About Country Lodge Nursing Home
Here at Country Lodge Nursing Home, we provide nursing and residential care for older people in the heart of Worthing, West Sussex. We are a nursing home in the truest sense, meaning we have the clinical expertise on site to support residents with complex health needs alongside those who simply need a little more help with day to day life. Our team is trained to deliver nursing care to a high standard, and we take pride in knowing each resident as an individual rather than a set of needs to be met. We take time to understand what matters to people, what their routines look like, what they enjoy, and how they like to be supported. That personal understanding shapes everything we do. We also offer respite care for those who need a short stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission, to give a family carer a well earned break, or simply to try out life with us before committing to a permanent arrangement. We always aim to make short stays feel just as settled and comfortable as long term ones. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which we were pleased with and continue to work hard to maintain and build upon. We see the inspection process as a useful reflection of where we are doing well and where we can keep improving. Worthing is a lovely part of the country and we feel fortunate to be based here. Families and friends are always welcome, and we encourage people to stay involved in their loved one's life with us. If you are considering care for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly invite you to come and visit us and see Country Lodge for yourself.
