About Deerswood Lodge

Deerswood Lodge provides residential and dementia care within Shaw’s wider range of services for older people and residents needing more complex support. The organisation also works across mental health, acquired brain injury and learning disability care, adapting services to local authority requirements.

Care is organised around individual plans that record preferences and help residents retain independence, dignity and choice. The home’s wider approach includes activities, person-centred support and food prepared by employed chefs. Menus rotate monthly, include familiar favourites and provide alternative options, while residents may eat communally or in their own rooms. Deerswood Lodge is part of an employee-owned care provider, a structure that shapes the organisation’s workforce model and wider service approach.

Questions families ask

How much does Deerswood Lodge cost?

The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Deerswood Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, West Sussex council paid on average £1,046 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.

Who pays for a place in this home?

Ask Deerswood Lodge whether it takes residents funded by West Sussex council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
