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. ?
An independent residential care home in Crowborough, East Sussex, Baronsmede is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 4 beds. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in East Sussex, where the typical home has 24 beds.
