Having previously visited several care homes, our visit to Claridge Place was extraordinary. It was quite obvious upon arrival that Claridge Place created a welcoming, friendly happy place for both residents and relatives.
Claridge Place with its stunning décor throughout and generous room size, made
our choice of care home easier. The whole team are always accommodating, polite, and happy to see you. They are available for a catch-up when we are visiting Dad, and nothing is too much trouble.
I am now able to visit Dad as his daughter and chat about life, hobbies and memories happily, knowing that he is safe and well cared for.
Thank you again to the whole amazing Claridge Place team for making Dad and his family so welcome, you have definitely provided peace of mind for all the family.

After almost three years of residential care at this beautiful care home my aunt has recently been moved to a different room in the memory suite. Unfortunately, her dementia has progressed and she now needs a slightly different type of care.
The move was handled well, all of her belongings were transferred
to a very similar-looking room and placed exactly where they had been before so that it would feel familiar to her. She will still see staff she is familiar with and does not appear distressed by the transition.
Thank you to all of the amazing staff at Claridge Place who continue to care for my aunt in such a kind and thoughtful way.

I have recently placed my sister-in-law in the caring hands of Claridge Place. The home has a floor devoted to dementia patients. From my original contact and eventual placement, I have found all the staff to be extremely efficient, caring and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending this home
as a warm, friendly and safe environment for their loved ones.

My mum has been at Claridge Place for over 3 years. She is well settled and now calls it home.
The home is spacious and full of light. The facilities are excellent. Her room is comfortable and has ensuite facilities.
The staff are amazing and care for my mum with patience even though she isn’t always
easy to deal with.
It is clear that the management team they do a job they love and are committed to. They show genuine concern for the residents in their care. I find them approachable and easy to deal with. I am confident about raising any issues with them and know they will do their best to help. Matters are handled with confidence and due care.
I believe the high standards in the home have been set and achieved by the current manager who has worked hard to improve standards and raise the bar. He has a genuine affection for my mum which is clear to see.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Dad moved to Claridge Place from a very different care home on the 18th of January. Up until last summer, Dad had been mostly independent but after falling poorly and a long stay in various hospitals he was moved to a care home where the level of care and compassion were nowhere near an acceptable level,
leaving us with a very dark view of care homes as a whole.
On our initial visit, Claridge Place offered us a completely different viewpoint to care home living - it was spacious, clean, caring, compassionate and interested in their residents! We are still struggling somewhat to put 100% trust in anyone to look after Dad as well as we did but Claridge Place is certainly giving us a run for our money!
Dad's mobility has improved greatly and, although his dementia is still here, we continue to have flashes of the real Dad coming through which is wonderful!
We can only say a massive thank you to the staff at Claridge Place for their care and support with Dad - long may it continue!

Putting my mum into a care home was a big decision to make but after the first time I saw Claridge Place and was shown around by a lovely member of staff, I could tell how happy the residents were and what a lovely relationship they had with the staff.
I knew that this care home was indeed not only
the right home for my mum but also a beautiful home for family and friends to visit. My mum had a lovely stay over Christmas and I have now extended her stay while we get the funding in place to keep my mum there permanently as she has settled in so well.
If anyone reading this is considering a care home for a loved one, then I would highly recommend Claridge Place to them.
Since Mum has been living there my role as a daughter has returned and the pressure of being a carer has been lifted so this has affected my life and my mums in a very positive way.
My mum is now enjoying getting her hair and nails done, taking part in activities and being encouraged to play the piano again.

Reply from James Morris, Senior General Manager at Claridge Place

Thank you so much for your lovely kind review. It is our absolute pleasure in being able to care for mom and also extend our care to you as a family.

I went into Claridge Place Care Home for two weeks respite care following a hip replacement and I am very pleased I did because I came home feeling relaxed.
I would recommend it to anyone needing a rest. Staff and food were excellent.
Having never been in a care home before I was pleasantly surprised.

My sister has only just been admitted; however, the service and contact we received prior to her coming in have been excellent. We were kept up to date throughout the process. We felt very well looked after, so knew my sister would be too.
Day one of my sister being here and she absolutely loved it
here already, and we know as her family that she will be well looked after and will love it here.
Everyone from Claridge Place is so lovely, and it's a credit to the management that the team are so committed and only wants to help and make my sister's stay an enjoyable one. Thank you.

Claridge Place Care Home offers a real home from home with a family feel. The staff promote the independence of those in their care and take their needs and preferences into account. The food looks absolutely amazing.
The management team have taken a really sensible approach during Covid ensuring regulations

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Claridge Place is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 4.983 for Claridge Place is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 Claridge Place 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, 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.
