About Avalon Clarence Gardens

Located on Lawefield Lane in Wakefield, this is a small residential care home with four beds. It provides care for older people, younger adults, and individuals with learning disabilities or physical disabilities. The home is operated by Avalon Group (Social Care) and offers personalised support within an intimate setting due to its limited capacity.

The home was last inspected by the Care Quality Commission in February 2020, when it received a rating of Requires Improvement. This means the service did not fully meet all regulatory standards at that time, and prospective residents or their families may wish to enquire about improvements made since the inspection.

Being based in Wakefield, the home is accessible to local NHS services and community facilities. Its small size means residents may benefit from closer relationships with staff and other residents, though capacity is naturally restricted.
