Care Services Provided

Respite Care

We offer breaks for carers in the community offering safe personal space for people where safeguards are in place for a set period of time. Respite stays could also be used for trial periods for people to understand and be reassured it is the right environment for them to move into for medium or long term accommodation.

Mental Health

It is normal for everyone to feel worried or experience difficult emotions at times. For most people this is temporary and resolved naturally with out long term negative impacts upon daily living. We are here for YOU to aspire to your goals.

Supported Living Services

With outcomes based around independence Claro's experienced team ensures that clients can achieve the goals they aim for. For some clients this will be to move to houses the organisation has in the community funded by Community Care and Support. For some clients the support they receive in our care home gives a safe environment for people to explore different goals they may not have previously considered. 

Complex Needs

Providing care and treatment programmes for people with multiple needs such as dual diagnosis of learning and / or physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, challenging behaviour, Korsakoffs dementia and a variety of other complex conditions.
