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. ?
Mrs Maria Mapletoft runs The Maples, a residential care home in Peacehaven, East Sussex with room for 24 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people and younger adults.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2020. That matches its previous rating, from August 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In East Sussex, 35% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. 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. Mrs Maria Mapletoft runs 2 care homes, and all 2 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
