Claydon House

The company behind Claydon House

Claydon House is run by Care Uk Care Services Limited (company 02571516), incorporated in 1991, 35 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 4 active directors and there is no insolvency history.

Its registered business activity is medical nursing home activities.

Care UK Care Services Limited runs 240 CQC-registered services across 81 council areas; 64 of the 71 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (90%), against 83% for the same mix of services across England.

5 of its services are in East Sussex.

It trades under the Care UK brand, which covers 240 services run by 1 registered provider.

What it may cost

We estimate Claydon House at £1,990–£2,440 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region (Care UK homes publish prices above their area average). Over a year that is roughly £103k–£127k.

Part of a nursing fee may be met by the NHS (NHS-funded nursing care), paid to the home rather than to you.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), East Sussex Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
