Autumn Lodge is a care home near Hove in the South East. Where patient staff adapt to each resident's unique journey
Specialist Focus
The home's approach focuses on adapting care strategies as dementia progresses, with staff learning each resident's triggers and preferences. However, the environment and staffing levels may work better for some presentations of dementia than others — particularly for those who need very close supervision or have significant mobility combined with high agitation.
Autumn Lodge provides residential care for people over 65, with particular experience in dementia care.
Staff and Management
What stands out here is how staff handle the challenging moments that come with dementia progression. Families have watched the team manage difficult behaviours with patience and calm responses, maintaining dignity even when residents are struggling. Some staff have been here over 15 years, bringing that invaluable experience of knowing how to adapt as conditions change.
What People Say
The kitchen produces meals that families describe as both plentiful and well-prepared, with staff happy to cater to individual tastes. The pleasant garden gives residents outdoor space to enjoy, adding to the sensory experiences available throughout the home.
Families often mention how settled their relatives seem here, with staff taking time to understand individual preferences and quirks. The regular entertainment programme brings variety to each week — from visiting musicians to animal therapy sessions — while seasonal parties and activities like art clubs keep residents engaged with the world around them.
