About Saxby Lodge Residential Care Home
We at Saxby Lodge Residential Care Home offer a warm and welcoming home for older people in the coastal town of Bognor Regis, West Sussex. As a dedicated residential care home, we provide compassionate support tailored to each individual who comes to live with us, whether for long term care or a shorter respite stay. Nestled within the PO postcode area of Bognor Regis, our home benefits from its position in this well loved seaside town on the South East coast. The gentle pace of coastal life, combined with easy access to local amenities, makes our setting a comforting choice for families seeking a home for their loved one. We strive to create an environment that feels familiar, homely, and safe, where residents can settle in comfortably and feel part of a wider community. Our specialisms centre around older person care, residential care, dementia care, and respite care. For families, this means we understand the varied journeys that later life can bring. For residents living with dementia, our team focuses on providing gentle, person centred support that respects each individual's history, preferences, and pace. Familiar routines, reassuring surroundings, and patient companionship all play a part in helping residents feel settled and understood. For those needing respite, whether following a hospital stay or to give a family carer a well earned break, we offer a warm welcome and attentive care for however long is needed. Everyday life at Saxby Lodge is built around dignity, kindness, and connection. We believe that good care is about far more than meeting physical needs. It is about knowing someone as a person, honouring their story, and supporting them to live each day with as much comfort and enjoyment as possible. Whether that means sharing a cup of tea and a conversation, enjoying a quiet moment together, or supporting a resident to take part in something they love, we aim to make every day meaningful. We want to be open and honest with families about our current standing with the Care Quality Commission. Following our most recent inspection on 30 August 2024, we received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within this, we are proud that our Caring domain was rated Good, reflecting the genuine warmth and compassion our team brings to every interaction with residents. Our Safe, Effective, Responsive, and Well led domains were rated Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously. We are actively working through a programme of improvements to raise standards across every area of our home, so that the quality of our practice matches the quality of care our residents deserve. Families are always welcome to speak with us about the steps we are taking and the progress we are making. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand that trust must be earned. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Bognor Regis or the wider West Sussex area, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please do get in touch to arrange a visit, meet our team, and see for yourself the care and community we are building at Saxby Lodge.
