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.

I have noticed that some of my mother's clothing has gone missing and another personal item. Also, leg injury. None of which has a suitable explanation. For the money charged this is unacceptable.

Thank you for reviewing our home and for your feedback. Viv is very sorry to hear about the above as she has not previously been informed about it by yourself - when you're next in the home, please do pop in to see her, as she is keen to discuss these matters. Best wishes, Fae.
Good rapport with staff, very caring. Always comes home 'bright-eyed and bushy-tailed' as the saying goes. Is much better for his daycare visits.

My wife has been a resident for just over 2 years and all aspects of her care have been first class. The home is very clean and is kept as such by the appropriate staff. The carers are extremely attentive towards my wife and the nursing staff administer medication efficiently.

Fantastic. Everyone works so hard to provide the best possible care. Staff are brilliant in all areas. Everyone is up against it at all times, that's life. But, I know how hard everyone puts their best foot forward. I would recommend Caton House for sure.

Today the staff and friends of Caton House hosted a Mother's Day afternoon tea it was lovely. Mum has been here for just over 6 months now and looking forward to being able to use the garden facilities during the summer months.

My mother is happy at the home and likes the food. Always seem to be doing something when I visit. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Have not yet met the new manager but previous manager great.

My aunt only moved to Caton House 2 weeks ago, yet the way the staff treat her is remarkable. All of your staff without exception are a credit to your organisation and seeing my aunt settle in so easily is a great relief to her family.

The variation in the menu is commendable and again to see her eating so well is also a great relief. I also like the way she is up and active whenever we visit, in particular, the service she attended on Good Friday was excellent.
One minor suggestion is that events for the week are emailed to the family as some are remote from Bletchley.
Excellent pre care home visit.
Would recommend to anyone who's relative has severe health issues. Will not hesitate in using Caton House again.

They consistently involve her in activities and where possible allow her to make decisions. The overall quality of care is impressive - especially as my mother is unpredictable and can be aggressive. They are welcoming, friendly and helpful to me. The minor frustrations are inevitable but I cannot praise them enough.
I was always concerned about leaving my wife in any daycare but they have made the daycare absolutely superb. In the end it's all about the people...and with the staff you never have to worry. They are both fantastic carers.

My neighbour of 41 years had become unable to stay in his home. Even with our limited care. I was so lucky to ring on his behalf and find a room had become available which I viewed and he moved in on the 9th July 2015. It is a complete success, the staff, all of them including the manager are...
My neighbour of 41 years had become unable to stay in his home. Even with our limited care. I was so lucky to ring on his behalf and find a room had become available which I viewed and he moved in on the 9th July 2015. It is a complete success, the staff, all of them including the manager are wonderful, the food is first class and we couldn't have asked for more.

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.
