Researched numerous care homes in the area and Claremont came out tops. My mother who has Lewy body dementia cannot communicate either orally or written. She is also totally immobile. All Claremont staff look after my mother with excellent care, compassion and understanding. My mother also requires
to be fed. I am kept fully updated by all staff on changes in my mother's condition. Choosing Claremont for Mother was a fantastic family decision. I have no concerns.

Our family researched many care homes before choosing Claremont for our Mum - a fantastic decision. From day one, all the staff went out of their way to make our whole family welcome to our Mum's new home. Throughout her stay, this excellent standard of care continued and she was very contented. We
as a family were always made welcome and were kept up to date with Mum's wellbeing and any changes in her condition. In the last couple of weeks of her life, we were treated with warmth and compassion by all the staff. Mum died at 4.50am on 19th December - the night staff informed us at 3am - letting us have time with Mum before she died. Our heartfelt thanks to the manager and all the staff.

My wife has been a resident since August 2018. I find the facilities very good. She is well looked after and both she and her surroundings are always clean. The staff are all excellent, friendly and cheerful. My wife is not always the easiest to cope with but the staff take it all in their stride. Food
is very good. I would have no qualms in recommending Claremont to anyone.

Our family have been visiting the care home twice daily for three years. The staff are very welcoming and eager to please. Any small issues are rectified extremely quickly and the care home has a very friendly feel.

All care staff very good but they seem to change a lot. In general, the home seems to be well organised and efficient. Would be good if nurses could sit in on doctor visits, to ensure all medical conditions are being relayed to doctors.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, TBC at Claremont Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback about Claremont. We try to maintain staff continuity in each unit but at times we need to make some changes to ensure each unit is safely staffed but do appreciate that this is not ideal.
When a resident is seen by their GP, a trained member of staff is always present, unless the resident requests a private consultation. In that instance, the GP would then pass on all relevant information to the trained staff member.

Mum came here after being in another nursing home. She settled well due to the care and support from all the staff. Everyone is always friendly and nothing is a trouble to them. I couldn't ask for better.

My mum has been staying at the Claremont since May. During this time I have had nothing but excellent service. Nothing is too much bother and everyone seems happy to help.
The staff have been excellent and I would highly recommend.

The care my dad receives is excellent. He has put on weight and is content and happy he has company and supervision 24 hours a day, which allows us to get to our work and have a normal life.
It also gives my dad a far better quality of life than he would have at home.

I'd like to see more helpful activities being practised, that I feel could benefit my mum. Thanks,

Reply from Clare Sheehan at Claremont Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback about Claremont. Every month our key workers devise a list of activities that are meaningful to each resident and these are carried out on resident of the day. Activity staff meet with residents every month and discuss previous and future activities. They then devise a programme of weekly and monthly activities from residents' feedback. We encourage all residents to participate in activities and we do try to cater for all 80 residents.

Paperwork for staff appears to be excessive. There is sometimes a delay in gaining entry at night. Staff are patient and attentive with residents.

Reply from Claire Hurworth, Care Line Manager at Claremont Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback about Claremont. Staff are required to keep accurate, up to date and timely records about residents but we do try to keep this minimal. To keep our residents safe we have a secure entrance at the front of the building. During busy periods it may take longer for staff to answer. We do appreciate this is not ideal.

Mum deteriorated rapidly and entered Claremont at short notice.
It has been a great comfort to the family that mum is cared for by such wonderful staff. Her care needs are fully met and she is treated very much as an individual.
It's great to see her stable and she now laughs again.

I have found nearly all of the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Nurses in charge are always very reliable. I have always been kept up to date with any issues regarding my mum. Laundry system is not the best as stuff is continually getting mixed up.
Nearly always staff available if required unless
they are busy which is understandable.
My mum is settled and content and that's all that matters.

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.
