About Charles Lodge
Charles Lodge provides residential and dementia care in Hove, with day care also available for people who want structured support and social time without moving in. The home’s approach centres on a resident-led environment, with activities, entertainment, quiet relaxation and one-to-one companionship planned around the individual.
Day care guests can use the home’s leisure and social programmes while carers receive a break. Dementia support includes tailored routines and activities intended to provide a familiar, structured setting. Menus are made fresh each day around residents’ preferences, dietary restrictions and relevant medical conditions. Residents may also personalise furnished rooms with their own furniture by arrangement.

Can the care home accommodate religious requirements?
Yes. Religious and spiritual needs can be identified during onboarding, and the relevant manager will aim to accommodate them.
Are the care home rooms furnished?

Can residents choose food that meets their dietary needs?
Menus are created around residents’ preferences and tastes, prepared fresh daily, and adapted for dietary restrictions and relevant medical conditions.
How much does Charles Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Charles Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Brighton and Hove council paid on average £1,205 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
