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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
The home changed owner in June 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?

209 other homes in West Sussex share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in June 2026. 92% of homes in West Sussex also score 5. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Mrs Lorraine Barclay has run the home since June 2025, when it changed owner. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from June 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 November 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in West Sussex are as old (how rating age varies by council).
