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. ?
Ocean Swell is one of 485 care homes in Kent: a 32-bed residential care home in Westgate On Sea, run by Mr & Mrs M S Rose. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with a physical disability.
Across Kent, 79% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2026. 90% of homes in Kent also score 5. The nearest home with a higher rating is Avondale House (Outstanding), 0.4 km away.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2023. Its rating before that, in May 2018, was the same.
