Clare House located in Dunblane, Stirlingshire was the first service in Scotland to exclusively provide support for male and females with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Clare House consists of nine spacious en-suite bedrooms situated across the ground floor and first floor. There is a large homely lounge, dining room and activity room within the main house, which has an adjoining conservatory. There is also a large mature garden with an outside dining area and gazebo.

Four self-contained cottages are also adjacent to the main house where individuals are supported to lead a more independent life whilst still having access to the support team.

The team at Clare House actively encourage the people they support to access activities and hobbies in the local community as independently as possible. This includes attending football and rugby clubs, Tae Kwon Do, horse-riding, drama groups and enjoying community life. The service has its own transport to support this and there are good links to public transport with a train station and bus routes a short walk away.

Developing daily living skills such as cooking and cleaning is a key focus to build confidence and greater independence. The team also support the management of finances and help individuals to seek out local work opportunities. Some individuals living at Clare House also currently volunteer and raise funds for charity.
