Welcome to Claydon House
Claydon House Care Home, is situated at the end of a quiet residential crescent in the heart of the town of Lewes in East Sussex, just north of Brighton.
Life in Lewes is a slower pace, and all our residents are treated as family. We are often told that we make residents and visitors feel like family and that they feel like they have always been here.
We strive to go the extra mile for everyone we care for, encouraging families to join in our activities along with their loved ones, which is always enjoyable for everyone involved.
At Claydon House, we believe that even a very simple act can be the most important one to a resident.
What does care from the heart mean to the team at Claydon House?
“Caring from the heart means that we get to know our residents and families and deliver the care they need and want. Treating all residents as if they are the only ones that matter.”


Fresh new look at our Lewes care home
The refurbishment work at Claydon House is near completion with the creation of a new café for people living in our community and their friends, family and visitors to enjoy. As well as redecoration of main lounges, dining rooms and a number of bedrooms. The home also has a new hair salon with a stylish new look.
We combine care, comfort and style exactly the way you want it.

Keeping Things Personal
The welcoming surroundings at Claydon House Care Home are matched by the high standard of individual care our colleagues provide to our residents.
When you arrive and throughout your stay you’re greeted with warmth, passion, and care and our community is vibrant, happy, and homely. We love learning as much as we can about who we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual need and interests. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, how they like their tea, and everything about their daily routine. Our team takes the time to get to know all our residents and encourage independence and communication.
We are dedicated to providing a smooth transition into a home where care is from the heart and interaction with residents is paramount. Our residents show us the way. They tell us what they need, and we do our very best to deliver. Every element of our care is considered with their needs in mind. Surrounding everyone with familiarity, security and care, we make their experience with us as fulfilling as possible.

Our Team

Vanessa Redford
Home Manager
I enjoy the huge variety of people I work with daily – relatives, residents, staff and professional bodies. My biggest achievement is ensuring residents receive the care they need and want.

Charbie Broadway
Senior Health Care Assistant
I work hard to ensure that those in our care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.

Sue Brown
Health and Wellbeing Supervisor
I work with every resident to put an activities plan in place, so they can get involved whenever they wish to and enjoy time socialising with other residents.
Meet the Manager
Vanessa is our Home Manager at Claydon House Care Home, here’s a little bit more about the home in her own words:
“I have worked in care for over 30 years, primarily with the young and the elderly. I started my career working with young adults with learning difficulties and have now moved into care homes for older people.
It is my responsibility to ensure residents are safe and well cared for in a person-centred manner. That staff adhere to policies and procedures and work in a safe environment. I believe everyone should be treated as an individual.
I enjoy the huge variety of people I work with daily – relatives, residents, staff and professional bodies. My biggest achievement is ensuring residents receive the care they need and want.
I have a few hobbies that I enjoy. I love to read and to cook. I also love to travel and go on lovely walks. There is a lot of green countryside and sea all a short distance from the home.
I have lived locally on and off for the past 40 years, so know the area very well. I did spend two years living in Egypt previously, which was an amazing experience, but nothing beats the picturesque countryside of home.”
