About Claremont House
Claremont House is a residential care home in Heckmondwike, Kirklees, caring for older people, including many living with dementia. Everybody who moves in arrives with a whole life behind them and fully intends to go on having one. So we ask about it. The work somebody did, the people they mind about, the routines that have shaped their days for decades, the things they are private about and the things they are proud of. We write it down, we use it, and we keep correcting it as we learn, because the notes made in the first fortnight are always the least accurate. The rest is ordinary things done consistently. Getting up when you want to rather than when a rota suggests. Meals worth turning up for. Being helped in a way that leaves your dignity where it belongs. Somebody sitting with you when the afternoon drags. For residents living with dementia it means working with the reality they are in rather than correcting it repeatedly. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round.
