Providing well-regarded care to the local residents of Caister-on-sea, Norfolk, Claremont House is a purpose-built building that offers spacious rooms, engaging activities and high-quality care, located close to village shops and the Norfolk coast.

Claremont House provides specialist nursing and elderly care for the local residents of Caister-on-sea, Norfolk. Run by a warm, welcoming and enthusiastic team, Claremont House offers high quality care that maintains an excellent reputation within the local community.

In addition, it incorporates a welcoming reception area, dining room, two lounges, one of which has an early 1950s feel, a themed hairdressing salon and an attractive sensory garden, on the patio, all of which residents and their guests can enjoy. Although rooms are fully furnished, they encourage residents to bring with them items of furniture and personal effects to complement those already provided so that their room can become an individual retreat.

Claremont Lodge, like Claremont House, is situated on the High Street of Caister-on-Sea conveniently near to a range of shops and amenities. To ensure, where possible, that residents have an active social life, regular trips takes are organised to the local shops, theatre, etc., allowing everyone to benefit from the fresh sea air of the nearby coastline. If you simply wish for peace and tranquillity, well maintained gardens and courtyards surround the home, allowing you to enjoy a haven from the bustle of the town.

Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills in dementia care but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. They are on hand around the clock to provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.

Both my mum and myself find all the staff friendly, helpful and caring. The meals provided are wonderful and the home is kept immaculately clean. There are wonderful activities and I feel these have helped my mum immensely. There is much encouragement to join in and something is going on daily, be it
quizzes, bingo, animal visits or nursery children, it's a wonderful environment.

My husband died on 8/4/25 in Claremont House. There was a member of staff with me from Saturday night, 9:30 pm, till his passing Sunday, 6am, virtually all the time. The kindness and love received has been overwhelming from all the carers, nursing staff, cleaners, kitchen staff and maintenance man,
not to mention the manager. Will never forget the wonderful care of both my husband and me over almost 6 years. Thank you.

My wife and I visited our relatives for the first time after they became residents at Claremont Nursing Home. From the outset, the friendliness and care shown was very evident. Our visit extended into their lunch and we were invited to have lunch with them which was very nice. We came away confident
that they were receiving very good care for their particular issues.

I am with the local nursery and we visit on Monday mornings with around 10 youngsters ranging from 2-4 years old. With every visit the staff, children and residents gain lots of pleasure and enjoyment. The residents are always happy and looked after very well by the staff. The residents always talk
about how much they love being there and always talking about the activities they get up to. The facilities are excellent and very clean.

Reply from Ian Gooch, Home Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for such a lovely review. I know how much the residents love their weekly visits from the children and how much it means to them. I'm happy to see that the enjoyment is shared.

I have been visiting Claremont House now with my nursery children on a weekly basis for three years now. The residents are well cared for and supported by staff. The relationships they have with the residents is clear to see. The home is clean and bright and very inviting. The kitchen always prepare
snack that the residents and children share, which is always of the highest quality. Claremont has worked hard to create amazing spaces for the residents and we have also had the pleasure of meeting them out within the local community. Our work with Claremont has and continues to benefit both the children and residents by increasing well-being, building relationships and sharing skills. Everyone looks forward to Mondays and the joy that is felt by all during our sessions is immeasurable. Intergenerational care is gaining motion within Great Britain and I am so proud to be associated with Claremont and our ground breaking work. I would recommend Claremont highly.

Reply from Ian Gooch, Home Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for such a detailed review. I know how much the connection between Claremont and the children means to the residents, it is certainly the highlight of their week to share this time together.

The care that everyone does for my friend is lovely. I come into visit him every week.
Best thing there is the food and games.
I was allowed to join in when I visited last time for fish and chips and bingo games.
I miss my neighbour terribly but know that we still have a lot of fun time together
at his new home.
I know for sure when I where I would like to come when I need to be cared for sometime soon.
Thank you.

We were worried about putting Dad into a care home but we couldn't have chosen a better place. Dad's time at Claremont Lodge was filled with warmth, kindness and respect. The staff really are the kindest people and supported us as a family too.
Entertainment, especially singing and dancing, trips out
were important to Dad and we chose this home for the abundance of fun events and activities. We were not disappointed, as it was above and beyond all expectations. He very much enjoyed the food too. Despite his illness, Dad was able to laugh and have fun here, thanks to the whole amazing team of kind and loving people. Thank you to all.

My mum has been at Claremont Nursing Home since September 2022 following a stroke, she was only in for respite for physiotherapy, the then manager didn't push or follow up mum's physiotherapy and then left after a couple of months of Mum being there, then another manager took up the post of manager
and after just a few months he then left and another manager took over.
The now manager has turned the home around with the focus being that the home is the resident's home and the staff come to work to help and assist the residents with their daily needs as well as entertainment, the entertainment manager has really worked closely with the manager and now there are always activities on for the residents, including visits from the local nursery school, singers and cabaret weekly, bingo and even taking residents out to the beach on a 1-2-1 including my mum.
I am so happy with the way things have started turning around and would highly recommend Claremont Nursing Home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.709)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.709) out of 10 for Claremont Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.709 for Claremont Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 182 Ratings = 4.709

  • 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 Claremont 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:

    • 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
