Wonderful, modern accommodation. Spotlessly clean. Spacious rooms. The staff are friendly, polite and always welcoming. Plenty of activities for residents to do. Rooms are available if you want a quiet place when visiting residents.

Claridge Place is an absolute fabulous care home. All the staff are amazing with the residents and have created a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. As the manager previously looked after my father, I knew who to call when my mom needed care. There are so many excellent staff, and I’m looking forward to
getting to know all the other amazing staff. Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcome every time we come to see Mum.

My mother lives at Claridge Place Care Home and has always been happy there. The environment is beautiful and very warm and spacious.
My mother has her own room which is lovely and always kept clean and tidy.
The manager of the home has recently changed and my mother is over the moon with the new
manager and she has told me 'he pops in every morning to wish me a good morning and he pops in throughout the day to see if I am alright'. This is so lovely to hear as this did not happen previously.
I have visited the home today to see my mother and the home feels very different. The residents are all happy with the things that the new manager has put in place already and I believe he has only been there for one week.
I always speak to the staff when I visit and they have also said that the new manager is already supporting them and listening which is great. The staff have been unhappy over recent months but this seems to be changing now which is great - well done to the new manager!

My mother stayed for two weeks respite and I cannot fault Claridge Place Care Home, the decor and facilities are that of a cruise ship but more importantly, the staff were so genuine and made my mom's stay so happy and I had every confidence that she was safe and cared for whilst me and my husband had
our own break away.
Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my beautiful mom.

My mother moved into Claridge Place 4 weeks ago. I am extremely impressed with everything about this amazing care home. The rooms are beautiful, the staff are wonderful and they care for my mum so well. She did not want to leave her own home (but was unable to manage on her own) but is very happy here.
We are so pleased that she has settled in here so quickly and feel very fortunate that we have been able to get her in here. I have nothing but praise for everything about Claridge Place.

The care cannot be faulted, the staff are amazing, very committed and understanding of my Mum's needs, especially as she is partially sighted and very hard of hearing. I would highly recommend Claridge Place to anyone who has any doubts about a care home for their elderly loved ones.

Would like to thank all the staff at Claridge Place for the wonderful care they gave my aunt, my cousin and I were welcomed to spend the last 24 hours of her life with her and got to see the wonderful care that was given not only to her but also to us. She had been in and out of hospital for 3 weeks
but was allowed back to the home knowing she only had hours left and got the best possible treatment one could wish for, so once again a big thank you for looking after us at this sad time.

My husband has been at this home for a while and unfortunately, as time went on the care standards started to decline. Not having a shower, not having a shave, personal care not been done in the mornings, skin breaking down. Even though there are only a few residents in there, things are not well. A
lot of the residents are bored, nothing to do, not encouraged to come out of their rooms. Had to go in to do my husband's personal care morning and night as I put a camera in and found my husband was not being looked after correctly. It’s a beautiful home but care comes first before chandeliers and furnishings. It is not run like a care home. I think this home definitely needs a CQC visit as soon as possible. Things were reported in the early days but nothing was done. I would not recommend this home. I have now had to put my husband in emergency respite care until the new home that we have found, which has a fantastic reputation is open on the 1st of June. I hope people take notice of this information.

My 88-year-old mother was taken from the hospital directly to Claridge Place in January 2021. She had a fractured shoulder and her mental health was deteriorating.
Claridge Place is a wonderful establishment with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The decor and furnishings are beautiful, with wide airy
corridors. It is truly an oasis in the middle of suburbia.
Of course, the secret to this place is the staff. I was overwhelmed by the care and dignity they afforded my mum as she was in the last days of her life. They not only looked after her and her every need, but they were so kind to my brother and I.
I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful care home in the area with the best of care.

Following a fall in early December, my mother-in-law took up a respite residence at Claridge's. The whole family were amazed at how quickly and efficiently we were able to get her into such a lovely place. Her room is wonderful, she loves the food and company, and is enjoying the entertainment and engagement
in activities on offer. We are so impressed with the little details that they have got so right, and the interest they have shown in making sure that she is settled, comfortable and happy as soon as possible. Obviously, during the lockdown, contact has been limited, and we have not been able to see all the facilities for ourselves, but we do know that my mother-in-law is looking happy, relaxed and free from the stress of single living.

Reply from Clair Gurteen, Home Manager at Claridge Place

Hi Lesley,

What to say about this home? I say the decor is very tasteful and food excellent for mass cooking. Talking to some of the residents they have expressed a wish for more entertainment after the evening meal as talking to people would be of benefit to all. Bingo seems to go down well so perhaps asking
them what they would like to do and providing you have the staff. The staff are very attentive but maybe more staff are needed.

My mother-in-law stayed here for respite care following a hip operation. We chose Claridge Place due to the wonderful experience we had for my father-in-law, who had stayed at Claridge for Dementia care. This home is so caring, loving and well managed.
She was very well looked after and she enjoyed
her stay. She said the food was really good and the staff were both friendly and attentive. The quality of the accommodation is 5* and we recommend Claridge Place to anyone thinking of either respite or long term care.

My mum has had a hip replacement and came to Claridge Place without a second thought. My father lived at Claridge Place for 10 months last year and had the most outstanding care, love and respect he could have ever asked for.
The care for my mum again is outstanding. The staff are amazing.
Claridge
Place is run by the manager who is the nicest lady you could ever meet. To me, a good home is always run by good management and this shines through.

I would just like to say a great big thank you for all the love and care you gave to my Mom during her stay at Claridge Place. The Manager is a lovely caring lady, the staff gave Mom so much love and care that Mom has never had before. Nothing was too much for the staff. Mom was treated as if she was
part of one big family. I will never forget how good you all were. Thank you again, you should all be so proud and all the residents love you. Best regards.

Thank you Janet for your very kind words, it means so much to all of us here at Claridge Place. Your mum was such an amazing lady with a wonderful, supportive family. We miss her so very much as I'm sure you all do. Once things have relaxed a bit please pop back in and see us for a coffee. Take care.

As a family, we made the hard decision that Mum, who has vascular dementia, sadly needed professional 24/7 care. After an incredibly traumatic experience of her escaping from a local care home and them refusing to support Mum and us as a family with her illness, we were at our wit's end. We found Claridge
Place and are thrilled we did. Mum is treated with dignity and respect and the staff are amazing. They continue to bring out Mum's amazing personality that this awful disease is trying to extinguish. Every single member of staff shows her warmth and support. They all work as a team to make this heartbreaking period of our lives so much easier to deal with. We are welcomed every time we visit and when I see Mum there, I know this is the very best place she can be to enhance her standard of living. My dad, my sister and I feel so grateful to have found Claridge Place.

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.
