My mother spent three very happy years at Claydon House. The staff are fantastic, and hardly any turnover of staff. This is important that the same people provided her care. Communication with me was excellent. I would rate Claydon House as outstanding in every aspect.

My mother has been at Claydon House for just over 2 months and we are all very pleased with the care she is receiving. All of the carers, nurses and support staff are so kind, they always take time to talk and reassure her. The managers are very efficient and information is shared well amongst the
staff. The food is good and plentiful but could be served a little hotter. There is a never ending supply of hot drinks, biscuits and cake. Regular activities are organised twice a day and are good fun. The whole house is tastefully decorated and clean. Laundry is done promptly and with care. I would certainly recommend Claydon House for your loved one.

Claydon House have been excellent in caring for Mum at short notice after her fall and need for respite care. From the start, they made everything easy, visiting her at home to assess her needs and ensure they could provide the right environment. They chose a room that suited her well and gave us
confidence in the care she would receive. Visiting is flexible, and we are always made to feel welcome and able to join activities and meals. The house is clean, well-appointed, and her en-suite room has a lovely view and good access to shared spaces. Staff helped her set up the room comfortably and encouraged her to bring familiar items from home. Mum has made good progress, is settling well, enjoys chatting with other residents, and is treated with kindness and dignity. She says she likes the home, and we can see she is regaining her mobility. The management and staff are friendly and work hard to make Claydon feel like a home while offering high-quality nursing care.

The staff have been very kind and helpful in getting the move organised. it is a calm and light space and we are very pleased with the care so far. The room is well-equipped and comfortable and not at all clinical. Visitors are always welcome.

My father has been at Claydon House for just over a month and the staff have been so supportive, answering our numerous questions and taking time to help Dad settle. He is enjoying the food so much he has put on weight! I feel so reassured that he is being well cared for in a calm, kind and gentle
environment.

Lesley and the entire team at Claydon House Care home are amongst some of the kindest and most supportive people I've ever met. My mother needed a two week respite care which we were able to sort out in just a few days allowing my mother to move in quickly. The team have all been brilliant and
supported my mother where I am 130 miles away in the middle of the country. They have looked after her every need including helping her with some minor medical issues. The whole service from initial contact to checkout has been 5 star, I'd give them more but the scale doesn't go that far.
Thank you again to you all and have a wonderful Christmas.

I have visited friends and relatives in many care homes but never have the words care and home been more fitting. The staff are welcoming, professional and clearly have the best interest of the residents in their care. The residents were all engaged in conversation or activities and no one looked
lonely or unhappy. This is clearly a home well managed and run but felt like a home and not an organisation. If you are looking for somewhere for a loved one do go and have a look around Claydon House. You won't be disappointed.

My first visit to a loved one today. Claydon House was beautifully presented. The Staff were super. We were offered coffee on arrival. Our loved one was clearly being well looked after in a beautiful room which was clean, warm and personalised.
When a person you love is vulnerable and needs to be
cared for it is a stressful and scary time...but when you meet staff with warm smiles and time for you....it means the world. Thank you. Xx

I really enjoy visiting my friend. Her room is beautiful with enough of her possessions for her to feel it is her home. It has a stunning view of tree tops as the shared sitting room next door also has. Quite often her friends join in our conversations, and staff ply us with tea and delicious cakes
made in the kitchen. Long term staff have imaginative and caring relationships with her. Often they lay on interesting activities e.g. surveying and discussing a range of contemporary magazines, and I have attended stunning musical recitals with her.

In my experience this is an excellent care home. From the first contact, when enquiring for my father, I felt listened to and cared for. It was a very difficult time for us both and the wonderful people at Claydon House immediately responded to support us. Dad is thriving in this beautiful
environment and from the very first day said he felt at home. And the meals are delicious too.

A very responsive, caring and safe environment. Encouraged my mother to be as active as she could be during her recovery from fractures. Staff always friendly and cheerful and took time to get to know Mum and family. Managers were also extremely flexible and helpful about arranging respite spells

All members of staff go beyond all expectations.
Everyone is so kind and helpful.
It is a wonderful care home to live in.

The home is very cosy, lovely main rooms, the room my auntie is in could do with a make over. The staff are lovely friendly and welcoming. I have answered as best as I can to the ratings but I don't know all the details of some.

Excellent. Care staff were first class.

Having had a severe stroke earlier in the year, nothing more could be done at the stroke unit so we needed to find a care home. From the first meeting, we were so impressed with the team and facilities. We had some complications with the admission but the team stepped in and managed this for us.
Snice moving in the change to our mum has been incredible. She has a special chair to allow her some freedom to move around the home and in the short time being there she looks so much better. The staff are amazing, friendly and always greeted with a smile.

Claydon House has brought my mother some peace. Her room is always immaculate and she is well cared for. The greatest asset Claydon House has are the staff. The people caring for my mother are warm, kind, attentive and efficient. My one issue is that they are very overworked. There should be more
support for the staff and they should never have to work alone for periods of time. I think it is an incredibly demanding job and the well being of the carers should be at the forefront because the happier they are the happier the home is. I would recommend Claydon House. It has been a lovely place for my mother to be.

I want to express my appreciation for the whole team at Claydon House. My mother and I looked at several nursing homes in and around the region, and we instantly came to the decision that Claydon House felt the most homely not only in terms of the place itself, but, more vitally, with respect to the
staff themselves. They are all attentive, caring, warm and compassionate and treat my mother as an individual rather than a patient. Her room here has become a version of her home beyond Claydon House. This level of respect and attention for who she is as a person is so important for her well-being. I live abroad, but feel reassured that my mother is in such good hands at Claydon House while I'm away. The team here are all doing such important work; I cannot thank you all enough for taking such care of mum.
