  • Arundel Park Lodge, Brighton
Arundel Park Lodge provides residential and nursing care to up to 30 people with a range of needs.

Located in the seaside village of Saltdean, on the south coast, residents can use direct bus routes to both Brighton and Newhaven. There is a large park opposite with a bowls club and nearby are parades of shops and the promenade.

The home looks not unlike a Spanish villa and its sea views, gardens and sun terrace strengthen that atmosphere. The home also features a dining room and two lounges, one of which has views over the sea, and seating in the garden where residents can enjoy the sea air.

The activities coordinator organises a range of group and one to one activities inside the home as well as regular outings and day trips. Food is nutritionally balanced and homecooked, with residents being supported in eating and drinking.

Review from Michele D (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was looked after with the utmost care and compassion for two years.
She passed away in September 2020. The staff couldn't have been more caring at her end. They helped us celebrate her 90th birthday two weeks before she died. They then informed us when they thought she was slipping away.
They did all they could at her end to ensure she was comfortable and the family were met with kindness and understanding.

I would like to say that everyone is very helpful and keeps you informed. Also, it is nice that you can sit in the garden. Everything is clean and the food is lovely and freshly cooked. Also, the care of the residents is done in a caring manner.

Review from Martin A (Son of Resident) published on 13 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been resident at Arundel Park Lodge about 3 months now. The standard of his care is excellent. He is always clean, presentable, has been given a shave and haircut. He enjoys the food that is served very much. Entertainment is provided in the afternoons in the form of bingo, quizzes, talks
etc so all residents get involved. At Christmas, every resident received a present. On my father's birthday, a cake was made and everyone wished him a happy birthday and sang happy birthday.

My son, aged 45, has advanced Huntington's Disease and was cared for and looked after extremely well at Arundel Park Lodge by all staff with compassion and kindness. They ensured that he had as much enjoyment as is possible given his terrible condition.

The home is very welcoming, warm and friendly. It offers a comfortable environment in recently renovated bedrooms. Staff are communicative, caring and willing to help. I have always had open and transparent communication with all staff. My mother settled into the home well and enjoys what it offers.

Review from Rosemary H (Niece of Resident) published on 13 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been a resident at Arundel Park since 2015 and in all this time I have been entirely satisfied with the care she has received from all the staff. There is a very peaceful and happy atmosphere in the home. The staff are always courteous and gentle with my aunt and she appears to be quite
content. My aunt has a very pleasant room which is kept clean and tidy. Although my aunt does not have a great appetite her meals are presented well and she is encouraged to eat as much as she can.
I cannot think of a better place for my aunt to be.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Arundel Park Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.888 for Arundel Park Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.888
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Arundel Park Lodge is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
