About Clayton Lodge
Clayton Lodge is a residential care home in Huddersfield. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays for families who need a planned break. We would rather residents set the pace. Being rushed is one of the commonest complaints about care homes and one of the easiest to design out. Dementia care is mostly consistency plus knowledge. We keep things where they were, keep the order of the day the same, and learn what a person's references mean. For residents with physical disabilities we plan the practical side around what somebody can still manage themselves rather than what is quickest for us. Declining to join in is always allowed. We ask, we ask again another day, and we do not treat a preference for solitude as a problem to be solved. Food preferences are taken seriously, including the ones that seem fussy. Somebody who dislikes what is on offer should be able to have something else without making a fuss about it. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. What we care about is whether somebody's day had anything good in it.
