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. ?
Cumberland House is one of 281 care homes in East Sussex: a 18-bed residential care home in Hastings, run by Mrs L Gratton. It is registered to care for older people and people with mental health needs.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 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.
Its CQC rating, from September 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That matches its previous rating, from March 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 35% of homes in East Sussex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
