About Fairdene Lodge
We are Fairdene Lodge, a residential care home in Hove. We provide a home for older people, including those living with dementia, and we also take respite stays. A home of our size has an advantage that is easy to overlook, which is that staff genuinely know everybody who lives here. Not just the care plan but the preferences, the history, the small things that make a difference to somebody's day. That knowledge is what good care is actually built on and it is very hard to substitute for. Dementia shapes much of our work. We have found that correcting somebody's account of things achieves nothing, and that knowing who a person has been tells us far more than any list of symptoms. Distress nearly always has a cause, and it is more often practical than people expect. Respite guests are assessed and welcomed exactly as permanent residents are. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with it, though what matters more to us is that the day an inspector saw should be an ordinary day here rather than a special one.
