Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 26 good, 7 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Southside Partnership runs 19 Leicester Villas, a residential care home in Hove, Brighton and Hove with room for 5 residents. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Brighton and Hove, where the median is 22 beds.
Its CQC rating, from October 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2018. The typical rating in Brighton and Hove is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “listening to and involving people”, one of 7 standards out of 33 scored below good.
