Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 5 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. ?
Edendale Lodge is one of 281 care homes in East Sussex: a 35-bed residential care home in Battle, run by Belmont Healthcare (Edendale) Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
In July 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 5 fell below good. The lowest was “independence, choice and control” (some shortfalls).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in East Sussex. Across East Sussex, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
