Review from an individual we support's family...

In 2010, we as a family were in a very difficult place while caring for our autistic son. Struggling to find the right care support and decide his future path, we were introduced to Clayton Care and it was the beginning of a long but fruitful life changing journey for him and us. After 14 years collaboration, care and planning between ourselves and Clayton Care, our son is living independently supported by their excellent care team 24-7. All staff members at Clayton Care are very experienced - supporting their clients needs with kindness, awareness, diligence, patience and understanding. The well-being and safety of our son has produced growth in all aspects of his daily life, giving him structure and stability. We feel the care team is like an extension of his family, as well as ours. Being able to work together when challenges appear by developing and implementing coping strategies appropriate to his needs. And this, for us as parents is great peace of mind that our loved one is being cared for in the way we would expect.
