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 latest rating, from April 2018, is Outstanding overall. Caring and responsive were also Outstanding. Safe, effective and well-led were rated Good. Its previous rating, in August 2015, was Good, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in West Sussex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
