About Stanhope Lodge
Stanhope Lodge is a residential care home in Durrington, West Sussex. We support older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, autistic adults and people with a learning disability, adults with physical disabilities, people with sight or hearing loss and those managing an eating disorder. We also offer respite stays. Supporting that spread of needs under one roof is only possible if care is planned for the individual rather than the group. We spend real time getting to know somebody, write plans that describe the person rather than the category, and review them properly as things change. What steadies one person here would unsettle another, and we would rather do the work of finding out than apply a single house approach to everyone. People choose how their rooms look, take part in the ordinary business of the house as much as they want to, and get out to what they enjoy locally. Where somebody wants a job, a course or a regular club, that belongs in the plan rather than at its edges. We keep the staff team as consistent as we can, train them to notice early signs of distress, and work closely with families, social workers, GPs and community teams. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Visitors and referrers are welcome to come and see the home.
