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. ?
The Whitebeach is one of 281 care homes in East Sussex: a 39-bed nursing home in St Leonards On Sea, run by Coast Care Homes Ltd. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. Most homes in East Sussex are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2023. Its rating before that, in October 2018, was the same.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 4 of Coast Care Homes Ltd’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). 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.
