Well-being coordinator is new and has some good ideas.
Food very nice but can depend on the chef in the kitchen.
Have seen some agency recently but have seen some nice new staff also.

Bright and happy. My mother was here and my husband was here twice. Gone up in practice, flowers and pretty pictures.


The bathroom is always clean but would like to see the bedroom dusted and clean.


I would come here.


Very glad you are here.

Well, what a wonderful home. Caring, fun, feels like a big family home. Lovely carers, so friendly and kind. Nothing too much trouble. I could hear lots of laughter and the cakes were wonderful for afternoon tea. There were singers and visitors. Everyone having fun. I am very impressed. Thank you.

This is just my second visit to my mother. She has been here for a couple of weeks. I live in the US and am over for a week. The two things that came across most strongly were 1) the kindness and care exhibited by staff members and 2) how comfortable my mother was in a place that is not her home. I
could get into more detail after a few more visits but these were my first impressions.

I find that the care staff treat Mum with respect. There is always an activity to take part in if she wants to and the nursing team are very attentive, keeping us informed of any medical issues we need to be aware of. Administration can sometimes be a bit slow, but the manager is always happy to step
in with assistance to resolve queries and is proactive in filling vacancies quickly as the home overall runs smoothly.

My mother-in-law has been cared for in Adelaide House since December 2015. We could not be happier with the care she receives and the fantastic team looking after her.


A big thank you to the manager, nurses, caring staff and cleaners for their dedication.

This home is a home from home.
The staff are friendly, helpful, caring, approachable and respectful.
The home is clean and clients are always kept very clean.
The food is good and plenty of it.
There is plenty of entertainment.
Rooms are a good size, and well equipped.
Nowhere is ever perfect
and nothing is like your home, but when you are looking at care homes this is a good one.

I came in for two weeks as a respite patient from hospital. This was to give my carer and myself some time off. The time spent at Clare House Care Home was beneficial to me as I did not have to lift a finger. There was an incident where I went out for the day and my daughter was called later to ask
where I was, I had already told the day staff but the message did not get through and my daughter was alarmed.

My partner was well looked after for a couple of months before his death in this home. He went downhill rapidly and his needs changed. It took some time to adapt to this eg. Cot side bed, feeding etc. But staff willing to adapt to this.

The staff are caring and kind. They do their best not to keep residents waiting when they need help. My mother is unable to walk or move out of her chair, so has to rely on staff for toilet help etc. The home provides activities and once a month an outing. The home is welcoming and I am free to visit
at any time that suits me (I visit my mother five days a week for two hours a time). My mother has been there for nearly two years and is happy.

Clare House had a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. My aunt received excellent care. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We were always offered refreshments when we visited. In her final days my aunt was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. This home deserves recognition for it's dedication
to making their residents feel valued and respected.

To be told by your elderly mum that she thinks we have found the ideal place for her to live in is immensely reassuring. This is chiefly due to the daily kindness of the whole staff. My brother and I are truly grateful for the service provided by Clare House.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Adelaide House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.756 for Adelaide House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (445 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 558 Ratings = 4.756

  • 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 Adelaide House Care Home is based on 47 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 47 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.

Slawomir Janik

Job Title: Home Manager

What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?


“Treating others the way I would like to be treated. We all have history to share, experiences which make us the way we are. Kindness has many forms, and we always should strive to be kind one to another.”


During his career in the health and care sector, Slawomir has gained a wealth of experience in providing care and nursing support to elderly people to enrich their lives. He is a knowledgeable and dedicated leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards of care and quality of life for residents.


Talking about how he began his career, Slawomir says:


“I was originally supposed to be a banker in my home country of Poland but didn’t love finance and decided to try something different. I started as a carer in 2005, fell in love with the profession and have never looked back.”


Having now worked in the care sector for many years, Slawomir closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every resident. He extends this caring approach to his colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


When asked what he enjoys most about his role, Slawomir remarked:


“I love my work, I describe it as my calling, and could not imagine my life any other way. Every day is different and small things lead to huge differences in the lives of my residents.”


Outside of work, Slawomir enjoys a range of hobbies, spending time with his family, travelling and living life to the fullest.
