Meet The Manager
Claire Keen is Home Manager at Dukes Court Care Home.
Are you looking for luxury dementia care or assisted living in Wellingborough? Dukes Court Wellingborough offers a welcoming and inclusive community that celebrates the lives of its residents every day. Discover our comfortable companion suites, perfect for those looking to share their care journey with a loved one, be it a partner, sibling, or friend. Meet the Home Manager, have a cup of tea, and we’ll be happy to talk you through the different facilities in the home and discuss your specific care needs.
Dukes Court Care Home in Wellingborough is one of Northamptonshire’s most popular care homes, offering residential and dementia care and an excellent and well thought-out standard of retirement living. It’s one of our newest homes, opened in 2015, so you can be sure it is purpose built to the highest specifications – the very finest of Wellingborough care homes.
We’re situated on the outskirts of town on the Northampton Road and within easy reach of local shops and buses into the town centre. Residents are free to come and go as they please and get involved with the life of the home as much or as little as they want, although there aren’t many that just spend their time sitting around! We like our residents to lead companionable and fulfilled lives, and much of our time is spent sharing memories and enjoying the company of others.
Each of our residents brings something unique to home life, and we make a point of getting to know their personal interests and hobbies, and encourage them to find new ones as well. Home life is richer for it. We appreciate that settling in is sometimes a challenge and we work hard to ensure that everyone feels at home as quickly as possible.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
You’ll find some of our company down at the pub watching football from time to time, and why not? And some us out on shopping trips or being ladies who lunch, and why not? But there’s always something going on in the home as well. We like to cater for body and soul! For instance:
We welcome the community to us, but we also look outwards as well and put on fundraising activities for local charities. Family members are encouraged to join in with these efforts, if not in reality then virtually through our Facebook pages which we update regularly. We also have residents’ and family committees that help us steer home life. Tending the garden is a popular activity. Social media is a good connector and is of special benefit when dealing with those who have dementia. We have realised that the more the communication, the better it is for all concerned. |
