Dad has been so happy at Claremont Court. Staff are caring, kind and respectful of all residents taking the time to get to know them and it feels like one big, happy family. Dad is supported to join in activities when he wants to, allowed to make his own choices about those he doesn't and clearly loves
the staff - they get a bigger smile than I do! They know his interests and preferences and support these. The staff have also been so kind and supportive of us, his family. I could not have asked for a better home for dad.

The carers treat the residents with great respect and kindness at all times, the atmosphere is friendly. It seems to me that great care is taken to make residents' lives as fulfilled and meaningful as possible even though many suffer from difficult symptoms of advanced dementia. I love the way carers
smile, wave and say hello to my mother by name as she endlessly walks up and down the corridors. She responds positively and tells me often that she doesn't know who tbe people are that walk up and down but that they are friendly and kind to her. I doubt I could easily find another home where my mother's difficult needs could be so well met.

Claremont Court is truly outstanding. We couldn't wish for our relative to be anywhere else. The staff are so very kind and we have complete peace of mind.
The staff are friendly and approachable. Importantly they treat the residents with great care and love. There is always something happening. They
have lots of people in to entertain such as singing, dancing, animals visiting and so much more... plus lots of outings.
We would highly recommend Claremont Court to anyone considering a dementia care home.

One could not wish for a better place for their loved one to reside when in the throes of Dementia. It's a happy, safe and well-led home, the Claremont Court team are all fantastic, we see the same faces on the team as we did over two years ago, that really says something about the environment and
ensures continuity of care. This home sets the standard of care you would expect!

Finding the right care home for my father has been a tricky problem and this is his 3rd home in the space of 5 months but from day 1 since he has been at Claremont Court we knew we had found the right place. The staff are all lovely, friendly and thoughtful. There is always lots of activities. His bedroom
is bright, sunny and spacious. I only have high praise for this home.

Claremont Court provides a wonderful and safe enviroment that allows all residents to thrive.
It is well managed and well organised. The staff are lovely, so engaged and caring to the residents. They always remember residents favourite songs,activities and interests.
Any of our friend and family who
visit my husband comment on the warmth and friendliness of the Home.
The cleaning staff keep the home immaculate and I really don't know how the lovely laundry staff keep up with their mountainous workload.
I would thoroughly recommend Claremont Court to anyone looking for dementia care for a loved one.

My father has improved so much since he has been at Claremont court. He is socialising , getting involved in activities and walking alot more. None of which was happening before he moved there. He seems to be so settled and happy and everytime I visit he says how well the staff look after him. I find
the staff team very friendly and helpful. Well done to the Claremont court team.

My mother has now been in Claremont Court for just over three years. She has had various issues with her health, but she is safe, comfortable and cared for. The staff always keep me informed of any changes in her care or condition. The staff are always helpful and the management staff are currently
assisting with funding issues with the local council. I can certainly recommend Claremont Court.

I could not be happier with the team at Claremont Court, my experience with them and my dad's ongoing experience there. Dementia is an extremely difficult and nuanced disease to provide care needs for, and requires an almost limitless well of positivity, patience and perseverance, something that every
member of staff at Claremont Court display on a daily basis. It has an excellent management team, a superb and highly professional nursing team that provides regular updates and support, fantastic support team including two staff members in particular who feel like an extension of the care team, the vivacious activities coordinator who is constantly organising fun things for the residents, and each and every carer in the whole team contributes to the positive atmosphere and excellent functioning of the home. Every single person in the home deserves a shout out for their contribution on a daily basis and I know dad would be extremely thankful to each and every one of them.

My husband has been in Claremont Court since the end of January this year, and to start with, having been a very vibrant and active person, was quite a challenging resident for the first couple of months. However, Claremont handled it all very sympathetically, and sensibly and he is now happy and settled.
Claremont
organise a whole range of activities, outings, and entertainments to stimulate the residents, and is so lucky to have brilliant and caring staff at all levels. Dementia has to be one of the most challenging
types of behaviour to deal with, and Claremont Court certainly rises to the challenge.

The aim of making it as close as possible to "being at home" is achieved.
New activities are regularly introduced; sensory stimulation is a recent example.

My husband has been and still is receiving excellent care at Claremont Court. The Carers and staff are very patient and show empathy to both my husband and myself. There is always a relaxed atmosphere when I visit and the abundance of activities arranged for the Residence are very imaginative and fun.
They have a great Chef who makes lovely meals and amazing cakes. I have peace of mind that my husband receives the care that he deserves and needs and thank my lucky stars every day that he is looked after so very well.

The most wonderful and caring home for residents with dementia. The staff are so genuine including all the management staff.
I moved my Mum from another care home to Claremont as they were unable to meet her needs with dementia and Claremont was just amazing through the whole process. I cannot fault
them in any way! The facilities are spotlessly clean and all the residents are very well cared for and happy in there. Most importantly they have love and comfort around them. The manager and her team are the best you could possibly wish for! I am so very happy to have found this fabulous home for my Mum as it is such a difficult disease to deal with not only for the person affected but for the family members too in so many ways.
If you're looking for a care home for your loved one with dementia then look no further!
I can't speak highly enough of everything about Claremont.

Our lovely mum has been a resident at Claremont for almost a year now. The staff are just incredible, showing warmth and compassion to the residents and families alike. Despite Mum having low mobility and not being able to speak so well since a minor stroke recently, her happy demeanor lets us know
that she feels safe and cared for. We really appreciate how the care assistants show her respect and dignity during personal care, where she can be difficult. We are also kept regularly informed of any issues/changes. The staff take the time to get to know the residents and what they like, so it's lovely to see Mum always involved in the singing and dancing activities going on, as she enjoys these immensely. We often come in to find her dancing in her chair in the lounge! As a family, we couldn't have asked for more, and we rest easy knowing she's in the best hands.

I was so worried about putting my mum in a care home but Claremont Court have completely changed my mind. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, it’s always very clean and the residents are extremely well looked after. There are plenty of activities for all to enjoy and there is always a sense
of order about the place. I am pleasantly surprised and happy that we chose this place for her.
The only negative I have is that it would be nice if there were facilities for refreshments for visitors.

Reply from Karen Byres, Home Manager at Claremont Court Care Home

Thanks so much for your lovely review, we're so pleased to read you're happy that you chose Claremont Court to care for your mum. Regarding refreshments facilities for visitors, we're excited to confirm we'll soon be opening a coffee bar for relatives and residents. In the meantime, you are of course still welcome to get a drink in one of our kitchenettes which are located on each floor.

I couldn't recommend Claremont Court Care Home more highly. The care my mum has received over the last 8 months has been exceptional. The whole team make every effort to get to know each resident to ensure they provide a personalised service and caring environment. It is a cross-functional team effort,
from the cleaners and laundry team, the estates team, and catering to the care team. Everybody is involved, and their commitment and care creates a welcoming, warm and friendly care home to visit. My mum has been thriving. There is a schedule of non-stop activities to engage and stimulate the residents, the lifestyle team do a fabulous job. Always so much going on!
My mum is happy, safe and extremely well looked after. Dealing with dementia has its challenges and I couldn't have more admiration for all those involved in her care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Claremont Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.936 for Claremont Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 Court Care Home is based on 25 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
