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 mother-in-law and father-in-law have been resident in Claremont for almost 1 year. Visiting every day I have found all the staff to be very friendly and extremely caring. Nothing is too much trouble. Both my in-laws are very happy here and get on well with all the staff and residents. I have
seen staff with some very challenging situations but are very professional, caring and kind.

My husband and I visited Claremont House on many occasions and at different times of the day. We were always welcomed by cheerful friendly staff who would always offer us a cup of tea. Our friend went into the home after the death of his wife and it took a little while for him to settle but was won
over by the girls' cheery spirit and willingness to help him. He never complained about the meals and loved the social life he could join in with, especially the music afternoons in the lounge and in the village hall where he could show off his dancing skills. When neither of these activities was happening we would often find him playing cards and dominoes.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the manager and all her staff for their great care of our friend.

Reply from Christine Morgan, Home Manager at Claremont Nursing Home

Thank you for the lovely review, it was a pleasure to have been able to support your loved one and we gained so much from being with him. Thank you also for your support. Claremont appreciates everything you have done and we are always here if you need us.

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with vascular dementia in April 2017 and through Social Services she was found a room in Claremont Lodge.


We were very apprehensive to start with not experiencing anything like this before within either of our families. However, the management and staff went out of

their way to ensure us that everything would be fine and that she would be well cared for, which is the case. They are kind, compassionate, caring and professional. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are always happy and welcoming, whatever time of day we visit.


The care, the management and staff gives is second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending Claremont Nursing Home to other families in a similar situation.

My mum was well looked after at the Claremont. Staff are lovely, very friendly and very helpful. My Mum was respected and treated with dignity at all times. Both staff and management answered all our queries, went out their way to help either my Mum or family. When my mum passed away in the care home,
staff and management were very sympathetic. Overall, my family and I would like to say a big thank you, for giving our mum quality of life and treating her with great respect. Thanks again.

The home is very nice and well presented. The staff are more than excellent and very helpful. The position of the site is all so excellent, being on the high street, perfect for taking out and having a snack. Not to say that there is anything wrong with the food at Claremont.
All in all, we would
recommend the Claremont home to anybody.

When I arrive I'm greeted to go to the lounge and then given a cup of tea and biscuits. I am given a choice of food for lunch.
Activities are great fun, bingo, singing, play cards and the general conversation with other people.
The staff are excellent. Anything you want they'll provide nothing is
too much bother. They keep a watchful eye on you.
I started going to Claremont in December 2017 and as part of my two days, I enjoy a bath which has made me feel great. I am shaved, hair washed and body washed and made to feel really clean.
Claremont is brilliant.

A caring and compassionate team who have made a significant difference to my Dad's ability to function and feel like a person again. You are a person and made to feel really welcome. The warmth they show to new 'guests' makes a difference when you are not familiar with the surroundings and new people.
As a day visitor, the facilities are great with lots of activities, conversation and new people to get to know, especially when you live on your own. Living some distance from the Claremont, but with the responsibility of my dad, the team do an excellent job in keeping an eye on dad and letting me know when he has appeared with bumps and bruises. One to consider if you have ageing parents who need support.

All the reservations and fears that I had with regards to admitting my husband to a nursing home, were completely unfounded. This was due to the excellent and personal care levels, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the responsive and true listening skills of all the staff. I felt truly treated
as a human being with emotions and practical issues which were sincerely addressed and recognised. Besides the care of my sick husband, I felt truly cared for!

Dear Manager and all staff members.


I would like to thank you all for the expert and professional care you have shown my father over the last two years, the dedication from all the staff has been exceptional.
As you are aware my father was a little confused of his surrounding on arrival and took

a couple of weeks to settle, he was made comfortable and treated as a member of a large family. He soon took to the warmth of the staff and settled in nicely, they were on hand night and day to ensure his safety and care was attended too.


He soon started to refer to the staff as his friends and soon enjoyed long conversations and the daily banter with them all. Most importantly he was kept busy with many activities.


Finally, when the inevitable happened and he was taken from us, the dedication of the staff was again clearly visible as seven members of the staff took their own time out to attend his funeral, a dedication second to none.


Thank you, The Claremont, you did him proud.

My dad took up residence at the Claremont Nursing Home in April 2015 as he was suffering from vascular dementia and through his steady decline, he was taken care of with dignity and affection even as dementia took hold and Dad's moods changed he was treated the same. I was very touched with how the
staff reacted to his passing two years later.

First impressions were very favourable; they proved to be correct. Friendly, helpful staff, kind and attentive to residents. Detailed attention to any nursing requirements. Visitors encouraged to make themselves at home. Relatives are encouraged to air their views and to draw attention to anything
which they are not entirely satisfied with. Anything I have spoken about has been promptly acted upon. On the downside, there is a certain "shabbiness" in certain areas, mostly towels and bedside tables. The gardens and grounds are nice but uninspiring! The layout of the building is good. Teatime menu very limited.

Our mum spent the last couple of weeks of her life at Claremont House and the care and attention she received could have not been better.
The compassion and care show by all the staff to both my mother, my brother and myself far exceeded our hopes.
We would have loved to have kept mum in her home
until the end, but the time came when we were not able to provide the care she needed. Claremont did that beautifully and in doing so, they not only made mum as comfortable as she could be, but provided us with much needed peace of mind. They look after not just the resident, but the whole family and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Although my cousin was not a resident for a long period, she was treated in a warm, welcoming, and caring manner by every staff member. It made what could have been a very uncomfortable time remarkably peaceful. We can think of no way that the service could have been improved.

My Mother was a resident from June 2014 to the end of September 2015.
Initially she came just for temporary respite care but very soon wanted to be a permanent resident.
She had not been used to living in a Community, so we were pleasantly surprised how quickly she adapted to her new surroundings.
It
is our belief that the quality of care and the positive atmosphere within the home made her integration so successful. I visited regularly and was very impressed with the wonderful care that she received. I was most impressed with the attitude of all of the staff and found their commitment and positivity very refreshing.
The alternative for my Mother had been to return to a large bungalow and live on her own. We know that being at Claremont extended the good quality of her life and I would have no hesitation in recommending Claremont House to anybody. I firmly believe that this is without doubt the best Care home in the area.

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.
