Clayton House
Clayton House sits at 145 Dairy Road in Clayton, North Carolina. The community provides memory care and respite care, serving residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Secured living is the organizing principle here, not an add-on feature. The surrounding area scores a 0 on Walk Score, meaning families and staff will be driving to nearly everything.
Sixty beds are licensed and 26 are filled, an occupancy rate of 43 percent. Open capacity carries practical weight for a family working against a hospital discharge date. It also means a smaller resident group inside a secured building.
Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants handle care, with staffing maintained 24 hours a day. Secured living addresses residents who wander or need steady supervision throughout the day and night. Respite care covers shorter stays when a caregiver at home needs relief.
Housekeeping, maintenance, and transportation are part of the operation. Meals are served restaurant-style. Residents have a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area available to them.
State inspection themes at this community include medication management, staffing and staff credentials, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention. Those five areas span both clinical practice and the physical building.
Medicaid is accepted here. Clayton House is a secured 60-bed memory care community with substantial open capacity, round-the-clock licensed staffing, and a documented range of inspection themes families will want to weigh against their own priorities.
