About
Arundel Park Lodge is a family-run nursing home in Saltdean, east of Brighton, on the eastern side of Saltdean Park and a few minutes' walk from the Promenade. It opened in 1988 and provides nursing care for older people, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. The home occupies a 1930s Art Deco building with a sun terrace, mature gardens and sea views from some of its lounges. A purpose-built wing supports residents with dementia and opens onto an enclosed sensory garden. A registered nurse is on duty at all times, and meals are prepared fresh each day.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2019 report. Its key questions were rated Good for safe, effective, caring and well-led, and Requires Improvement for responsive.
