I have found all the staff to be extremely helpful during the whole process of my father being admitted and throughout his first six months in residence.
It was difficult to choose a home without visiting it (due to Covid) but staff from the first call onwards were great. My father has settled well,
has regained the weight he lost in hospital (food is great) and seems to be happy and settled. Thank you for your continuing care both to my dad and to my mother who found the whole process overwhelming at first.

All the staff have been excellent looking after my mother during, and now as we hopefully come out of, Covid restrictions. They have accommodated us with calls and video calls and have given me and my family the assurance my mum is being very well cared for during this difficult and frustrating time
of her life. She was also a very independent woman, strong and active, so I can imagine she will keep everyone on their toes!

My cousin has now been resident in Claremont for 3 years and I have had no complaints about her care. The staff are always very caring and supportive, she is happy in her environment. I am kept very well up to date with everything relating to her health and wellbeing especially during the recent lockdowns.
Everyone is approachable in a bright and well maintained environment.

Excellent care home. The staff know my mum really well, and she has developed a strong bond and attachment to them. All care plans are tailored to individual needs and with the client in mind. There is a warm, welcoming ethos within the home, and the staff are warm and friendly. Excellent communication
maintained with families during this challenging time.

Staff are fantastic. Mum didn't come into Claremont Care Home until June and we have been very pleased with her progress with her condition.
There are areas I cannot comment on as we have not yet been allowed in and Mum cannot comment on due to short term memory.

I have not responded to some categories as they are not pertinent. I have always been happy with the care my wife received. I think the staff and management in Arran Ward are very good. The action of the staff and management in the home is a reflection as to why they have remained Covid-free. Hopefully
this will continue.

My Mum moved here from another nursing home where she had been for a couple of months.
My family and I are amazed at the difference here at the Claremont in Ayr.
The home is lovely and clean, with such caring staff who really do treat my mum with dignity and respect.
The food is fantastic and Mum
can choose from the menu or just opt for sandwiches, omelette or even just a bowl of ice cream, whatever she asks for they will do their best to sort it for her.
Mum felt so happy to have had her hair done and nails painted by her carer who helps her pick her outfit for the day.
Mum loves the daily entertainments and of course the coffee and cakes.
Most important of all is that my mum has found her smile again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to one and all at the Claremont.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.060)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.060) out of 10 for Claremont Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.760 for Claremont Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.76

  • 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 4.3 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Claremont Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.5

  • 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.
