About Collington Park Lodge
Collington Park Lodge is a residential care home in Bexhill on Sea, supporting older people and younger adults from across East Sussex, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. We are a home rather than an institution, and the test of that is whether the ordinary days are any good. So that is where our attention goes. Meals cooked here and eaten at a table. Personal care given calmly and in private. Medication managed properly. Rooms that look like they belong to the person in them. Somebody awake at night. Enough going on in the house to give the day shape, with nobody obliged to join in. For residents with a physical disability, getting about matters enormously. The right equipment, accessible bathrooms and staff who know how a particular person wants to be helped to move are the difference between living here and being parked here. Losing mobility unnecessarily is not something we accept quietly. Where dementia is part of someone's life we work on familiarity rather than correction. The same faces, an unhurried pace, and enough knowledge of a person's history to find a way in when they are distressed. Relatives hold most of that history and we ask for it early. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and see the home, ideally unannounced, and talk to the people who already live here.

More about the care at Collington Park Lodge
Dementia Care at Collington Park Lodge

Collington Park Lodge is registered for dementia care, with no overall rating published so far. Ask how distress is handled and what is done when a resident is set on leaving. Ask when life history is collected and how it reaches staff on shift. Ask where the home's limits lie as the condition advances.
Residential Care at Collington Park Lodge

Collington Park Lodge holds residential registration, so meals, personal care, help with medication, laundry and the life of the house are provided, while a nurse on site is not. Wounds, feeding tubes, oxygen or health that keeps changing call for a nursing home instead. District nurses and GPs normally visit residential homes, so ask how that is arranged here. Ask what would happen if a resident's needs rose beyond the registration, and whether a place is held during a hospital admission. The regional range of £1100 to £1450 a week against a council rate of £800 to £950 is where a top up usually appears.
