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.

Dad cannot eat, he is fed by a PEG. But he has water and an occasional yoghurt for pleasure, which was all approved by a hospital’s nutritionist first.
It was all quite a shock for Dad and us for him to suddenly be in a home.
It took Dad a few weeks to get used to being there but with the help and kindness of the staff he is now settled in and feeling much safer. The staff are friendly and patient. I have asked Dad and he has said they are lovely to him.
There are activities most days which they help Dad to join in with.
No one wants to end up in a home but this seems like a good one.
Staff are interested in his whole life and who he was, not just the elderly resident he is now.

Staff are interested in his whole life and who he was, not just the elderly resident he is now.
Staff work in partnership with our family to ensure a joined-up personal approach to Dad’s daily care needs.
The care home manager always makes time to listen to our family and responds quickly to any queries.
I would highly recommend Caton House and the quality of care they provide.

Her clothes are well looked after and efficiently washed and returned and the food seems to be very good when I see the menu and trolley go past!
I was very happy that the staff treated us with dignity. The rooms and building where very clean, tidy and the person I visited looked well cared for.

My experience of Caton House Residential and Nursing Home has been overwhelmingly positive. When I visit, I am greeted in a friendly manner, by every member of staff I come across. The nursing and care staff have been brilliant with my mother-in-law, who has some very challenging behaviours. I find communicating with the home very easy: they're extremely responsive to emails and phone calls and very reassuring at all times. We are kept informed of any issues immediately. Although my mother-in-law doesn't take part in activities. I have the greatest respect for the activities team, who I have seen in action, and who are wonderfully empathetic and do their very best to engage all residents at all levels.
I have always found all of the staff to be caring and responsive and believe his nursing care is of a good standard. The atmosphere of the home is calm and homely, so I highly recommend it to any relative looking for a placement for their loved one.

My wife was hospitalised in April 2022 and a delayed discharge plan eventually permitted her to be released to Caton House Residential and Nursing Home. The manager greatly assisted the process. She remained at Caton from 05/05/2022 - 01/06/20222 where she received good care and consideration. She moved to another care home but in no way was this a comment on Caton. I would have no hesitation in recommending Caton and would be happy to return if necessary.

Before Mum's respite at Caton House, she was not eating or drinking properly and was losing weight. She was emotionally distressed and isolated, despite phone calls and visits from family. She thrived during her respite - she put on weight and enjoyed all the activities and socialising.
Overall, I wanted to give 4 1/2 stars, but the website wouldn't let me, so I had to give 4, which isn't a true reflection.

Keep up the amazing job you are doing.

The staff I have met seem to be committed to their work and I believe do a great job. This has been especially evident during the Covid pandemic. The home is well equipped and the rooms are clean and comfortable.
The not so good points are few but include:Food - my mother cannot eat ordinary food due to problems swallowing and so all her food is delivered having been blended. The problem which I have highlighted before is that the food is not properly blended and therefore often arrives with lumps of food. This detracts from the whole reason for having the food blended in the first place.
Senior manager turnover - since my mother has been in Caton House, there has now been 2 senior managers. Both have been excellent but every change brings uncertainty to the situation for the future. I believe the company should investigate what the underlying cause is of such significant staff turnover?
My experience with Caton House has been very positive. All the staff are incredibly kind to my mother and to me, they have always been extremely professional. At this extremely difficult time, I am so relieved that my frail mother has managed to move into Caton House and I will always be grateful...

At this extremely difficult time, I am so relieved that my frail mother has managed to move into Caton House and I will always be grateful for the care she receives there. Thank you very much.
Life during the pandemic is challenging enough but care homes have been under huge pressures. Caton House management and staff have managed incredibly well and should be congratulated. I am very grateful for all the care they showed the residents. Everyone works as a team very effectively.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words - the team will really appreciate it.
It may not be the newest, it may not be the fanciest, but the staff at Caton House, from odd job man to chef, to carers, uniformly care and even love their residents. Getting old and losing your mental capacity is scary. This can't be prevented. However, the staff do their best to be reassuring...

Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your such heart-warming comments about our team. Best wishes, Fae.
My mum has always been happy at Caton House. She tells me everyone is kind and the food is good. Her condition has deteriorated since March due to COVID. I hope she improves as restricted visiting is lifted and we can take her out.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home; it truly has been a difficult time for everyone. I will be sure to pass your feedback onto Viv and the team. Best wishes, Fae.
The staff all seem to be very caring and I feel confident that Mum is being looked after properly.

Extremely good care of my mother in these extreme times. Such kindness as my mother had only just settled into Caton House permanently. Mobility was an issue which was quickly sorted helping her to settle in bed for a night. It was lovely to have care to always rely on as it was no longer possible in her own home.
Thank you for your kind words about our home. It is lovely to hear that mum is settling in well with us and that you now have peace of mind with her in our permanent care. Best wishes.

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.
