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. ?
Bannow Retirement Home is an independent 26-bed nursing home in St Leonards On Sea, East Sussex, registered with CQC under its own name. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia.
In East Sussex, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. 90% of homes in East Sussex also score 5. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
