Entertainment and events

Your loved one can enjoy our three beautifully landscaped gardens, relax in the sunshine on our patio areas or in the summer house. They can spend quiet time in the sensory garden or reminiscence room, or visit the hair salon for a spot of pampering.

We have a schedule of events and optional activities, helping residents to explore their interests and discover new ones. There’s music therapy, armchair exercise sessions, gardening, baking, flower arranging, arts and crafts, bingo, quizzes and church services with our dedicated chaplain. We have local entertainers and our themed events are always really popular. We also welcome small pets who bring a homely feel to the place and take regular trips out.

Award-winning music therapy

Claybourne care home in Stoke-on-Trent is committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to help alleviate isolation and the symptoms for those living with dementia. Our trained and award-winning therapist is funded by charitable donations. They interact directly with residents through live music therapy sessions. This includes singing, playing simple percussion instruments or responding to musical cues in a one-to-one or group setting. Take a look at our video to find out more about this life-changing therapy.

Chaplaincy and pastoral support

Claybourne is proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our chaplain provides a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.

Seize the day - unique and memorable opportunities

Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.

Claybourne offers care and comfort, compassion and friendship. At the heart of all we offer is our assurance that you will be treated with the respect and dignity that we all deserve, and if you need anything at all, we’re here to help, 24 hours a day.

Whether in the privacy of your own room or relaxing in the company of your friends and neighbours, we will support you to spend your time doing the things you enjoy. Let us know if it’s music, a favourite newspaper, exercise or a spot of pampering at the salon. Landscaped gardens invite you to appreciate the fresh air, or tend the plants, if you wish. There’s a wide range of social events, so you never need to feel bored or lonely.

Claybourne has the latest safety and security design features so you can live life to the full with peace of mind.

Your room

Rooms are furnished, but we do encourage our residents to furnish their own rooms as they wish. This could be as simple as hanging a couple of their favourite pictures on the wall, but they’re also welcome to bring their own comfy chair, or anything that makes them feel at home.

The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled. We have a mix of room types, including rooms with a full en suite wet room and others with an en suite toilet and sink. We also have some rooms with lovely garden views.

Residential dementia care

We’re proud to be recognised for our pioneering approach to dementia care, which is carefully built around each individual.

Our dementia facilities here are second to none, and specially designed to provide a reassuringly familiar, engaging and warm environment for those living with us. We have dementia friendly decor and our dementia areas open into a secure and peaceful garden.

Residents enjoy music therapy designed to stimulate social interaction and alleviate the feeling of isolation associated with dementia.

We do lots of reminiscence activities, including doll therapy in our specialist reminiscence nursery room and have dressing up areas around the home.

We’ve recently introduced an interactive magic table. This motion-activated sensory projection offers a different kind of fun, helping to stimulate, engage and relax the mind.

Food and drink

Mealtimes are an important part of the day here, giving our residents the opportunity to get together and enjoy freshly prepared food in a relaxed restaurant-style environment. We always offer two meal options and our chefs will happily prepare something special if nothing on the menu appeals.

Our commitment to your well-being

Our highly-trained, dedicated members of staff will always be on hand to provide your care and support in the way that best suits you, in the comfort of your own room with en suite facilities.

We choose the people who work with us very carefully. They need to share our values and respect people, their life experience and personal choices.

We take pride in the cleanliness and maintenance of your home and provide a thorough and friendly cleaning service. Your personal washing will be carefully laundered and returned to you, clean and fresh.
