A home in Portsmouth
A home, not a facility. Run at domestic scale for nearly thirty years.
Clarendon Care Home is a small residential care home in Portsmouth — a comfortable, homely environment for up to twenty older adults. Small by design: staff know each resident's preferences, families always speak to someone who knows their relative, and the day's rhythm flexes around the people who live here.
The home has welcomed residents from Portsmouth and the surrounding South Coast for nearly thirty years. It is run by Clarendon Care Limited and registered with the Care Quality Commission. A walled courtyard garden sits at the centre of the home — easy to reach, planted for year-round interest, and a favourite with residents and visiting grandchildren alike.
How the home is used
Long stays, short stays, and the quiet work of being a home.
We've kept the offer simple for nearly thirty years — residential care for older adults, short respite stays, and a settled domestic life shaped around the twenty people who live here.
Short-stay respite
A proper break for family carers — and a warm welcome for your relative from the first afternoon.
A
A settled home for later life
Twenty residents, a courtyard garden, and a daily rhythm built around the people who live here.
Rooms & the garden
Corners to settle into — and a courtyard to sit out in.
Bedrooms at The Clarendon are domestic in scale and set up to be made personal from the first day: own chair, photographs, the small things that tell you you're home. The walled courtyard garden is the heart of the place.
- Single bedrooms that easily become personal
- Home-cooked meals, served at tables that seat small groups
- A walled courtyard garden planted for year-round interest
- Assisted-bathing and mobility-friendly fittings
For families
“Choosing a care home is a big decision. We'd rather you take your time to get it right.”
Come and walk round the home. Meet whoever is on shift. Sit in the courtyard garden for ten minutes. Ask the awkward questions — we'd rather answer them honestly over tea than leave you guessing.
Talk to the home directly
A ten-minute call, an afternoon walk-round, a proper cup of tea.
You can reach us at the home during normal hours. Visitors are welcome without an appointment, though a quick call first means we can match the time of day to whoever you'd most like to meet — the manager, a senior carer, or someone on the catering team.
Where we are
Quietly set in Portsmouth.
Clarendon Care Home sits on a Victorian residential street in Portsmouth — mature brick-walled gardens, tree-lined pavements, and the same rhythms the home has kept for nearly thirty years. Handy for the South Coast, and well-served by the buses residents' families most often travel on.
