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.

I cannot praise the care team and home enough for their dedication and attention given to my husband; I was very happy that his last days were in a caring environment.

Our experience of care of Claydon House has been wonderful. The staff have been caring and understanding at all times. The management have been extremely helpful and flexible to take account of our needs. We attribute the residents health improvement to the quality of the care.

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.

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.

I am delighted that my family and I chose Claydon House as the most suitable nursing home for my needs. Not only situated in a lovely crescent, but a clean and well managed home. We looked at plenty of nursing homes which were frankly grim. The staff here are simply lovely. All of them are friendly,
helpful, kind and east to chat to.

Claydon House provided a comfortable and caring home for my dad in his last weeks and the staff was excellent, very patient, kind, and compassionate. They took really good care of him which isn’t easy when, at times he could be rude, aggressive, and racist. People say that old people are stuck in
their ways but I disagree. It’s never too late to learn to be anti-racist and I hope that he did try. I hope he provided some laughter and joy too with the warm side of his personality. Sadly I was not notified he was dying and I therefore missed that one chance to say goodbye and to sit with him in his last hours/moments which is what I would have loved to have done and I know he wanted that too and couldn’t vocalize it at that vital time. I would urge anyone reading this to make a very clear ‘end-of-life plan’ detailing who to contact with phone numbers and specific wishes. I was reassured that a kind staff member who he liked was with him when he died, I wish it had been me.

The team at Claydon House offered excellent care to my father. They established strong personal relationships, getting to know him as a person and always treating him with respect. Their practical care of him was equally good, attentive to his changing needs and proactive in identifying anything
needing attention. Highly recommended.

My elderly father has moderate to severe dementia and needed a respite stay. I work in the NHS locally and know from colleagues and service users that Claydon House, Lewes, has an extremely good reputation. I did not hold out much hope of getting our father in there but miraculously, there was
availability for him. He stayed in the dementia unit which has gorgeous bedrooms, lovely cosy, friendly, homely lounges, and all set in beautiful surroundings. The food was delicious and plenty of it! All of the staff without exception were so friendly, helpful, accommodating, breathtakingly patient, and so kind. Everyone there genuinely cares about their residents and takes the time and effort to get to know individuals' quirks, likes and dislikes, and routines. The care and compassion shown was second to none. The activities and events laid on were marvellous. I cannot thank everyone there enough. I can recommend Claydon House extremely highly without hesitation.

My elderly friend arrived at Claydon House after a very traumatic few months. Losing the sister who cared for her meant I had to move my friend quickly from their home.
Over the transition and settling in, I have found the management at Claydon House so kind and supportive. They have been
personally involved in reassuring and bonding with my friend. All the staff wants to make things as easy, manageable and positive for me and my vulnerable loved one. First class so far!
