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. ?
Bethune Court is one of 281 care homes in East Sussex: a 45-bed residential care home in St Leonards On Sea, run by Anchor Hanover Group. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. The typical home in East Sussex has 24 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from July 2025. 90% of homes in East Sussex also score 5. In East Sussex, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 101 of Anchor Hanover Group’s 118 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
Its CQC rating, from February 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from January 2020.
