Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find the carers and management very approachable and friendly, they keep me informed at all times. The food is excellent and the residents are well fed. The rooms, lounges and corridors are kept clean and smell free. The gardens are a treat for the residents and visitors, they are well used in the
good weather.


All in all, this home is well-run.

Review from Steve H (Nephew of Resident) published on 3 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On my second visit, when I was unfamiliar with the layout of the home, my aunt desperately needed the toilet. There were no staff around and I struggled to find the toilet for her.
She could not remember where the toilet was (she has dementia) and it would have been very helpful to have signs on the
walls indicating the way to the toilet.

Quite happy with service and feel I can openly comment whenever we have an issue - however small. A more personalised menu (per resident) and options available.

Review from J G (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It broke my heart to have to put my mum into a care home.
So glad I chose Claremont Care Home as all staff are excellent with my mum.
She is looked after very well.
If I have any issues I take them to the unit manager and they are always addressed.
I know my mum is safe and taken care of 24 hours
a day.
Staff appear to be well trained for my mum's condition (dementia).
My mum has a problem with eating but the staff are willing to try anything to get mum to eat.
All staff deserve praise, from kitchen staff to maintenance, they are all fabulous.

My mum has been in the care of the staff at Claremont for a year now and she has settled in very well. The staff have all been very good with mum, myself and my brothers. We are welcome anytime. Activities are difficult for mum as her mobility is bad, but she does enjoy a singalong.

Due to my Grandfather only being a new resident I can't comment on a lot of details as unknown or unsure.
Grandfather seems happy and settled anyway.

The experience so far has been satisfactory and my mum has settled in quite well. However, a wider choice of food would be appreciated.
My mum really enjoys all forms of activities and it would be really helpful if this could be more prevalent and suited to purpose.

Staff appear open and mum seems happy with service.
Provide more details of what mum has done or been offered on a day to day basis- a log book at the door to her room might be an idea. This could record staff involvement, any activities undertaken or offered, meal time, food taken.

My relative has been there for a few weeks which I have visited on several occasions. Myself, partner and a close friend chose this care home and have not been disappointed. The staff, overall facilities are excellent. I actually live in Essex but am in Ayr on regular visits. In between, the lady in
charge phones me regularly to inform me of his well being which I very much appreciate.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.136)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.136) out of 10 for Claremont Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.511 for Claremont Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.511
  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 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Claremont Care Home is based on 10 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 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
    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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.625
  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.
