About Courtwick Lodge
We are Courtwick Lodge, a residential care home in Littlehampton, West Sussex. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and people with physical disabilities, including younger adults. Respite stays are available. We plan around individuals rather than around a single routine. The people living here have quite different ideas of a good week. Some want to be busy, with work, college, sport or regular groups and plenty of getting out along the coast. Others want quiet and a rhythm they can rely on, and where change is unsettling we keep things steady and prepare carefully for anything unusual. Because we also support people with physical disabilities, a good deal of our attention goes on access, equipment and the practical business of getting about. Where those needs are met properly and without fuss, they stop shaping somebody's day. We are careful about independence too. If somebody can do a thing themselves, more slowly than we could do it for them, that is their time and their decision, and we work at their pace. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Until we have, we would encourage families and commissioners to ask us detailed questions about staffing, training and how support is planned here. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
