Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 21 good, 12 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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Ashring House is a 6-bed residential care home in Lewes, East Sussex. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in East Sussex, where the typical home has 24 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. In East Sussex, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
In December 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in October 2019, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in East Sussex, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 12 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “independence, choice and control”.
