From the moment Cleves called to say there was a room for Dad to the moment Dad passed away at Cleves, we were all made to feel like Dad was 'home from home'. The care he received throughout and the 'care' we as a family received was exemplary. Cleves became another family, and we miss them. The way
they looked after us in Dad's final hours was heartwarming, and we are full of gratitude & admiration. x

From the moment we walked into Cleves Place Care Home we had a feeling of how calm the place felt. You are greeted by clean well presented smiley staff, the place is lovely and clean and smells really fresh. The rooms are all very well presented, the residents all look happy, clean and well cared for.
All the staff were so kind and helpful. They have a really good menu and the food looked really nice. My husbands clothes are all washed and ironed and are all put back into his room neat and tidy. The manager and staff keep us informed about my husband at all times and we are really happy with how the place is run.

Cleves Place Care Home is a very warm welcoming care home, supporting and deep meaningful care provided for our dear Dad. He has been through a lot of changes with his health deteriorating over the years with our Mum being the carer for him. He has settled in very well as he has a lovely room looking
out to the garden which he always loved at home. When we visit, the staff are a delight and are very reassuring knowing he is happy with the care.

A happy and relaxed place with friendly and helpful staff. An environment of kindness and care reflected in the well-being of the residents. Always a warm welcome, a smile and a willingness to help. A real comfort knowing that my parents are safe, warm, well fed and looked after in their twilight time
of life. They can do as much or as little as they desire to do. Always a quiet place, a walk in the garden or a group activity to join in with.

Cleves Place is the most caring place. Staff and management so caring. My son needs a lot of care and sometimes can be quite aggressive but they handle it with a smile. Wonderful staff is what they are. Without Cleve, me, my husband and family would not know how we would cope. Thanks again to Cleves.

My mum was admitted for respite care. As a family, we were made welcome from the point of entering the home. Management team met us, made us feel at ease, encouraged us to ask questions. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. The care staff were beyond amazing. My Mum was treated like a queen, she thoroughly
enjoyed her stay.

Your home is relatively comfortable and welcoming as are your gardens. On the whole, my 3-week stay was extremely disappointing.
Agency nursing care was appalling - the permanent nursing staff was very good and even nursing assistants, cleaners, and activity staff. Having to request toilet rolls,
fresh water, flannels, and even my medication is totally unacceptable.
Activities and food and drink ratings due to my cognitive condition.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Cleves Place

Whilst we appreciate your comments surrounding the facilities at Cleves Place, we are surprised and saddened to hear that you feel your experience was disappointing. Upon admission, residents' medication is logged as per prescriber's instruction, and is administered in accordance with this. Where a resident's preference around medication changes, we work with prescribers to accommodate this wherever possible and safe to do so. We have a steadfast team of permanent domestics and carers on the suite in which you stayed, who work hard to ensure residents are well cared for and their needs met. We can only apologise that you feel let down by your experience with us.

This was without a doubt a fantastic home for Mum. She was only there for a couple of months before she passed on. The level of care she received at Diamond Ward was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. All the carers were attentive and loving to Mum's needs. There was always a hug when things got
tough.
Cannot rate this home and all its carers highly enough.

My mother has been a resident of Cleves Place care home in Haverhill for four weeks now, and I have found the staff and management to be second to none. Nothing is too much trouble as far as caring for their residents. The surroundings are very clean and comfortable, with plenty of entertainment and
activities.

Mum seems really happy, having good and bad days. She has made friends and enjoys the activities. Sometimes she does not enjoy the food but we know she can have what she wants, she just has to ask. In general, I feel that she is generally happy considering her age.

The home is outstanding! My mother is extremely well cared for and cared about. Even though at times she can be challenging. The staff are endlessly kind and patient and funny and always professional. This comes from the example set by the management. Nothing is too much, never are they too busy. We

My husband had a major stroke in March 2022, after hospital and rehab he was still paralyzed on one side, so was unable to return home. I visited several care homes before Cleves Place, and having seen around Cleves I never considered anywhere else.
I felt Cleves Place was outstanding, with its full
bathroom facilities for each bedroom, variety of areas for residents to spend their days - coffee shop, lounge, dining room etc, and most importantly a nicely kept garden area with a reasonable length of the path to walk or push a wheelchair, and separate external sitting areas.
Over the months that he has been at Cleves, my husband has clearly improved. He spends time in the coffee shop and comments to me how everyone who passes greets him by name, not just the people who have direct responsibility for him on Diamond.
Naturally, he would prefer to be fit, well and at home. Sadly he isn't and in the circumstances, I feel that his care at Cleves is everything that I hoped it would be.

My 93-year-old mother had to go into urgent respite care, which was a hard decision to make, but from the initial contact with Cleves Place from management to staff I knew this was the place for her and after excellent advice from the manager we took Mum to look around, she was made so welcome from
the moment we arrived. In fact, so welcome Mum has decided she wants to stay permanently. The care she has been given by the staff is excellent, and the home itself offers everything to cater for Mum's needs.
It is difficult when you have to decide that a person needs more care than you can give them and after promising that you would keep them in their own home for as long as you could, finding a home that you trust to do this can be hard but in Cleves Place, we have found this. In my mother's words, she feels safe and looked after by staff that care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Cleves Place 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.713 for Cleves Place is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.713

  • 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 Cleves Place is based on 14 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 14 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2015

I joined Cleves Place in 2015 as I liked Care UK’s vision and values. The home has a great family atmosphere and we have a fantastic team here who work really well together to deliver the best care and experience for residents.


I love being able to make a difference in a resident’s life. If I can complete my shift knowing a resident has smiled and is happy I feel I have achieved my goal. I also enjoy empowering colleagues to do their best work.


I’ve been working in the care sector for over twenty years and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with new colleagues and watching them grow in confidence in their role.


I also like to keep learning and developing my own skills. One of my biggest professional challenges has been completing my Level 5 Diploma in Management. I’ve also had an article published in a palliative care publication.
