Carefully aligned with the existing statue of Mary, Clare House’s main entry leads into the chapel and parlor. Both the main level and upper floor have 38 bedrooms with private toilets grouped into two households, each of which has a centrally located kitchenette, dining, living, and activity area.
One-third of the rooms have views into a secure, landscaped courtyard with a walking path while the remainder look out over Dubuque and the surrounding hills. The lower level of Clare House contains a large kitchen, dining room, multi-purpose room, offices, and services areas. The design provides the flexibility to reserve separate households for different levels of care, including memory care.
