At Caton House the team, many of whom have been with the home for over a decade, are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents. They provide an exceptionally high standard of care and create so many wonderful activities and experiences for their residents.
Providing residential, dementia, nursing, palliative care, the team also provide respite care breaks which can be booked in advance, ideal for carers who would like to plan a short break themselves. There is also a day centre (£27.47 for a half day/£54.94 for a full day).
The home has its own choir, with the residents pulling out all the stops for big occasions like Christmas. And musicians, singers and dancers from the local community often come and perform for the residents.
There are so many animal visits, including regular therapy dog whom the residents adore. There are also gentle exercise sessions, a knitting club, baking, games and quizzes galore.
The community are embraced into life at Caton House, from volunteers who join in with activities and spend time chatting with the residents, to local school children who treat them to sneak previews of special performances, and a local church group who do a monthly service in the home.
Every week a mobile hairdresser visits for appointments in the home’s salon, and there are regular pamper sessions, with manicures. Every week there is a sensory afternoon, with relaxing music, mood lighting and activities to stimulate the senses like hand massages.
This summer the residents have loved growing their own produce in the home’s enclosed gardens, from carrots and tomatoes to peppers and herbs. And they have proudly harvested the produce for the chef to use in the kitchen, which has given them such a sense of achievement.
In the dining room, residents enjoy delicious home-cooked cuisine, from roast dinners with all the trimmings, fish and chip Fridays and home-baking.

We are very happy with the level of care and support provided to my mum who has dementia and is bedridden. The staff at Caton house are very caring, friendly and keep us informed of any concerns.). There are plenty of activities for those who are able bodied, sadly our mum isn't one of those, but the staff include her in any celebrations as best they can. We have total faith in the staff and our minds are at rest knowing she is getting the best care at Caton house.

Throughout our Mums dementia journey the dedication staff treated Mum & us as part of the Caton family & team.
Things did not always run smoothly, thats an impossible task, but any concerns were taken seriously and we felt listened to and part of our Mums care.
There are so many excellent staff at Caton House it is impossible to name them all.
It was always hard for us to except that Mum could not be cared for at home by us, but it was not until Mums 'end of life' journey that we really understood what a comfortable home Caton was/is and just how much we appreciated the amazing staff at Caton.
The work they do is so undervalued in society, but not by us, we will be forever grateful for their dedication to good care. Thank you to a very special team of people.
Your kind words mean so much to our staff, and we truly appreciate your recognition of their dedication. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff. Flexible visiting hours. 5 star service over 5 years.

I would like to thank all the taff for the family BBQ held on Saturday 16th August. The food and drink provided was very good and plentiful. The staff were very helpful and polite. I know my mum enjoyed the event and I am sure many other residents did too.

I would like to call out one gentleman as a fantastic member of the Caton House team. We were looked after by him when we brought mum's brother to visit. I honestly feel my mother would be far less happy without his care and attention

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear that your experience was positive and that a member of our team made such a meaningful impact. We truly appreciate your feedback.
Had such a lovely lunch with my mother in law today. Her brother came to visit too, which she absolutely loved. One member of staff made the whole experience wonderful - he was so welcoming, took great care of us, and even sat down for a proper chat, which made it feel extra special.

The standards have got worse since I came here. The food has got worse. The nursing staff who are here are good but there are not enough of them. The cleaning staff have improved. Food is served on cold plates!

This review relates to the Day Centre not the Care Home. My wife has attended the Day Centre one or two times a week for over three years. Overall facilities and staff are good with room for improvement.The Day Centre struggles with attracting people to attend which is surprising in view of the lack of options locally. However the Local Authority do not tend to promote Caton House as they have there own Council run facility and this may be a factor. Caton House has recently had a new manager and there are signs of improvement so in fairness we should give them 3-6 months to see how things are then.The staff at the Day Centre are generally very friendly ,helpful and hard working.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're always working to provide a welcoming and supportive environment, and we appreciate all who take the time to share their experiences with us.
Generally, a very good experience over the last two years. Care is great and all carers are polite, efficient and attentive. Always dealing with any problems. Food is probably the only problem for long term residents. More fresh fruit and salads needed!

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad to hear your friend is well cared for and that our staff have made a positive impression. Your support means a lot to us!
Staff are friendly but facility is under staffed, particularly at night when my Mother (who had cancer that had spread to the Liver, Bowel and Pancreas) was regularly forced to wait 30 minutes+ to go to the toilet, on one occasion I had to ask three times while I was there in the evening with her,...
When she did pass in the early hours of one morning and I was called back about an hour after I left, it was very clear that the apparent friendliness and sensitivity lasted only as long as the Resident was breathing and thus earning money for the Company.
I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to get the room cleared within 24 hours or else the NHS would be presented with another bill, yes, not even 30 minutes had passed from my being shown my Mother's now lifeless body to being served that demand before promptly being shown the door.

We're truly saddened to hear that aspects of the care provided to your mother did not meet your expectations during such a difficult time. While we're glad you found our staff to be friendly, we take concerns about staffing and support very seriously. Your feedback has been shared with our senior management and care teams. We are committed to learning from this and ensuring our care continues to reflect the standards we are so proud of, with all residents and their families being treated with the dignity, respect, and compassion they deserve.
The staff at Caton House are very well-trained and caring. They do a really good job looking after the residents' health and well being. Thanks to them, I feel confident that my mother is safe and in the best environment for her.

I visited my mother on Good Friday an Easter service had been arranged for the residents. The exceedingly pleasant carer in charge handed out hot cross buns and cups of tea beforehand, and then distributed typed sheets with the readings and hymns. A pianist had come in specially for the service....
Although Mun is deaf, she sat in the room quite happily and enjoyed reading the order of service.
The carers had gone to a lot of effort and showed the usual high standards of care and compassion I have come to expect from all who work at Caton House.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased you and your mother enjoyed the Easter service. It means a lot to know our team's efforts and care made the day special. Your continued trust in Caton House is truly appreciated.

My mother's health has deteriorated recently and she has become bed-bound. I know she is receiving the care and support that she needs from the staff, and that she would not wish to be anywhere else.

My journey into the health and social care sector began after I earned a First-Class Honours degree in Art and Design from Loughborough University. Shortly afterwards, I made the decision to pause my creative career to care for my grandfather, an experience that revealed a deep passion for supporting others and ultimately shaped the direction of my professional life.
Since 2009, I have worked within the care sector, specialising in luxury care homes and holding roles such as Commissioning Home Manager and CQC Registered Home Manager. Being entrusted with these positions has given me a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to deliver exceptional standards of care, always placing residents at the heart of every decision. I have developed a strong appreciation for the responsibility, trust, and leadership required to create environments where people feel safe, valued, and truly supported.
My passion, dedication, and determination stem from a simple belief: everyone deserves to be treated with the same dignity and compassion I would expect for my own family. As Home Manager, I will be involved in every aspect of the home, overseeing safety, quality of care, and regulatory compliance while ensuring a consistently positive, person-centred approach.
Enriching the lives of others is my greatest joy, and my proudest achievement is being able to look back on my career and feel proud of the individuals I have helped. I believe it’s not the days in our lifetime that matter, but the lives we touch each day that are most important.

My main responsibilities are to create a relaxed, safe and happy environment for our residents to enjoy a full range of activities, either in large groups, small groups or on a 1-1 basis.
We do lots of singing and have regular entertainment, visitors from local schools join us, and we play bingo, do arts and crafts, yoga, darts and hoopla, to name a few!
We also celebrate our residents' birthdays, throwing big or small parties (whatever they prefer) for their families and friends to enjoy with them in the comfort of their homes.
I love helping our residents to enjoy their time here as much as they can and also to provide comfort when they need it.
