Welcome to Claydon House Lewes, East Sussex
Located on a quiet residential crescent in the heart of the vibrant town of Lewes. Claydon House was once a former Admiral’s residence, now sympathetically refurbished to provide modern facilities whilst retaining its Victorian charm. You’ll find first-class residential, nursing and dementia care and homely facilities with exciting activities, and plenty of places to relax or entertain. Residents and families make the most of our location to browse in the local shops, have lunch in the cafes and cosy pubs or explore our rose garden.
Latest guidance reviews the need for isolation for non-Hospital admissions
The Government has announced that admissions are of less risk if a person has been appropriately vaccinated and the person is being admitted from their own Home and not from another Care Home or Hospital setting.
Residents may be admitted to a care home from the community without needing to complete a 14-day self-isolation period, if they satisfy the requirements. Ask for details.

Keeping things personal
At Claydon House
The surroundings at Claydon House are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.
We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.
Every need catered for
Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Claydon House. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing. Our chefs select a different menu each day, creating lots of home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients to choose from. Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.
Keep doing what you love
At Claydon House, there’s something to do for everyone – from arts and crafts to the hair salon, as well as our packed schedule of events and activities. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or have a catch up over coffee. We have strong connections with the Lewes community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.
Meet the Team
You’ll find the team here are passionate about meeting every individual’s needs, going out of their way to make Claydon House a place residents can call their own. Our team includes nurses and carers experienced in all types of care.
