Claybourne

I also love how all the members of staff know my Mum's name, including the manager who always takes the time to speak to his residents and knows them all by name.

Our Dad recently passed away after living at Claybourne for 14 months.

As a family, we were initially apprehensive about him moving into care, but we need not have worried. The care that he received was second to none. Claybourne is a community for its residents, and their families, full of warmth and love. Despite being in the later stages of dementia Dad always seemed to be content and happy to be there, and was very well cared for and involved, as much as his condition allowed, in the many activities on offer.

During his final few days, when Dad was on palliative care, the staff looked after him with the utmost compassion and tenderness, and this was extended to the family, too. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they enabled us to stay with him night and day.

Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation of the management and staff of Claybourne, and we would not hesitate to recommend the home to others.

My mother in law is living here. All staff are friendly and caring they treat her like one of their own. There is always a great selection of activities for the residents. She has thrived whilst she has been there, I can't think of a better place for her to be.

Having experienced another care home and some weeks in hospital, it has been a relief to settle my mother-in-law into her lovely room at Claybourne. The transfer itself was really encouraging as staff gave us confidence and during our visit we could feel an amazing sense of calm. We have not been disappointed. The staff smile consistently and nothing is too much for them. M-I-L is always dressed well with hair tended to. There is real sense of putting the residents wishes first and a wide variety of activities available, three or more each day! The choice of food at the table is excellent and staff eat with residents meaning relationships are formed and residents encouraged to eat. The airy light building, and gardens which surround, give residents plenty of space and there is no feeling of being trapped. M-in-Law's birthday was only a couple of weeks after arrival and she was already becoming settled despite being unsettled elsewhere. M-in-L has had times when anxious but these have been managed really well. We, the family, feel wonderfully looked after too. Thank you Team Claybourne.

Everybody is brilliant and care really well for my mum. My mum is so happy here and comfortable. The staff really are helpful.

Our Aunt moved into Claybourne care home last month. After visiting other local homes we realised straight away that this was the place where our aunt would be well cared for. We haven't been disappointed. All the staff are approachable, friendly & most importantly, caring. Our aunt hasn't found it easy to settle into her new home but everyone is so supportive and kind that she is slowly accepting her new surroundings. The home is well laid out and maintained, with residents in each corridor having their own little community but the freedom to visit all parts of the building, as well as the gardens. There are a lot of activities, from music therapy, art and craft, quizzes and lots more and family and friends are always welcome to take part too. It is never an easy decision to put your loved ones into a care home but when you find somewhere as good as Claybourne, you know that you have made the right decision.

My Mum has been a resident of Claybourne since February 2025. I am bowled over each and every day I visit her with the standard of care, love and respect that all of the staff show to all of the residents. Within a very short time all of the carers, cleaners and kitchen staff all knew my Mum's name. The home has a lovely atmosphere and the Activity Leader soon knows what each resident likes and dislikes. She organises a fabulous entertainment programme including music activities, art and crafts and arm chair exercuse. The Chaplain takes time to get to know all the residents and her twice weekly fellowships are a delight. Thanks to each and everyone of you who make Claybourne a special place.

Since our friend came to permanently live at Claybourne we, as friends of the resident an only praise the care and love we see around all residents. The atmosphere is amazing and we are all treated the same, visitors & residents. The staff work so hard to, from the domestic staff, chef and his staff, management team and of couse the carers themselves. We admire & thank you all for everything you do.

It's an excellent, well managed, well staffed home from home, it's a big step to entrust your loved ones into residential care but it's been a great decision. I cannot thank the manager and her team enough.

A high standard of care for residents is being maintained at Claybourne, with relatives being informed and kept up to date with any issues or illnesses regarding their loved ones when this is required. Definitely one of the best care homes in the area.

I looked at many care homes for mum before I found Claybourne and none came anywhere near to providing the care and support that this home gives. Thank you.

It is a huge relief for us to know that mum is safe and well cared for at Claybourne. The staff are always so patient, understanding and caring and the manager is excellent. Although mum is unable to walk around the grounds, she loves to see the beautiful garden and trees. The Fellowship and Sunday services are also very important to her and there are other activities available to join in too. There is a good and varied selection of meals on offer.

I really can't praise the accommodation and staff enough.

Claybourne has been home to my mother for eight years. She has bonded with members of staff. She also receives music therapy which has made a difference. I am made welcome when I visit. Mum's needs are met and she is treated with care and empathy.

A fantastic home, very welcoming. The staff are amazing and take time to get to know each resident individually, nothing is too much trouble. They all genuinely care for the residents and form great relationships with them. There are always varied activities to take part in such as chair Zumba and singing. The gardens were a bonus as my mum loved to potter in her well kept garden. The garden at Claybourne is so special and attracts much wildlife too. The residents are able to make their own choices where to explore in a safe environment from several avenues each with their own lounge where they can stop off for a cup of tea along the way and are made to feel welcome. I am truly grateful for all the help and support and would not hesitate to recommend Claybourne.

Excellent home, with excellent friendly and caring staff, who are always happy to help and answer any questions we may have. You are treated like one of the family. I worked in a nursing home for 13 years, and qualified in dementia, this is by far a better home, higher standards and a place I know my mum is happy, safe and well looked after.

Amazing care for the residents by all of the staff. I've found that the staff are very friendly and polite. The whole building is very clean and tidy, and well maintained. The gardens are well kept. The meals are of good quality, varied and nutritious. The care home is very well managed. Good regular activities are provided which suit the residents.

Fully recommend.

Mum has really enjoyed her stay.

The staff are always loving and caring towards my mum, and this means a lot to me as my mum cannot speak due to a stroke, but they always manager to communicate with her. Also, the home manager and all the management team are always there to help me, whether it's words of encouragement or anything else I need for my mum, not forgetting the cooks in the kitchen who will prepare anything my mum wants, and the cleaning team who do her laundry and keep her room nice.
