St. Clare Home

Review

St. Clare in Newport has earned widespread praise from families for its exceptional care and comprehensive services. The facility is particularly noted for its outstanding adult day care program, which focuses on residents’ comfort, well-being, and engagement. Meals are frequently highlighted as “five-star quality,” with attention to individual dietary needs. The staff includes full-time certified registered nurses (RNs) and certified nursing assistants (CNAs), supported by an arts and crafts coordinator to ensure residents remain active and socially engaged. Families consistently report positive experiences with St. Clare. One reviewer shared that their mother initially entered the facility for rehabilitation but later became a permanent resident due to declining health from COPD. Despite her condition, she received attentive, compassionate care and developed strong bonds with the staff. This family emphasized that St. Clare far exceeded their expectations in both quality and personal attention. Another family highlighted the Assisted Living Memory Care Unit, where their mother spent three years before passing away. They noted that the unit was thoughtfully designed to create a calm, supportive environment for residents with memory-related challenges. Staff provided exceptional care not only to the resident but also emotional support to the family during her final days. St. Clare’s small, intimate dementia unit also receives high marks. Families appreciate the specialized care tailored to meet the unique needs of residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, praising both the staff’s dedication and the unit’s nurturing environment. Administrative staff are described as responsive, attentive, and compassionate, ensuring families feel supported and informed throughout their loved ones’ stay.
