About St Clare House

St Clare House is a residential care home in Hull. We care for older people, including many residents living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with a physical disability, and we also offer respite stays. As a residential setting our work is daily life supported well, with community health professionals involved when someone needs them. The quality of a care home shows in ordinary moments rather than in what is written about it. Whether a person is helped to get up at the hour they would choose. Whether the food is worth looking forward to. Whether the person helping you wash knows your name and something of your history. Whether anyone notices when you are out of sorts. For residents living with dementia we keep staffing steady and the day predictable, and we ask families for the details of a life that no assessment captures. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather put that plainly here than have someone come across it later. There is an agreed plan covering the areas identified and we are working through it, and we would encourage anyone considering the home to ask us exactly what has changed and to come and look.
