About Clarence House
Residential care at Clarence House combines round-the-clock personal support with dementia care for older people who can no longer manage safely at home. Individual care and support plans are created after an assessment, with help focused on essential daily routines such as washing, dressing and meals.
Residents can access short or long stays, respite care, freshly prepared meals tailored to dietary needs and activities including music therapy, gardening and reminiscence sessions. Food is freshly prepared on the premises by the home’s cooks, while visitors are welcome at any time. The home also supports people living with mild or moderate dementia through regular staff training.
