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. ?
Westergate House is a 79-bed nursing home in Arundel, West Sussex, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in West Sussex, where the typical home has 27 beds.
In November 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from September 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in West Sussex are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in March 2026. That is true of 92% of homes in West Sussex. Across West Sussex, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited runs 210 care homes, and 175 of the 198 rated are Good or Outstanding. About 1.7 km away, Nyton House is rated Outstanding.
