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. ?
Ferguson Care Limited runs The Wheelhouse, a residential care home in St Leonards-On-Sea, East Sussex with room for 4 residents. It is registered to care for younger adults. That is smaller than most homes in East Sussex, where the typical home has 24 beds.
In November 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in November 2016, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In East Sussex, 35% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
About 1.4 km away, 43 Sedlescombe Road South is rated Outstanding. In East Sussex, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. That is true of 90% of homes in East Sussex.
