very clean and tidy, a real "home from home".
Her daily routine includes various activities which she is really enjoying.
When visiting, we note that mum is always dressed smartly and in a new set of clothes each day.
The lounge area is nice and lively with music on all day.
Carers are always on hand.
The meals are very appetising and nutritional. Also, sandwiches are available to mum if there is a meal she might not like.
As a family, we had to take a huge emotional step in mum going to a Care Home, but without doubt, we have, in Clara Court, found a real jewel. So a big thanks to all the team there who are making such wonderful efforts in ensuring that our mum is in such safe and caring hands.

I am very happy with the care my mother is receiving at Clara Court. Staff have been very understanding and patient in coping with my mother's resistance to accepting help with personal care and managing her more challenging behaviour. She is responding well to being in a safe environment and has started
to take part in the activities on offer. Thank you.

The staff at Clara Court are so helpful and warm. They always keep me informed and advise me of anything my mother might need. My eldest daughter who is 19 years old, was so impressed by the loving care and service that she decided to train at University in "Adult Nursing" - She loves it!
Thank you
for your outstanding care and friendship.

I have had a nice change coming here for a break. The staff have been very good to my visitors with tea being served in china cups. Staff have been tolerant to my daughter and visitors which is very good. My room was very clean, food very good and lots of variety. Staff very welcoming, friendly, kind
and pleasant.

From the day my mother-in-law became a resident the care and kindness has always been second to none. The love and kindness shown to her and the respect for her by all the dedicated staff is unquestionable. From the personal appearance to the clean, fresh, bright environment in which the residents live
speaks volumes for their care. When thanked for their care the staff are very modest but it is care that they do so very well.

My wife and I feel very lucky that we found Clara Court for the care of mum now she no longer has the ability to live independently. The buildings and furnishings are modern, bright and well kept. The residents live in a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. There are always care staff on hand to
ensure mum feels safe and to help with her daily needs and they make a point of speaking to us when we visit to let us know how mum has been and discuss her ongoing care. There are plenty of activities available and residents are encouraged to participate but there is no pressure to do so. We are always able to discuss with the staff any concerns we have, so we never leave feeling mum isn't being looked after. I would definitely recommend Clara Court.

I am happy with the care my uncle is getting from Clare Court. He has improved significantly through social stimulation. The home is very welcoming no restrictions to visiting any time you want. All residents appear to be happy, staff are wonderful, helpful and kind. It's hard to find a good care home
but Clara Court ticks all the boxes for us a family. The care and treatment is outstanding.

Since my mother-in-law arrived at Clara Court she has been quite settled more so than I expected. She eats well, the food is extremely good (she is very finicky). The staff are excellent, her dementia causes her to be bad tempered and they are so tolerant of her outbursts when she has them. Cleanliness
is superior and altogether Clara Court is an excellent home for my mother-in-law and all who are fortunate enough to be offered a place.

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.
