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 September 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. ?
HC-One No.5 Limited runs Elstree Court Care Home, a nursing home in Eastbourne, East Sussex with room for 41 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. The typical home in East Sussex has 24 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Across East Sussex, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2026. 90% of homes in East Sussex also score 5. HC-One No.5 Limited has run the home since September 2026, when it changed owner. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 62 homes run by HC-One No.5 Limited. 49 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In February 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. 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 June 2018.
