Strengths and weak spots in the ratings

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 232 of the 316 other care homes in West Sussex that CQC has rated.

Who runs it

Parkside Lodge Care Home is run by Pinnacle Care Homes Sussex Limited (company 15789913), incorporated in 2024, 1 year before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 2 active directors and there is no insolvency history.

Its registered business activity is residential care for older and disabled people.

Pinnacle Care Homes Sussex Limited runs 2 CQC-registered services; 2 of the 2 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 83% for the same mix of services across England.

All 2 are in West Sussex, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.

Track record

Parkside Lodge Care Home registered with CQC in December 2025, so it is a new service.

There is a single overall rating on record, Good (July 2022).

4 years have passed since the last overall rating. Services judged lower-risk wait longer for a visit, but teams change, so check what is different today.

The registered provider has changed since the last rating, so it reflects the old provider; the current one has not been inspected here yet.

Costs to expect

We estimate Parkside Lodge Care Home at £1,460–£1,780 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £76k–£93k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

West Sussex Council can help with costs for people with savings under £23,250, starting with a free assessment.
