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 home changed owner in May 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Villa Adastra is a 40-bed residential care home in Hassocks, West Sussex, run by Pilgrims' Friend Society. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
In March 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in June 2016, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in West Sussex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from December 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in West Sussex. 209 other homes in West Sussex share its tier, “Good”. The home changed owner in May 2026. Pilgrims' Friend Society runs 12 care homes, and 10 of the 12 rated are Good or Outstanding. About 3.5 km away, Woodlands Nursing Home is rated Outstanding.
