About Davigdor Lodge Rest Home

Davigdor Lodge Rest Home is a residential care home based in Brighton and Hove, offering a familiar and homely setting for adults who need day-to-day support. The team there aims to provide a comfortable, caring environment where residents can feel at ease and connected to the lively community around them. For families exploring care options in the Brighton area, it can be reassuring to find a smaller home where staff have the opportunity to get to know each resident as an individual.

Davigdor Lodge Rest Home provides personal care to up to 25 adults, many living with mental health conditions. At inspection, 23 people were using the service.

Inspectors found that people were not always kept safe. Risk assessments were not consistently completed for known risks or lacked sufficient detail to guide staff in supporting people safely. The registered manager immediately investigated concerns raised during the inspection and took action to reduce identified risks.

Auditing systems were not robust or effective, limiting management's ability to identify and address risks systematically across the service.
