Providing well-regarded care to the local residents of Caister-on-sea, Norfolk, Claremont House is a purpose-built building that offers spacious rooms, engaging activities and high-quality care, located close to village shops and the Norfolk coast.

Claremont House provides specialist nursing and elderly care for the local residents of Caister-on-sea, Norfolk. Run by a warm, welcoming and enthusiastic team, Claremont House offers high quality care that maintains an excellent reputation within the local community.

In addition, it incorporates a welcoming reception area, dining room, two lounges, one of which has an early 1950s feel, a themed hairdressing salon and an attractive sensory garden, on the patio, all of which residents and their guests can enjoy. Although rooms are fully furnished, they encourage residents to bring with them items of furniture and personal effects to complement those already provided so that their room can become an individual retreat.

Claremont Lodge, like Claremont House, is situated on the High Street of Caister-on-Sea conveniently near to a range of shops and amenities. To ensure, where possible, that residents have an active social life, regular trips takes are organised to the local shops, theatre, etc., allowing everyone to benefit from the fresh sea air of the nearby coastline. If you simply wish for peace and tranquillity, well maintained gardens and courtyards surround the home, allowing you to enjoy a haven from the bustle of the town.

Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills in dementia care but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. They are on hand around the clock to provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.

My experience from June 23rd 2022 has been positive. The carers have been personable and sensitive to my mother's needs. The management has been well-informed of my mother's condition and needs. The nursing staff (24-hours) have been aware and updated of my mother's condition and requirements thereof.

Wow! The home looked amazing as I walked in. Lots of laughter, was spotlessly clean. My aunt said she was happy and looking forward to the jubilee party. Clearly under new management. The care team appeared to be enjoying their roles and the lunch smelt and looked delicious. I have not been here for
a while but I really enjoyed my visit today! Thank you Claremont Nursing Home!

My mother-in-law was admitted to Claremont Nursing Home for end of life care. The staff were brilliant with her and very accommodating for us to visit her. She had all of her needs met some of which could be quite complex. The staff went above and beyond to make sure she was happy in her short stay
with them. She had a comfy, quiet, private room which she requested but could always call on the carers for her needs whenever she needed them, day or night. As a family, we were very happy that we chose Claremont. The staff were considerate to my mum-in-law's needs and ours, caring, understanding and extremely kind and lovely when it was time to say goodbye. We can't thank them enough for all they did. Would certainly recommend this care home to others.

My husband stayed there for a few days while I had a well-earned break. The staff were lovely. They were friendly and professional and my husband very much enjoyed his break. He was treated with dignity and respect. He said that he would be more than happy to stay again which puts my mind at rest that
he is in safe hands and is being very well looked after. We were greeted at reception and everyone complied with Covid restrictions as far as I could tell during a very difficult time.

As soon as I opened the door to Claremont Nursing Home, I hear laughter. The staff are truly lovely, very bubbly, I’ve never met such a professional team, nothing is too much trouble, Mum is very comfortable and the team are always popping in to see Mum, chatting with Mum and making endless cups of
tea!
Mum has asked for her room to be decorated pink, with pink curtains and lampshade, and it’s happening, I saw the pink tin of paint today. I’m humbled by their kind gesture towards my mum, it’s above and beyond the call of duty, I know Mum will be thrilled.
I’m involved with Mum's care, communication is very good, I’m always kept in the loop, for that, I’m very grateful.
I would absolutely recommend this amazing nursing home to everyone.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Care Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

My friend has been living at Claremont Lodge for many years now. Sadly because of the pandemic, I have been unable to visit but when I phone to check on her welfare they always have time to chat and reassure me that she is ok. Even though they must at times be very busy.

Reply from Martin Kirkup, Director of Marketing at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. The manager and her team at Claremont will always take the time to update friends and relatives of residents to give them the reassurance we know they seek. We appreciate that it is difficult for everyone at the moment, and it means so much to our residents when the people they are closest to keep in close contact. We look forward to being able to see you more as the restrictions on visiting start to relax a little.

My mum was able to have the opportunity to live in this fantastic establishment, my mum had been in a previous home that wasn't very nice and made her ill, and we felt she wasn't safe, so when we found the Claremont and with all the community that agreed it was a lovely home we went to the manager of
Claremont and she did her very best for my mum to able for her to come and live with them!. The manager and staff at the Claremont have made us feel mum is safe and through all the hard times of Covid they have reassured us of mum's safety we have had constant updates and been able to talk with mum on Skype, and finally, I was able to see my mum yesterday the 4th of December for the first time in months due to the pod being built. I can't recommend the Claremont enough for what they have done for my mum. 10000 stars from me, thank you to the manager and staff for keeping mum safe.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Care Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

My mother-in-law was a resident at Claremont Lodge for just over a year. I always found the staff very friendly, polite and very helpful, always available to talk if we had any questions. They are very attentive towards the residents, nothing was too much trouble. My wife couldn't praise them enough.
Claremont Lodge is a pleasant place with good facilities, lots of entertainment and activities for the residents who are all encouraged to join in. My mother-in-law was very well looked after in a safe and caring environment, which gave us peace of mind. I would recommend Claremont Lodge Home to anyone.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Care Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely comments, we thank you for choosing the Claremont to place your mum-in-law, we know after all the problems with covid have gone, we can all celebrate the lives of the residents who were here and we would love to see you there when we do. Thank you.

My mum was a resident at Claremont Nursing Home for just over a year until she sadly passed away in July. I can't thank the manager and all the staff enough for the way Mum was looked after. They are a truly caring and compassionate team. They always treated me with respect and a friendly manner and
took time to listen to any worries I had about Mum. I was always kept updated if they had any concerns and even more so when her condition changed. The rooms are nice with own facilities. My mum had lots and lots of her own items which were added to her room to make it more personal. The walls were covered and shelves were filled just to make it feel like home. The food was good and plenty of it, talking from experience as I enjoyed a few meals there. There are two lovely ladies who organise entertainment and outings. Nothing was ever too much trouble for this dedicated team. I do miss going there. I would highly recommend Claremont Nursing Home. It is a safe, friendly, pleasant environment for anybody's loved one's to live.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Care Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely comments, we all miss you. Please when all is back to normal come and see us we will celebrate mums life together. Thank you also for your support with the memory garden. Christine and the team in the lodge.

My experience with Claremont Care Home has been excellent, the staff are very helpful, any questions I have are answered in a pleasant manner. The care towards the residents is very good and they are always cheerful and happy. The food they supply is very good and the activities are excellent (my Mum
loves her food and music).

Following on from my review 18 months ago, I am pleased to say that my mother who has advanced vascular dementia continues to be a happy, contented, well looked after resident at Claremont Lodge.
My mother is now immobile and unable to communicate, and completely dependant on the carers for all her
needs. It is a testament to the good care she has received over the past three years that she remains physically well and not anxious but content and smiley to all who visit her.
All of the staff treat residents as part of their families and there is always a calm, happy atmosphere when I visit. I feel the carers go beyond what is expected of them and go out of their way to ensure the residents feel secure and content in what is now their home.
The management, staff and carers are kind, compassionate and professional. Claremont Lodge is a wonderful example of how all good care homes should be. There are two outstanding young carers.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Care Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely comments it is really good to be able to show staff how they are valued by yourselves. Can you let me know who the young carers are so I can share with them how wonderful they are? Thank you again I appreciate the chance to share good with the team.

It is very early days, only 2 weeks since we moved our mum into Claremont Lodge. We can't believe how her quality of life has improved and she is now engaging with people and speaking and laughing which we haven't witnessed for a long time. We are in no doubt that this was the right decision for our
mum and we are hoping that she will continue to progress. Thank you so much. The staff are amazing, as is the manager.

My parent has been a resident at Claremont House for 9 months, she has Alzheimer's Disease. Mum initially took several weeks to settle in but is more comfortable now. She has a nice size room with her own toilet and sink. We have supplied a TV and a virtual music device for her enjoyment. Staff are
friendly and welcoming. Regular musicians are invited to the home to entertain the residents and the hairdresser visits weekly.

My wife was admitted to the Claremont Nursing Home as a patient needing palliative care, she was suffering with a deep pressure sore, bedridden, unable to converse due to dementia and doubly incontinent. Needing pureed food, fitted with a catheter and turning every two hours. Due to the care she has
received from friendly, caring staff, her overall condition has improved. Eating and drinking well, she is comfortable and secure in a caring atmosphere.

My husband has been a resident since January 2019. Whilst here, he has settled in well. This would not have been so if it wasn't for the care and devotion of all the staff. Their first concern is towards the resident. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They talk and take time to listen to all the
residents and their friends and family. I am always being reassured that he is content and happy which myself and my family have witnessed.

Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law have been resident in Claremont for almost 1 year. Visiting every day I have found all the staff to be very friendly and extremely caring. Nothing is too much trouble. Both my in-laws are very happy here and get on well with all the staff and residents. I have
seen staff with some very challenging situations but are very professional, caring and kind.

My husband and I visited Claremont House on many occasions and at different times of the day. We were always welcomed by cheerful friendly staff who would always offer us a cup of tea. Our friend went into the home after the death of his wife and it took a little while for him to settle but was won
over by the girls' cheery spirit and willingness to help him. He never complained about the meals and loved the social life he could join in with, especially the music afternoons in the lounge and in the village hall where he could show off his dancing skills. When neither of these activities was happening we would often find him playing cards and dominoes.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the manager and all her staff for their great care of our friend.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Home Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for the lovely review, it was a pleasure to have been able to support your loved one and we gained so much from being with him. Thank you also for your support. Claremont appreciates everything you have done and we are always here if you need us.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Claremont Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.740 for Claremont Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 181 Ratings = 4.74

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Claremont Nursing Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
