My mother has settled well into Solent Cliffs. The staff are patient and kind to her. They learnt very quickly how to care for her as an individual. Any concerns the family have had (very few) are dealt with very quickly.

My Mum was transferred here in January from QA for care, due to a fall and becoming non weight bearing. M organised everything competently and was available to answer my many questions constantly. Mum's room was spotless and beautifully decorated. She was looked after with compassion and taken down
to the day room daily to socialise with the other residents. This was very important to her. N and V were extremely helpful and went out of their way to help mum settle in. Mum loved the food and quoted "This is not just food ..this is Solent Cliffs food!!"G and V provided an enjoyable and varied entertainment and activity programme which Mum joined in as enthusiastically . The carers were friendly, gentle and understanding especially M (J) who was very kind to mum. Mum was very confused at times but she was treated with dignity. A big thank you to everyone and mum is looking coming back for respite soon.
Reply from Hayley Kramm, Registered Manager at Solent Cliffs Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are truly delighted to hear that your mum felt comfortable, well cared for, and welcomed during her stay with us. It means a great deal to the whole team to know that her room, the activities, and the social time in the day room helped make her experience enjoyable.

Your lovely comments about the staff will be shared with them, especially M, N, V, G and M (J). Our team work very hard to provide compassionate care and to ensure every resident is treated with dignity, so it is wonderful to know that this made such a positive difference to your mum.

We are also very pleased to hear she enjoyed the food so much - her quote certainly made us smile!

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming your mum back to Solent Cliffs for her respite stay soon

Although my dear dad only spent the last two weeks of his life here, he was treated with dignity, respect and was shown great care and kindness. I cannot fault any of the staff from the manager right down to the lowest orderly. Always ready to listen and answer any questions or concerns and to comfort
me as well as my dad. They are very empathetic, showing a true understanding to my dads needs as well as showing care and professionalism at all times. Every member of staff have shown me and my family great care and kindness at this difficult time.
Reply from Hayley Kramm, Registered Manager at Solent Cliffs Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We are truly honoured that you chose us to care for your dad during his final weeks.

It means a great deal to our entire team to know that he was treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, and that you and your family felt supported during such a difficult time. Providing comfort, understanding, and attentive care to both our residents and their loved ones is at the heart of everything we do.

Your kind words about our staff will be shared with the whole team, as they work incredibly hard to ensure every person in our care is treated with the kindness and professionalism they deserve.

Please accept our deepest condolences once again. Thank you for trusting us to care for your dad and for taking the time to recognise the team's efforts.

My mum has been a resident at Solent Cliffs for the past 3 years. During this time, the level of care, support and kindness has been amazing. The professionalism shown by everyone has been such a reassuring thing, and the smiles and engagement of the staff, each visit and on the phone so welcoming.
Mum recently passed away, and the kindness, advice, support and care shown was again above and beyond. We couldn't have asked for more from everyone at Solent Cliffs. Hayley and the team are the best, and we can't thank them enough.

Me and my family never expected to be writing another review 9 years after Mum first went to live at Solent Cliffs a very poorly lady , on discharge from hospital, to receive what the hospital described as end of life care. Her health conditions were stabilised by the care at Solent and in her first
years she was able to enjoy her new home and join in activities and the friendship of the nurses and carers. With age she now can not see or hear very well and has dementia which have all sadly deteriorated. It is hard for us all and her at times but the care she has, the dignity and the love showed to her through all stages of her progressive illnesses have never waivered,.hence a few weeks ago she reached 100 years old and despite no partying , she had a sleepy day, Solent made her day very special , her room sparkled just like the love and dedication of all..Thank you

My son was at Solent Cliffs for an assessment period and to receive nursing care. The home is very well managed with staff, who all care about the residents and cannot be faulted with the care they provide. There has always been a happy and welcoming atmosphere with a cheery smile and attention to detail.
The nursing staff were excellent, communication with other staff was prompt, especially with sharing updated information. The home was always clean and welcoming. Activities provided to engage and entertain the residents.
Reply from Hayley Kramm, Registered Manager at Solent Cliffs Nursing HomeThank you for this, looking after your son was such a pleasure. We wish you all the best for the future.

We have always found all staff to be very professional and extremely friendly.
The care of the staff and the activities arranged cannot be faulted. We were always welcomed and always met with a very 'homely' attitude and nothing was ever too much trouble. It is such a relief knowing mum is in a safe
place and very well cared for - thank you!!
Reply from Hayley Kramm, Registered Manager at Solent Cliffs Nursing HomeThank you so much for your lovely words. It truly means a great deal to us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was told by a friend, when looking for a care home, not to look at the flash surroundings, or facilities, but to look to see if the staff are happy at work. And I would recommend this to anyone now.
The staff at my Dads' nursing home are amazing, they go beyond what is expected of them to look after
the residents. They truly do care. They know all the residents individually, knowing their likes and dislikes and notice if they are slightly off colour. They are also wonderfully friendly to their visiting relatives and friends.


At my Dads last care home I would constantly be worrying about him and I always seemed to have one issue or another with the care he was receiving, but here, I don't worry about his care, I know he is being well looked after. Its such a relief to know this. I can't recommend this home enough!

Reply from Hayley Kramm, Registered Manager at Solent Cliffs Nursing HomeThank you for your kind words. When supporting residents with person-centred care, it's often the small changes we notice that can make the biggest difference. A smile goes a long way.

After a terrible ordeal in hospital came to this nursing home. What an amazing place! Clean and tidy. Staff who are caring, committed and experienced in the care of the residents! Nothing is too much trouble, attended to 24/7. All of the staff are focused and work well as a team, which is good for me.
Lots of weekly activities, catering for all needs. Beautiful garden to sit in and chat to other residents. Food is excellent, chef will cook anything that you want. Well run by the manager.

My brothers and I have been impressed by the welcome and warmth shown to our brother since his arrival in the summer. Despite his dementia, he has regained some speech after several years previously when he was unable to say much at all. We are sure this is due to the stimulating activities provided
by the care home. We've also noted that his awareness and concentration have improved. All the staff are such caring and understanding people. He could not be in better hands. His bedroom has room for all his books and the maintenance staff kindly put up his favourite pictures. We can visit at any time we want and are always made very welcome indeed. We could not be more delighted with Solent Cliffs.

My sister recently arrived at Solent Cliffs Nursing Home from a care home in another area. From the outset, she was welcomed with a smile and reassurance from all staff. Staff appear happy and caring, treating residents with dignity and respect. My sister has now accepted help with personal care something
she refused at her previous care home although it was needed. It's been good to see her begin to participate in some of the activities especially music events as music is her passion. I feel now I can relax knowing that my sister is safe and being looked after in a caring and thoughtful manner. Thank you to the Solent Cliffs team for all they do. It's a happy and caring environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After reviewing 15 other care homes and a poor experience for 4 months at a purpose-built home, we placed Mum in the Solent Cliffs Nursing Home. We can honestly say that we wholeheartedly agree with the 5-star reviews already given to the home. All the staff from the nurses, carers, activity co-ordinators,
domestic and not least catering, are highly capable, proactive, kind and attentive. We were looking for a home that would support my mum's Dementia, Incontinence, Macular degeneration, worsening mobility issues and increasing nursing requirements. Solent Cliffs is excelling in supporting all of these conditions whilst keeping her safe, engaged and interacting with other residents and staff. The last 2022 Care Quality Commission assessment does not reflect the excellent standards that are now operating under the leadership of the care home manager. For the first time since Mum moved into a care home, we now have peace of mind that she is being looked after properly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother required a nursing home placement following a nasty fall and a period of time in hospital. She was physically and emotionally fragile and totally overwhelmed by events. When she arrived at Solent Cliffs the staff were welcoming, helpful, kind and professional. They all took time to get to
know my mother and to make her feel safe and cared for. My mother had wounds which needed nursing care and monitoring. The nursing staff were attentive and her wounds healed well. Staff were responsive to our requests and available to answer questions. Visitors were always welcomed with a smile. The team ethic is strong; staff have good relationships with each other and this is reflected in their care for the residents. Their practices are consistent and resident-focused. Staff interaction with residents was always positive, even on busy days, the needs of the residents were their priority. I felt reassured my mother would be safe. We very much appreciated the use of the coffee lounge and its outlook on the beautifully tended garden; the colourful flower displays were truly an aid to well-being and recovery. Thank you.


We wish to extend our grateful thanks to everyone at Solent Cliffs. This was a funded placement - I don't know the costings for this home. I would just like to mention that the toilet in my mother's room was extremely low - she often struggled to get on/off unless supported. I would have expected that the toilets would be raised or a taller style, to make using it easier for residents likely to have mobility problems. At home, we have installed a toilet which is 50 cm at seat height.

Reply from Hayley Kramm, Registered Manager at Solent Cliffs Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to care for such a wonderful lady and so glad that we could assist in her road to recovery.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Solent Cliffs Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.816 for Solent Cliffs Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.816
  2. 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Solent Cliffs Nursing Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    2. 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Hayley Kramm

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2023

I began my career in care at the age of 18 at Solent Cliffs Nursing Home, where my passion for nursing first took root. I went on to train as a nurse at London South Bank University; once qualified, I gained valuable experience as a stroke nurse at King’s College Hospital. After two years in the fast-paced environment of a London hospital, I returned to the South and joined the cardiac intensive care team at Southampton University Hospital. I later returned to Solent Cliffs as a registered general nurse before stepping into my first managerial role at another nursing home, where I earned my NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management. Following this, I worked at Beechwood, another Beneva home, where I progressed from RGN to clinical lead and eventually deputy manager. When the opportunity arose to return to Solent Cliffs as manager, I felt a strong calling to come back to the place where my journey began. I am deeply passionate about delivering person-centred care, fostering a positive workplace culture, and ensuring all residents—regardless of age—can live with dignity and comfort. I also enjoy mentoring staff and promoting growth within the team. The home at Solent Cliffs benefits from a wide variety of experience and a rich, multicultural background, something I value deeply, as it brings diverse perspectives and strengthens the care they provide.
