Reviews for Claremont Parkway Care Home

"Mum and I had a very enjoyable lunch with Dad today to celebrate Father’s Day. The staff were most attentive to all of the residents’ needs and the food was delicious. After such a difficult year, a huge thank you to all the staff who helped to make this event possible."

"I have found all staff, who have worked with me in any way, to be kind, encouraging and willing to 'go the extra mile'. I have gained some weight, which had been lost during the early stage of my illness, and I believe that has happened because of the good variety, quality and presentation of food provided. From entering Claremont unable to walk and seriously dependent, I have become almost fully capable of caring for my personal care. While I still need a wheelchair for distance mobility, I am now able to walk using a zimmer frame confidently. I am very grateful."

"Claremont is excellent in all areas, nothing was too much trouble. ALL members of staff are extremely kind and understanding. A special thanks must go to the activities ladies, made every day fantastic, also the cook who enabled me to put on a stone with his cooking!"

"I was grateful I was not forced to go downstairs - depressed me when I did go down whilst sing song on, didn't feel I was ready for the environment. Happy in my room - kindle, TV. Exercise by myself frequently."

"Unlucky for me I was rushed to the local hospital in April without any money etc. I was then transferred to Claremont. Having no money, my hair could not be seen to and my overgrown toe-nails were not cut. In the end, my toes hurt so much, I had to walk about in socks. The weather turned warm; my only having warm clothing, I went about in the nightdress, loaned to me. A kind staff member found a small air-cooler for my room. When I asked for a loan, I was told it's policy for Claremont to always pay the hairdresser and nail cutter. Finally, a friend saw me the day before I was leaving. It was bad luck for me not to have any money or change of clothing. My hope is, no one else goes through what I did. If only I could have had a loan, instead I went home with unwashed hair, worst of all toenails that hurt. Room was nice, so were the staff."

"The facilities were good, the only problem my mother had was staff were very loud on handover (desk not far from mum's room). She said that as she was trying to fall asleep in the evening they would gather and end up waking her (she is not deaf). We family members experienced this on 2 occasions as she could not hear us speaking above the noise. Some staff don't speak clearly and also very fast. They think clear means loud, which it doesn't."

"I assume I was a 'service user' having spent 2 weeks (post-operative) gaining strength before returning home on 30th May 2018. I was well cared for, even though I found the food disappointingly dull. The morning activities (fun-physio) were always enjoyable, so was the company in the dining area."

"I would like to say my stay at Claremont and the care etc, was absolutely 100 and a half per cent. and told the lady in charge on my day of leaving. The staff cannot make a decent English cup of Rosie Lea (tea) if they tried, ha ha!"

"I was resident in Claremont Parkway for 30 days after discharge from hospital with fractured distal radius and pubic ramus. I cannot speak too highly of the care and convalescent service I received during my residence. The individual attention I was given and the teamwork by the nursing, catering, domestic and activities staff were outstanding. My rapidly improving condition was due entirely to the staff's work and encouragement."

"I would like to say how much the staff and all went out of their way and beyond to take care of us. It is, without doubt, the most wonderful treatment I could have received and if I should have to come again, Claremont is my one and only choice. God Bless you for the great work you do. Thank you."

"The staff are really exceptional and they are so compassionate and caring; they provided a truly exceptional end of life care for my Dad. They treated everyone with the utmost respect and no matter how busy they were they were always friendly and smiling and supportive. Our family could not have wished for a better environment for the final month of my Dads life. Thank you to all at the Claremont Parkway for everything you did, myself and my family cannot thank you enough."

"Found it pleasant once I settled down, plenty to see out of the window also the room was more than satisfactory. Food was excellent and a lot of variety, better than the hospital. The carers were caring a with TV in the room, it was an extra perk. Activities ladies made sure my nails were cut. Very lovely place."

"I have been delighted by the quality of care offered to my father since his admission to Claremont Parkway in late November 2018. His carers have all demonstrated a very high degree of empathy and appear to go the extra mile to help him. There is a very good food service with a wide variety of quality meals created by the in-house chef. I suppose the strongest endorsement I can give, is that after each visit when we head home to Lincolnshire, we are confident that we are leaving Dad in safe, caring hands."

"My brother had a pleasant room with a nice outlook and well equipped with TV etc in a quiet part of the home. Staff were attentive and kind and responded well to any requests I had. They maintained a cheerful, upbeat outlook which can't be easy in the circumstances. In summary, very pleased with the care."

"We visited our nan on the day of the 1970 Disco/BBQ. The event was very well organised with food, music and a raffle. All the residents were in the garden area and enjoying the music. The staff were very pleasant and the day went off very well. There also is activities for the residents each month which is really good."

Philip C

"On entering Claremont, its warm and inviting. There is not that smell of a care home. All the staff have a lovely smile for you and assist you in any way they can. The whole house and garden are kept to a high standard of cleanliness with some of the residence playing dominos in the lounge. My father was only with them for a few weeks but they made his last weeks special. When Dad was struggling to sleep, his friend next door came in and played his accordion to help him settle and sleep. We couldn't ask for more."

"My first impression of Claremont was welcoming, clean and bright. I knew immediately it was a good place for my beloved Mum who had stomach cancer. During her time at Claremont before she sadly passed away, I found the staff to be wonderful and caring and felt me and my family were as much a priority as Mum. In the short time she was there, a couple of months, Mum built up great relationships with her carers which also reassured us she was being well looked after. I would not hesitate in recommending Claremont Parkway."

"My stay at Barchester has been very enjoyable and most amazing and has given me a lot of confidence and prepared me for going home. With their help, has been made so easy for me. I will never forget you all. You will always be in my heart. I will always love you. All the best wishes."

"You looked after my dad until his death on 5th March 2020. He was only there for about six weeks but was cared for very well. Staff and management really helpful, and the nurses looked after him well. Thank you all very much. The family are pleased that Dad missed the Covid-19 pandemic and is now at peace."

"The care my dying mother-in-law was given was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. They even managed to deal with my very anxious father-in-law who was at times a real pest. The care here is the best in the county."

"The thing that stands out is the care, attention and support given to my husband. I see his response, which is always to smile and put his thumbs up. The feel of the home is friendly. There is always someone at hand to deal with any queries or concerns I might have. The manager always makes herself available."

"Anyone who is looking for a warm welcoming home from home residence for their loved one I would definitely recommend Claremont. My mum has been here for 4+ years and I can say I am very happy with all that has been done during this time and continues to be done. The team have done excellently during the COVID pandemic and kept my mum safe and well. Well done Team."

"My mother has been in Barchester Claremont Parkway Care Home for nearly four years and I can't praise and thank the staff enough for their excellent care. My mother is always clean and tidy and chats to the staff who know all her little ways and character. No task, however small, is too much trouble, any concerns are sorted quickly. I know my mother is safe and comfortable which is a great comfort to the rest of the family. Thank you all."

"Before choosing to send Mum to Barchester Claremont Parkway Care Home we visited a number of local alternatives and have not been disappointed with the choice we made on her behalf. Claremont Parkway is a very well-appointed care home, my mum's reaction on being shown around was very posh and that's from someone who sets her standards high. We have found the care provided to be kind, compassionate, professional and flexible. This attitude pervades the organisation and having talked privately to staff I know they feel valued and cared for. Excellent."

"My friend seems to have settled very well, hopefully, she will be taken out to get some fresh air but all the staff are very approachable and friendly. Hope she is with you for a long time and has many happy memories."

"The two areas which I feel need attention are; 1) Staff levels - the staff, especially carers, are very stretched which means residents often have very lengthy waits for attention. 2) The food - menu items are sometimes strange choices for elderly residents, with foreign/vegetarian options with which they are unfamiliar. I suspect simpler, more traditional offerings (shepherd pie, for instance) would be more popular and get eaten."

"My dad has been in your care for three months in what was an unexpected downturn in his health. His family around him have been made to feel so welcome in this time which has meant he has a constant diary of visitors. The team go the extra mile on every occasion and has not only facilitated a beautiful golden wedding party but also enabled us to have an extra special Christmas with ten of us being accommodated in beautiful surroundings with delicious food, all by a wonderfully friendly team. Thank you for everything you do and have done."

"My mother has been in Barchester Claremont Parkway Care Home for the last eighteen months. In the last four months, three of the residents, including her, formed a very close bond. The youngest of them died unexpectedly in hospital on a Friday evening. My mum and the other resident were shocked and bereft. Her death was totally unexpected. A carer in charge of activities came in on her day off without being asked to comfort them both. She was so caring and went way above the call of duty. A simply marvellous asset to Claremont."

"My wife has been a resident at Barchester Claremont Parkway Care Home since May 2024, where she was originally placed by local authorities for respite care, after release from hospital where she was treated for a serious stroke. Whilst at Claremont, she has had good care, treated with dignity, care staff look after her well. The manager has provided me with some invaluable advice over the past months."

"For me, the staff are the vital core of the care home. The upgrade in material facilities which of course have helped with the ambience of the home. I am sure the staff are more relaxed. I genuinely feel there is a comfortable empathy between residents and staff. As a visitor, I have found it easy to establish a rapport at the home. Thank you."
