Clare Park’s scale of charges reflects our not for profit, charitable status. This means that we are able to offer superior value for money and to keep our prices competitive.

Our monthly fees are fully inclusive of all accommodation, domestic services, meals as appropriate, heat, light, Council Tax, maintenance, transport and other facilities and support services. They also include care staff on call 24 hours a day. This means that you are able to plan your monthly expenditure well in advance with full confidence.

A loan or gift

To secure your home at Clare Park, residents make a loan or gift to the charity. The income generated from these funds helps support the wide range of facilities, services and community amenities available to residents.

If you choose the loan option, the full amount is returned to you or your estate at the end of your tenure. We offer a range of financial arrangements and would be pleased to explain the options available.

Fees are reviewed annually to ensure our competitiveness. Every effort is made to limit increases to offer value for money, as well as keep our fees attractive to potential residents.
