You couldn't ask for a better place for a family member to be living. All staff show the meaning of care and this gives us peace of mind every single day. Gold star for all services.

I am extremely pleased with the level of care and welcoming approach that has been given to my mother from all the staff since taking up residence some two months ago. Clearly she is going from strength to strength and has settled in well. The ambience of Claremont Court together with the stimulus of
both staff and other residents around her has helped my mother become much more relaxed and very happy in her new environment.

My mother initially went into Claremont Court for two weeks respite after I had moved in with her in own home since February 2015. Whilst I was with her she was very restless and agitated and at times violent. I now think this is because she was no longer in charge of her own domain. However, after
her respite (she settled in extremely well, much to my surprise) it was decided that it would be better for her to become a permanent resident in Claremont Court. The change in her has been amazing; every time I visit she is totally relaxed and calm, and not at all concerned when I leave her. I am sure this change is due to the welcoming environment as well as the attitude of the manager and her staff.

The service provided to our mother and ourselves at Claremont Court in Guildford is excellent. The standard of care is superb in that it provides not only good food, medical care and facilities but also wonderful care in a loving compassionate atmosphere. The carers are superb and unfailingly cheerful
whilst maintaining my mothers care and dignity. I would highly recommend Claremont Court to anyone whose relative is suffering from dementia.

After nine months of searching, we were really pleased for my wife to be offered a place at Claremont Court. My wife has now been in residence for 3 months, and has settled in well. She has become much calmer, has put on weight and is eating, drinking and keeping well, and this is a great relief to
me. The staff are very welcoming, warm and friendly, and treat my wife with dignity. The location of this home is superb, being at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Activities in the home are many and varied - Highly recommended.

We were very happy with Mums care, it is never easy with dementia sufferers but all the staff were patient, efficient and compassionate, we couldn't have asked for any more. The home was bright and clean, facilities and meals were good and there were activities arranged regularly.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.919 for Claremont Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.919

  • 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 22 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 22 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.
