Park Lodge

Park Lodge is a home care agency based in Eastbourne, in the East Sussex council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Eastbourne office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. It is run by Jiva Healthcare. The agency has been registered since November 2016.

At its latest inspection, published September 2018, the CQC rated Park Lodge Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
