Claridge Place is an absolute fabulous care home. All the staff are amazing with the residents and have created a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. As the manager previously looked after my father, I knew who to call when my mom needed care. There are so many excellent staff, and I’m looking forward to
getting to know all the other amazing staff. Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcome every time we come to see Mum.

Review from Alison P (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 1 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lives at Claridge Place Care Home and has always been happy there. The environment is beautiful and very warm and spacious.
My mother has her own room which is lovely and always kept clean and tidy.
The manager of the home has recently changed and my mother is over the moon with the new
manager and she has told me 'he pops in every morning to wish me a good morning and he pops in throughout the day to see if I am alright'. This is so lovely to hear as this did not happen previously.
I have visited the home today to see my mother and the home feels very different. The residents are all happy with the things that the new manager has put in place already and I believe he has only been there for one week.
I always speak to the staff when I visit and they have also said that the new manager is already supporting them and listening which is great. The staff have been unhappy over recent months but this seems to be changing now which is great - well done to the new manager!

My mother stayed for two weeks respite and I cannot fault Claridge Place Care Home, the decor and facilities are that of a cruise ship but more importantly, the staff were so genuine and made my mom's stay so happy and I had every confidence that she was safe and cared for whilst me and my husband had
our own break away.
Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my beautiful mom.

My mother moved into Claridge Place 4 weeks ago. I am extremely impressed with everything about this amazing care home. The rooms are beautiful, the staff are wonderful and they care for my mum so well. She did not want to leave her own home (but was unable to manage on her own) but is very happy here.
We are so pleased that she has settled in here so quickly and feel very fortunate that we have been able to get her in here. I have nothing but praise for everything about Claridge Place.

The care cannot be faulted, the staff are amazing, very committed and understanding of my Mum's needs, especially as she is partially sighted and very hard of hearing. I would highly recommend Claridge Place to anyone who has any doubts about a care home for their elderly loved ones.

Would like to thank all the staff at Claridge Place for the wonderful care they gave my aunt, my cousin and I were welcomed to spend the last 24 hours of her life with her and got to see the wonderful care that was given not only to her but also to us. She had been in and out of hospital for 3 weeks
but was allowed back to the home knowing she only had hours left and got the best possible treatment one could wish for, so once again a big thank you for looking after us at this sad time.

Review from M C (Wife of Resident) published on 10 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My husband has been at this home for a while and unfortunately, as time went on the care standards started to decline. Not having a shower, not having a shave, personal care not been done in the mornings, skin breaking down. Even though there are only a few residents in there, things are not well. A
lot of the residents are bored, nothing to do, not encouraged to come out of their rooms. Had to go in to do my husband's personal care morning and night as I put a camera in and found my husband was not being looked after correctly. It’s a beautiful home but care comes first before chandeliers and furnishings. It is not run like a care home. I think this home definitely needs a CQC visit as soon as possible. Things were reported in the early days but nothing was done. I would not recommend this home. I have now had to put my husband in emergency respite care until the new home that we have found, which has a fantastic reputation is open on the 1st of June. I hope people take notice of this information.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Claridge Place is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.926 for Claridge Place is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.926
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Claridge Place is based on 25 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
