Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 32 good, 1 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. ?
Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd runs Bowes House, a nursing home in Hailsham, East Sussex with room for 90 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in East Sussex are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
167 other homes in East Sussex share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in December 2025. 90% of homes in East Sussex also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 97 of Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd’s 102 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
Its CQC rating, from August 2024, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in June 2021, was the same. The typical rating in East Sussex is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 1 fell below good. The lowest was “shared direction and culture” (some shortfalls).
