Review from L K (Friend of Resident) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My long standing friend of over 40 years has been a resident at Clarendon Lodge for 6 months now, from her first visit to view Clarendon Lodge to when she first became a resident all the staff, irrespective of their role at the care home have been welcoming, respond openly to her and have quickly
got to understand her needs, likes and dislikes.
Since being a resident my friend's health and wellbeing have improved. Communications between staff seems very good and any concerns are quickly reported to the senior care staff and discussed with the local GP surgery staff who visit on a weekly basis. There is a daily menu for lunch and supper so residents can choose what they would like to eat, consideration is given to vegetarian and vegan meals, and omelettes are always an alternative.
Clarendon Lodge is homely, and spotlessly clean. The lobby has coffee and tea making facilities for residents and visitors with the addition of excellent freshly made cake freely available.

We are very happy with the care my mother in law is receiving at Clarendon Lodge. All the staff are fantastic from the carers, managers, reception and cleaners to catering. All going the extra mile and having a chat while they do it. What is really lovely is that it is the same, permanent, staff working
there so they get to know the residents well. Any problems, like illness etc is dealt with promptly and professionally, residents being reviewed by the GP when needed and also a weekly visit from GP staff to review anyone requiring this. It is clean, warm and welcoming and a pleasure to visit.

My partner has been resident in Clarendon Lodge for 3 months and has settled in well and has been in good health since his arrival.
The staff are attentive, the property is very clean and well designed for wheelchair-bound residents.
Walking through the door, I was very impressed with the communal
areas and the courtyard garden.
There are regular social events which residents and their visitors are encouraged to join in with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I got a great feel of Clarendon Lodge before Mum became a resident. Warm, friendly, clean, modern, and above all else, safe. The food's decent, the care is second to none, and for the first time in a long time, I know my mum's in the best place, and therefore, sleep better because of that.
All involved
go the extra mile, and I'd thoroughly recommend Clarendon Lodge to anyone.

Review from Glyn F (Son of Resident) published on 23 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Clarendon Lodge is excellent. We arranged to view the home when my mother was in hospital because we were concerned that she could no longer safely look after herself at home. From day one we have been impressed. They acted really quickly, meeting Mum while she was still in hospital and then having
a lovely room ready for her on discharge. The home is modern, spotlessly clean and very well maintained. The staff are wonderful, are clearly well trained and really care, going above and beyond to help Mum settle and meet her needs and that is all the staff - managers, carers, activities, reception, kitchen, laundry, maintenance and cleaning. Mum has been there two months now and, honestly, the staff just seem like good friends. Visiting is 24/7 and so I can call in and spend quality time without all of the worries when she was in her own house. It is really comforting to know that a representative from the GP surgery visits every week and all mum's care needs are taken care of.
Reply from Louise Keegan, Home Manager at Clarendon Lodge
Thank you for the lovely review. I will share this with the team. Mum is settling in well and its been a pleasure getting to know you both.

Review from P S (Husband of Resident) published on 17 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife had been suffering with advanced Alzheimer's and although reasonably physically fit, she had been struggling with communication and self-care at home. Also, she had been wandering around aimlessly both inside and outside our home and was at risk of serious harm to herself. This meant that she
needed round-the-clock personal care and supervision.
I tried to cope but was unable to and after many discussions with family members, social workers, and other care professionals we decided that the only course of action was to place my wife into a care home. As we live in Croxley, a most convenient one we considered was Clarendon Lodge. I recently arranged to meet a rep there who took me and one of my sons on a tour of the property and we came away very impressed. Only recently built, it has modern facilities all at ground level with each room opening out to a safely accessed garden patio.
There are daily activities and all meals are cooked with fresh ingredients.
Highly recommended.

Clarendon Lodge went above and beyond to make my nans birthday special. They not only decorated her room, they surprised her with songs, a cake and a present. It was overwhelming to see the effort they put in to make sure our loved one was celebrated, as they should be, on their special day. Makes me
feel better the residents are being looked after as if they were family by the staff. Providing comfort in an already difficult time.
Reply from Louise Keegan, Home Manager at Clarendon Lodge
Thank you for the lovely review, I'm glad Nan was made to feel special by the staff team. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon celebrating her birthday.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my friend, who has dementia, since she went to Clarendon Lodge Care Home in May 2021. She spent much of the last year in bed. Now a new "acting manager" has been appointed and together with the "weekday receptionist" she is sitting in a wonderful chair in the "dementia lounge".
Thanks to these two wonderful people the home is alive and buzzing. All the staff are very kind and gentle to my friend. I really hope that these two staff are here for a very long time. I haven't completed the second half of the ratings because I have no knowledge of them.

Since there has been an interim manager I can see a real improvement. My mum has been stuck in her bed in her room for a year and, since the interim manager has been there, they have got my mum a special chair so she now goes in the lounge every day. Also, a shout out to the receptionist who is an absolute
delight.
Depends on who - staff are mostly very good. Agency staff unsure.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother stayed at Clarendon Lodge for 8 weeks respite. The immediate improvement in her physical and mental state was obvious.
The facilities are excellent, beyond comparison, and the staff are all so helpful, caring and attentive. The food has been a treat, hotel quality from the meals I have seen.
The outlook onto the garden from the rooms is uplifting.
I couldn't recommend this facility enough, and wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

My sister has been a resident in the home for six-seven weeks.
She had a very bad time at her last home and after a terrible misunderstanding was asked to leave. The manager and all the other staff have been incredibly understanding, gentle, kind, respectful and encouraging. She has been diagnosed
as living with dementia now but she is cleaner, healthier and happier.

I have been extremely impressed by the commitment to care at Clarendon Lodge! The residents seem happy and confident, and I believe this is due to the kindness and efficiency of the staff. My sister arrived at Clarendon Lodge confused and lost! She has definitely improved in spite of obvious signs of
dementia. As a visitor, I am always treated in a polite manner. This is an outstanding care home, which I highly recommend!

My mother has been in Clarendon Lodge Care Home for a two-week respite care. Came home, had a fall and asked to go back. She has been at the home for the past five weeks. Staff are excellent, caring and attentive to Mum's needs. A lot of dementia patients which can cause Mum concern coming in her room
etc. People do not talk to her much so she feels a bit lonely at times. Having a problem with getting a phone installed which will help her to settle better.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.574)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.574) out of 10 for Clarendon Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.774 for Clarendon Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.774
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clarendon Lodge is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
