Meet The Manager
Vanessa Redford is Care Home Manager at Claydon House.
I have worked in care for over 30 years, primarily with the young and the elderly. I started my career working with young adults with learning difficulties and have now moved into care homes for older people.
It is my responsibility to ensure residents are safe and well cared for in a person-centred manner. That staff adhere to policies and procedures and work in a safe environment. I believe everyone should be treated as an individual.
I enjoy the huge variety of people I work with daily – relatives, residents, staff and professional bodies. My biggest achievement is ensuring residents receive the care they need and want.
I have lived locally on and off for the past 40 years, so know the area very well. I did spend two years living in Egypt previously, which was an amazing experience, but nothing beats the picturesque countryside of home.
Claydon House care home, situated at the end of a quiet residential crescent in the heart of the town of Lewes in East Sussex, just north of Brighton, is a Victorian town residence that has been restored and converted to offer modern facilities such as ensuite bedrooms whilst still retaining its charming period character.
The highly trained care team are on hand around the clock to ensure that everyone’s individual needs and preferences are met, supporting residential care, nursing care, and dementia care on a permanent, respite or convalescent care basis.
Engaging daily activities can keep you busy, or you can unwind with a good book in the conservatory overlooking the gardens. There are plenty of spaces to welcome visiting friends and family, and we also provide trips out to local shops, cafés and pubs, as well as to the nearby coastline.

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.

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.
