Claremont Court Care Home Recognised for Exceptional Dementia Care
Claremont Court Care Home, located in Harts Gardens, has been awarded the title of Best Specialist Care. This prestigious recognition highlights the home’s exceptional dedication to specialist dementia care and its holistic, compassionate approach. The facility is designed exclusively for individuals living with advanced and complex dementia, offering a range of services including residential, nursing, respite, and end-of-life care.
With 57 ensuite bedrooms, the care home provides a comfortable and supportive environment for its residents. The team at Claremont Court is committed to enriching the lives of those who reside there, ensuring that every individual receives personalized attention and care.
“We believe that life doesn’t stop with a dementia diagnosis,” said Karen Byres, the care home manager. “This award is a testament to our exceptional team, whose passion and commitment shine through every day. From Namaste Care to the latest dementia technology, everything we do is rooted in enabling our residents to live with purpose, dignity, and joy.”
The home has consistently received high praise for its quality of care. It holds a Platinum accreditation with the Gold Standards Framework for end-of-life care, was awarded the Dementia Care Award at the Great British Care Awards in 2023, and was named Nursing Home of the Year at the Surrey Care Awards in 2024.
One family member shared their experience: “It’s the most wonderful and caring home for residents with dementia. The manager and her team are the best you could possibly wish for! I am so very happy to have found this fabulous home for my mum—it’s a difficult condition to face, but here, there is real love and comfort.”
Another resident’s daughter added: “Every member of the team displays an almost limitless well of positivity, patience and perseverance. The positive atmosphere and excellent functioning of the home speak volumes about the incredible leadership and teamwork at Claremont Court.”
Claremont Court offers a variety of engaging activities and interactive spaces to enhance the well-being of its residents.

The home also runs a ‘make a wish’ initiative to help residents achieve their dreams and ambitions.
“At the heart of our success is a commitment to innovation and individualised care,” said Karen Byres. “From our Namaste Care sessions designed to stimulate all five senses, to using digital therapeutic tools to enhance emotional engagement, Claremont Court is transforming the way dementia care is delivered.”
Karen expressed her pride in the team’s efforts: “I am so proud of the whole team for their hard work and dedication. We are delighted to have brought home the award at such a prestigious ceremony.” The recognition reflects the ongoing commitment of the staff and management to providing the highest standard of care for individuals living with dementia.
