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. ?
An independent residential care home in Worthing, West Sussex, Touchstones is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 15 beds. CQC registers it to look after people with mental health needs. The typical home in West Sussex has 27 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2022. 92% of homes in West Sussex also score 5. 209 other homes in West Sussex share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from January 2020, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in April 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In West Sussex, 32% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
