About Crowborough Lodge Residential Care Home
Crowborough Lodge Residential Care Home is a care home in Brighton supporting older people and younger adults. We are a residential home, so life here is domestic rather than clinical. The day is made of meals worth sitting down to, company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not, familiar routines, visitors at whatever hour suits them, and time outside as a normal part of the week. Help with washing, dressing, medication and moving about fits around that instead of setting its shape. Our approach begins with somebody's life so far. What the work was, who the people are, what a normal week used to look like, what they have never been able to abide. Care planned from that fits the person, and it makes a considerable difference to how settled somebody becomes early on, which tends to shape everything that follows. We try hard to keep real choice in the day. People get up when it suits them, sit where they like, eat what they actually want and see visitors when they wish. For younger adults we are careful that the week contains things belonging to that person's life rather than a general programme designed for somebody much older. Respite stays are available, giving a family carer a properly planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. You are welcome to visit without an appointment, and we would rather you came on an ordinary day.
