It was a very upsetting time having to put my partner in a nursing home. But Clara Court has made the whole thing so much easier. It is the most wonderful place and my partner has never had an upset day in the years he's been here. Staff are all fantastic, I am delighted that my partner has been so
happy. My mind is at peace. Excellent place.

This is the best nursing home I have ever visited, staff are absolutely wonderful. If I ever need to be put into a nursing home, when I get older, this is certainly the nursery home for me. Can't fault it, it's all wonderful.

The staff are very helpful and my Mother-in-Law is happy with the food and most importantly, the assistance and help she receives from the staff. Her room is always very clean and nothing seems to be too much bother to them. Most importantly, they are all very friendly and helpful.

My husband has Alzheimer's and takes no part in social life, but he recognises all the staff, says he loves the manager. He is very well cared for with humour and dedication and is encouraged to express himself. He is always treated with dignity and understanding. The home is clean, bright and welcoming.

After visiting Clara Court it leaves me with a feeling my Aunt is well looked after. My Aunt is treated with dignity and her life is fulfilled. The atmosphere of the home is very welcoming and staff are very happy and obliging. It always looks and smells clean and inviting. We are always offered beverages
when we visit.

I am very pleased with the home and its staff. All had smiles on their faces and were polite nad professional. The home was far removed from my vision of a care home. It was modern, clean and bright. My wife was a lot brighter when I picked her up and she was full of praise for the staff. If my wife
has to go for respite in the future I hope she goes into this home. Thanks.

My late wife has been a resident at Clara Court for the past 5 years. She was a proud lady who didn't accept help from anyone (including me) easily. The care and consideration of staff has always been excellent. Before she became a resident, she was having twice daily visits by carers and rarely getting
out of bed. The activities and community spirit, film evenings and visiting entertainers have been a life saver. My own relationship with staff has been excellent and they have always responded to my requests. The manager and staff are doing a fantastic job and I thank them sincerely.

It was the beautiful day at the seaside. It brought back good memories family holiday. I had an amazing day. Staff were marvellous, I am so lucky to be living here. I used to look forward to my holidays and I am happy that I am still to go whilst living in a care home.

My mother has been in Clara Court for nearly 3 weeks due to respite care whilst my sister (who is her carer) has been away on holiday. My mother says how lovely the staff are and very helpful. I would like to add that I am extremely impressed with all the people that work in the care home. Their warmth
and friendliness shines through. The home is immaculate and has a very nice feel about it.

My family attended a 90th birthday party for my father in law. We were all absolutely amazed by the length all of the staff, especially the manager, went to to ensure that everyone there had a really memorable afternoon. Clara Court is the most caring and happy residential home I have ever visited a
real credit to your profession.

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.
