About Brighton Lodge

Brighton Lodge is a residential care home in Emsworth, supporting older people and younger adults, including people with a learning disability, people who are autistic, and people living with a physical disability. Our aim is straightforward. We want the people who live here to have as much say over their own lives as they can, and to have the practical support that makes that possible. That means asking rather than assuming. Some of the people we support want help with every part of the day, while others need a steady presence in the background and the confidence that someone is there if things become difficult. We write support plans with the person, and with their family or advocate when they want that, and we change them when circumstances change rather than waiting for a review date to come round. Emsworth is a pleasant place to live and we make use of it. Trips into the village, time by the water, and keeping up with clubs or interests that mattered before someone moved in are all things we try to protect. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say so plainly than talk around it, and putting that right is where our attention currently sits. We also offer respite stays for people who need care for a shorter period.
