About Clover Cottage

Clover Cottage is a residential care home in Romford. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are part of what we do. We are deliberately a small home. That buys genuine familiarity rather than the appearance of it, and it means a quiet morning gets noticed. For residents living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the surroundings unchanged, and we ask relatives early for the history, because it is much harder to gather later and it is what makes somebody's remarks comprehensible. If somebody's sight, hearing or understanding changes what works, we establish a way that suits them and every member of staff uses it. Half measures here undermine the rest. People keep control of their own money and belongings as far as they are able, and where they need help with that we are transparent about it. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Families are welcome to arrive unannounced and see us on an ordinary day, and relatives who visit often notice what we have stopped seeing.
