Why choose Country Lodge

We can think of many reasons, but our relatives and residents regularly list these five in their feedback: Our care, our food, our size and our activities and parties.

We are located in the South Downs National Park area in West Sussex, protected for it’s outstanding beauty and our garden is the perfect threshold from which to view it – carefully curated year round by a team of expert gardeners. Our food is designed around Residents’ requests and made from scratch with fresh, locally sourced produce. Our small size means we have a relatively small staff team creating a homely, community feel. Our weekly activities and parties are high points for all our Residents who choose to participate.

People & Care:

We take great care at Country Lodge Nursing Home in Worthing to recruit staff who are passionate about care of the elderly. Together our Management and Staff Team have a huge range of qualifications and experience which we bring together to enhance the experience of Country Lodge Nursing Home.

Our Manager, Deborah Spokes, has been in position for 15 years and has consistently achieved a CQC rating of Good coupled with the highest Consumer Rating for a Nursing Home in the Worthing area on www.Carehome.co.uk. Debbie won the ‘Registered Manager’ award at the 2024 West Sussex Care Accolades’.

We aim to have virtually no agency staff and pride ourselves on the dependability of staff which, in a small home such as ours, ensures Residents always recognise their Carers and build great friendships with them.

Accommodation & Garden:

Our accommodation is unique. Individually decorated rooms fitted with luxury carpets and curtains, many of our rooms look out over the garden and have direct access to the garden via patio doors. All of our rooms are regularly refurbished and all include a profiling bed, specialist mattress, a touch (bed side) lamp, a large button telephone and a smart television.

Every room is individually decorated in an English Country scheme. Almost all have en suite facilities and our luxury rooms are fitted with under-floor heating in their wet rooms and direct access from the bedrooms to the garden through patio doors.

Our garden is something we are particularly proud of. Views from the lounge and dining room are across our beautiful garden to the protected South Downs Park beyond. They are truly spectacular and the fields behind regularly host sheep and thoroughbred horses which creates a stunning scene in all seasons.

Recent feedback

Our mum has been at Country Lodge for just over a year now. From the moment, we visited the home we were really impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the overall cleanliness. Also, the friendliness of all staff to visitors but, more importantly, the residents. Mum is very impressed with the food and she is a tough cookie to please! A huge effort is always made to celebrate birthdays and other occasions, a recent Bonfire Buffet and firework display were really enjoyed by all. The owners and staff really go that extra mile to make all events really special. Mum enjoys the wide range of activities offered each week. As there is a very low turnover of staff their interaction with all the residents is very personal, building a special bond. It's been a huge comfort to us knowing that Mum is being well looked after by such kind, caring people.

Steve B Son of Resident

“A bright and cheerful place to live! Staff are very attentive to all the residents’ needs and provide plenty of activities should they wish to join in. My mother has been a resident at Country Lodge since April 2017 [written in 2020]. We selected it after viewing many homes, because the standards are superb, from personal care to the wonderful staff that look after my mother. Their kindness to her is lovely since being a dementia sufferer she can be quite difficult. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The food there is carefully adapted to the appetite and likes of each resident. I cannot praise it highly enough. Staff treat all the residents with kindness and dignity. Well done to all there!”
