Ratings &
accreditations

My husband who suffers from vascular dementia and has other problems originally came for respite breaks, but is now a permanent resident. He is not the easiest person to have to deal with and wants to do everything in his own sweet time, which is challenging for meal times, arranged activities and medical appointments etc! The staff have a wonderful manner and genuine care for him and indeed all the residents. The home and rooms are kept spotlessly clean with a very efficient laundry collection. Catering is of a good standard and residents are able to make their daily meal choices. There is a varied programme of morning and afternoon activities, as well as interesting trips out in the minibus. Thoroughly recommended – well done team Clarendon!
