The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Clairleigh Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Clairleigh Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.544 for Clairleigh Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.544
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clairleigh Nursing Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6 positive Reviews (30 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 14 Reviews ÷ 6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

From my first visit in May, I was made to feel very welcome. I went unannounced and the staff I met were all helpful. My friend was being well looked after and had only good things to say about the home and the people looking after him. He likes to go in the garden and as he is in a wheelchair, they always find time to take him out there. He likes the activities and quizzes. I am welcome to visit anytime, any day and there is always tea and coffee on hand. This is a very good care home with excellent management and staff.

The entire team are always extremely welcoming when I visit my brother. I feel they know him as a person, not just a patient. He appears to be clean and well fed and his clothes are clean. The home is currently undergoing extensive building work, however, my brother's room is always clean. My brother says that the staff are all very kind. When I visit they are often having a laugh with him and other residents.

My mother who was a resident at Clairleigh Nursing Home, died on the 20th of May. She was there for only three and a half months but was extremely frail and ill. During that time, she was cared for with great kindness and at the end, the staff were wonderful. I have rarely witnessed such tenderness and compassion from every level of personnel and they were an immense comfort to me at my time of loss. I cannot speak highly enough of them.

Since my sister has been in Claircleigh Nursing Home (2 years) she has been well cared for as she is completely bedridden. Since she came here there has been considerable building, extension work going on. Despite these difficulties, the staff have all coped well and with cheerfulness.

My father has been a resident for one year and during that time I have found the home to be an excellent environment with very caring staff and everyone is always helpful. There have been two occasions when my father had falls and I was contacted by the home so I am happy that the resident's welfare and safety are maintained. Although the building works have been ongoing throughout the past year and the residents have not suffered at all although visitors parking at the home has been difficult at times. The programme of activities has been excellent including some visiting entertainers and on some occasions, visits to theatres have been organised.

My mother has been a resident for almost three years and has received extremely good care and attention. Many of the staff have been exceptional in their dedication and sensitivity and have gone beyond their job requirement to make the residents feel safe and cared-for.
Major building work has recently cramped the lounge areas temporarily, but the activities manager has done sterling work in keeping the residents entertained and motivated.
I feel very confident that my mother is in safe hands.

This is a very clean, well-managed home with caring staff. My mother enjoys her surroundings and is particularly complimentary about the staff, the food and her room. The home has been undergoing major renovations and this has not affected the quality of the services provided. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

I'm very pleased we have chosen Clairleigh for our mother at this stage of her life. Particularly considerate and effective management support/assistance has been provided to our family, providing reassurance at a testing time for all concerned. Good liaison with local hospital and GPs is evident. Caring and friendly nursing staff are always present to attend to mum's needs, with careful and respectful attention provided.

Clairleigh Nursing Home is a wonderful and unique nursing home. As soon as I went there I knew it was the right place for my mum. The building is beautiful with a very homely atmosphere. However, what makes Clairleigh really special is it's amazing and wonderful set of staff. They are truly dedicated, caring and kind and do everything they can to help. I know that my mum is in the best possible home - where she is loved and I can have the piece of mind and trust that she will always receive excellent care.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by M H (Son of Resident) on Friday 10 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
My mother has been at Clairleigh Nursing Home for just over two years. She has received consistently good care which has resulted in her being very much part of the care home family. There has been a lot of change at Clairleigh, not only staff but major building works. Overall, this change has been handled well. My mother does not have dementia, so is not "the norm" when compared to most of the other residents. However, Claireleigh has respected and maintained my mother's dignity and provided stimulation that is essential.

Clairleigh Nursing Home just works. From the moment you walk in it just feels right. It is like home - not a care home or a nursing home - just home. From the amazing staff to the facilities and atmosphere you can't go wring with Clairleigh. Mum has been there for 18 months and there has been several changes but I have never doubted the ability of the staff to give the very best to all the residents. They genuinely care and it helps me sleep at night knowing that mum is in safe hands.

The home itself is very welcoming and comfortable, a real home from home. It has beautiful gardens, the food is good and all the residents are kept nice and they all look very happy.
Sadly Mum was only at the home for 3 weeks before she passed away. I could not have wished for better care in her final days. She was treated with great care dignity and respect and the staff were genuinely upset at her passing. There was no rush for us to leave and the Manager is a genuinely nice caring person. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

My aunt came to Clairleigh in April 2015.
The welcome she received was lovely and every member of staff made her feel so much at home. The standard of her room was excellent and I could not have wished for better care for her. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the carers and all nursing team went beyond expectations.
The manager was available to answer any questions. Thank you so much.

My mother is currently a resident at Clairleigh Nursing Home. She is unable to walk and needs assistance with almost everything.
The staff - nurses and carers are first class. They really seem to genuinely care about their residents and try to make life enjoyable for them. My mother is treated with patience, dignity and respect and I want to thank the staff at the Clairleigh for all their help.
Mum's room is lovely with a nice view of the garden. The food is good too.
If there is a medical problem with mum then one of the nurses always telephones to let me know what is happening.
I would be happy to go to the Clairleigh as a resident if and when I become infirm.
