About Clayton Manor

Clayton Manor is a nursing home in Cheshire East, providing personal and nursing care, including support for people living with advanced dementia. The CQC's most recent findings on the service are set out below.

Clayton Manor is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to 67 people, with capacity for up to 75 residents with different health and care needs. The service operates across two floors in one building, with one unit specialising in care for people living with advanced dementia. During the inspection of the dementia unit, inspectors identified areas where safety in people's care could be improved, though residents and relatives reported feeling safe at the service.

Risk management processes require strengthening, and the home needs to enhance its governance structures, including monitoring systems, record-keeping practices, and the implementation of lessons learned from incidents and concerns.
