Our read on Terraces At The Clare

Terraces At The Clare runs about 4.96 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 28% above the national average, and that's the main reason it holds up well. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. Ten deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, but two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was recent, in May 2025, and the home is individually owned for profit.
