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. ?
The home changed owner in January 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Cavell Care Home Ltd runs Cavell House, a nursing home in Shoreham-By-Sea, West Sussex with room for 52 residents. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in West Sussex has 27 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its CQC rating, from April 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in West Sussex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 209 other homes in West Sussex share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from May 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in West Sussex. The home changed owner in January 2026.
