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 register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Tusker House is one of 281 care homes in East Sussex: a 72-bed residential care home in Hastings, run by Mrs Paula Woolgar. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with dementia. Most homes in East Sussex are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. 90% of homes in East Sussex also score 5. 167 other homes in East Sussex share its tier, “Good”.
In July 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in September 2019, it was rated Requires improvement. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 35% of homes in East Sussex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
