About Queens Lodge
Queens Lodge is a residential care home in Crawley, West Sussex. We are home to adults who need support with everyday life, including people with a learning disability and autistic people, and we also welcome guests for shorter respite stays while a family carer takes a break. Whatever brings someone to us, we start in the same place, by getting to know what a good day looks like for them and who and what matters most. We try to keep the house calm and predictable, because routine and familiar faces can make the difference between a difficult morning and an easy one. People choose when they get up, how they spend their time and what they eat, and we support them to carry on with the things they already enjoy, whether that is a regular trip into town, a college course, seeing family or a quiet corner with their own music. Where someone needs help with personal care, it is given discreetly and at their pace. Our team works alongside GPs, community nurses and specialist practitioners so that health needs are picked up early rather than left to become urgent. Families tell us they want to be kept informed, so we telephone, we listen, and we say so plainly when something has not gone to plan. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. If you are weighing up options for yourself or a relative, you are very welcome to visit and see the home as it really is.
