Autumn Lodge Hove

I am so lucky my brother lives at Autumn Lodge. I cannot praise ALL the staff enough no matter which department they work in they are so kind to ALL the clients. The care and attention clients get, nothing is too much trouble for the staff, there are activities in the mornings and entertainment every afternoon. Food is amazing it is just a lovely happy home. Clients are always clean + tidy. When I visit staff will offer me a drink and biscuits nothing is to much trouble

My mother was a resident at Autumn Lodge for five and a half years, where she was lovingly cared for until she peacefully passed away. The standard of care she received was the best and I highly recommend Autumn Lodge to any family member who is seeking a home for their loved one. Mum was treated with the greatest of respects, she enjoyed all the activities and party's which helped keep her so happy and stimulated. All my family members were treated with the same care too, helping it to feel like one big happy family. Mums care was perfect and she had a beautiful room with all her own special photos and treasures she enjoyed. The owner, manager and care staff are very approachable and will help with any enquiries or concerns. It was always a joy to walk through the doors of Autumn Lodge and be greeted by my mum with a big smile on her face and the friendly staff. I miss Autumn Lodge as it became a safe happy home for me to spend many days with my mum. I would like to thank all staff.

Autumn Lodge has been a huge help in smoothing a very difficult time in our lives. Making that hard decision to leave a loved one in the care of someone else is difficult but every single staff member we had contact with at Autumn Lodge not only put our minds at ease but also cared for our loved one with the up most dignity and professionalism and support. They were consistently friendly and extremely caring. From the manager, to the on the floor carers, to the housekeeping staff, we found all of them treating our loved one as if they were their own family member. Autumn Lodge made ever effort possible to keep our mum entertained. We have no doubt whatsoever that our Mum was safe, cared for, very well fed and always had companionship within the home.There is nowhere else we would of liked our mum to of spent her final years. Thank you to everyone at Autumn lodge, you were outstanding.

We were so pleased to have found this little home for my brother-in-law. He is so happy here and enjoys all the activities, in his last home, he would sit in his room all day. He gets on well with the staff who are so kind and caring and enjoys his meals. The staff did a wonderful 50's/60's afternoon which all the residents enjoyed with the dance music and teas. The home is always spotlessly clean, and residents are clean and well cared for when I have visited. I can always ask the staff how my brother-in-law is and raise any concerns I have. The owner's priority seems to be his staff and residents' welfare and that is why it always has a great warmth and happiness all the time.

My husband only became a resident in January, it was a very emotional wrench leaving him, but the staff of Autumn Lodge are so caring and friendly, from the carers to the housework team and the kitchen staff. I know he is being well cared for as he deserves, they go above and above putting on shows, taking them out and treating them as they all deserve.

My mother came to Autumn Lodge in early December 2025. Before she'd even got there we knew she would be lovingly cared for. We dropped some things off to make her room nice and when we came back to arrange them, everything had been beautifully laid out with obvious care and thoughtfulness. There is always something going on at Autumn Lodge and nothing is too much trouble.We could feel totally at ease knowing that Mum was safe and well cared for. It is clear in so many different ways that the team are dedicated to making people happy and the environment is full of love and warmth.

The ethos of this care home is immediately obvious, the welcome is warm and friendly and the pervading atmosphere is calm and happy. All levels of staff have a patient and caring attitude to residents and visitors alike. For me this equates with what I would ideally wish to find in a persons own home. No effort was spared in ensuring the Christmas festivities were enjoyed by all concerned. Generous food and gifts were distributed with inclusive invitations for visitors to join in the fun entertainments Top marks!

My mum has been at Autumn Lodge for 6 months so far. I've been so impressed by the standard of care and the effort taken by the staff to make residents comfortable and happy. There are daily activities and entertainment organised which are fantastic. I couldn't really have hoped for a better care home for Mum.

I hope they appreciate how special they are and the talent it takes to work day in and day out with people who cannot be cared for at home by family because it is too difficult.

We have been impressed greatly by the standard of care given to the residents (and visitors) of Autumn Lodge. Without exception, the staff provide a compassionate, friendly and safe environment with excellent catering and wide-ranging activities. There is a lot of laughter! We are extremely grateful for all they have done to give our brother the best possible quality of life over the last year.

It is very sad watching my Mum deteriorate but it is a huge relief to know she is looked after and being taken care of by a group of staff who are so dedicated to making the last stage of her life as happy and fulfilling as it can be.

The staff at Autumn Lodge are lovely, very caring and work as a team. The residents have a fantastic week of activities every day, they take the residents out up to three times a week, various activities - art club, pedal people and coffee shop activities. The home is very clean and the food is amazing, the dessert trolley and the local fish and chips every week. Overall they really make it feel like home for the residents.

My 88-year-old neighbour was diagnosed with dementia and Autumn Lodge was one of three recommended homes given. Autumn Lodge was by far the best for me in terms of facilities, the friendliness of staff, location and also their 24-hour visiting times. She spent four months at Autumn Lodge before she died and every day received an incredible amount of love and care. Both the residents and care home staff are the happiest I've met. I highly recommend this care home.

I've visited Autumn Lodge many times while my friend has been staying there and it's always lovely to see the events organised for the residents. It must be hard work, but the team always seem cheerful and genuinely supportive of my friend. I always leave feeling that this is the best place for her; she's in good hands, and I truly appreciate all the care they provide.

The care our grandmother received from Autumn Lodge was of a very high standard. The home and rooms are beautifully kept, the food was amazing and the entertainment and activities were always so much fun for the residents. The staff, manager and owner were helpful, friendly and very good with communication with the family. When you leave a loved one to be looked after you want to know that they feel safe and cared for and we felt that was exactly what our grandmother was receiving throughout her time there. Highly recommended thank you!

My mother was a resident in Autumn Lodge for 4 years, the care she received during her stay was exceptional. The carers always show such kindness and patience and create a happy home for all the residents. Peace of mind was the greatest gift they gave to me and my family, knowing that my mum was in a safe, loving environment. The home is beautifully furnished and very clean, my mum had a lovely room that was kept spotless. The food is delicious and the sweet trolley a dream. Every afternoon there is entertainment and there is a beautiful secure garden that residents can access themselves. An aviary of budgies provide sweet sounds and Dotty the home dog was a favourite of my mum. The owner and the manager are very approachable and you can tell they truly have great affection for all the residents. I have been to many of the tea parties that they have put on for residents and their families, which were wonderful. I would highly recommend Autumn Lodge.

I feel she may sadly be unable to join us this Christmas but I know that the home will create a magical Christmas for everyone because the staff really do make an effort to create lots of great entertainment and fun and I’m so grateful for that as my mum is a happy, jolly old lady with plenty of life in her yet! Thank you, Autumn Lodge, she loves you all!

This home is well led by the fantastic staff. The manager is remarkable and the owner is 100% involved with staff and residents care, to give them the choice to live a holistic lifestyle. The residents are allowed the freedom to be themselves without interventions in medication. They are well supported in their daily lives no matter how difficult things get, as on a daily basis Dementia can change rapidly. The staff adapt to their needs. My only suggestion would be - when will the owner of Bravery care open another home like this? All homes should take the lead on Autumn Lodge's ethics, care, compassion and ideas of holistic care.

Autumn Lodge is exceptional. Everyone is treated with warmth, respect and understanding with ALL staff going out of their way to ensure the wellbeing of residents – and their family! We're so fortunate to have found Autumn Lodge and instantly knew that it was the right place for Mum to be. Mum has later stage dementia and she's lived here for eight years; I know that as her illness progresses they'll not abandon her.

The home is maintained to a very high standard yet it is undoubtedly everyone's comfortable home, not just somewhere they happen to live. Personal care, nutrition and involvement in social activities are all treated as equally important to the happiness of the residents and if someone wants to spend the day in bed (a favourite activity of Mum's!) That's fine too; care is not stinted just because they are in their own room. Continued monitoring of health is exceptional too and I think it is fair to say that Mum is happier and has thrived in recent years because of their care.

This wonderful care home which specialises in Alzheimer's gives peace of mind to relatives. The staff are caring, compassionate and very well trained. Visitors can pop in at any time, food is plentiful and of excellent quality; being all cooked on the premises. Nobody is left in their room all day and everybody is encouraged to join in with the daily afternoon events. The buildings and lovely gardens are all maintained to the highest standard. We count ourselves very lucky to have a place there.
