Meet The Manager
Lesley Andrews is Home Manager at Claydon House.
I believe in maintaining strong relationships with residents and their relatives, and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home.
Located in a quiet residential area in the heart of Lewes, Claydon House provides residential, dementia and nursing care on a permanent and respite basis.
The East Sussex care home has Victorian charm and refurbished to provide modern facilities including welcoming communal areas, a café and a hair and beauty salon. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated, most with an en-suite bathroom. Outside enjoy the beautiful garden and seated areas, perfect for relaxing with loved ones.
The experienced and well-trained team strive to go the extra mile, encouraging families to join in with activities along with their loved ones There is always something to look forward to, including outings in the home’s own minibus.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.
| What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe | ||
|---|---|---|

We are working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients. |

| Infection Control Initiatives in place | ||

 |
Infection Control Training | Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections. |
|
Virus Testing | We are testing for viral infection when symptoms present within our care setting. |
| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |

|
Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Social media provides an up to date window on the activities within a provider's setting.
With the restrictions on visiting during the pandemic, social media platforms such as these offer real insight when you are choosing a provider.
