A lovely care home that is well maintained and looked after. Every aspect of the home is exceptional from the care staff, food and cleanliness. Senior management is very approachable and if there are any problems they are soon sorted. There are always plenty of activities for the residents and church services are held on a regular basis. I was particularly impressed with the well laid out and maintained gardens.

Eighteen months after arrival Mum had a severe stroke. When after 6 weeks in hospital she had made no progress and was unable to swallow, Claybourne arranged for her to go back there for end of life care.
She spent just over two weeks being looked after by her usual carers, under the care of the GP and with district nurses on hand when necessary.
The chaplain visited and read to mum as well as talking to me.
I was looked after in a gentle and unobtrusive way with cups of tea and sandwiches whenever needed. Mum was afforded love, respect and dignity.
What a truly beautiful place to visit residents in. From the initial phone call through to being met by delightful men on the carpark- all most welcoming. The manager and the chaplain all made the visit lovely. The care staff were happy and welcoming and at great ease with all the residents. We...

Well done everyone for creating such a beautiful environment.

Mum lived at Claybourne for the final two years of her life and we felt she was very well cared for there, with genuine love and affection. We (her daughters and families) were always made to feel very welcome by all the staff when we visited Mum, no matter when we called in. We always felt kept up to date and informed of Mum's condition and this was very important to us, as her dementia meant that she couldn't keep us informed herself. The design of the home and the range of activities really seemed to enhance Mum's quality of life while she was there. At the end of Mum's life, my sisters and I were able to be with Mum, and the staff at the home were attentive and caring towards both Mum and towards us, without being intrusive, throughout her final day. We could not fault the care that Mum had at the end of her life, and we felt very well supported by the staff at this sad time. So glad someone recommended MHA to us when we needed a dementia home for Mum.
My mum is very happy at Claybourne. Mum is being cared for in a wonderful environment where there are many activities to help stimulate the residents. It is always a pleasure to visit.

Wonderful home, we feel really blessed and very grateful that our mum is happy, therefore we are happy. Professional and compassionate staff.

The care of the staff at Claybourne is wonderful. They seem to love the residents and always look out for them even when the residents can be very difficult. Email contact seems to be poor but the level of care is far more important and so I would highly recommend Claybourne. It is always warm, clean and homely. There's always lots of activities too for the residents and families.

Mum moved in here at the end of January 2016, she has had a wonderful time. She is so happy here, this is because the staff have taken such good care of mum. My mum lived on her own before entering Claybourne, she has early onset Alzheimers and needs a lot of support, she gets the help she needs being her. The staff are so caring and always shows compassion. Mum will express how much she loves it a Claybourne and how she never wants to return home. My sister and I have great peace of mind now. Thank you.

We spent a long time visiting care homes to find the best home for mum. I visited the home three times before making a decision and was so impressed by the consistent friendliness of the staff, the help and advice we received and the warm and friendly atmosphere. We, the family, were supported as much as mum was on the day she transferred to Claybourne. Staff were helpful, kind and reassuring. Although sadly mum's stay at Claybourne was short, she was happy and settled from the day she arrived. Family members and friends were always made to feel welcome and we were encouraged to feel part of the Claybourne community. I would highly recommend visiting.
Outstanding service what more can anyone say.
