Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 1 exceptional, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Windlesham Manor is one of 281 care homes in East Sussex: a 40-bed residential care home in Crowborough, run by Windlesham Services Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. Most homes in East Sussex are smaller: the median there is 24 beds.
In East Sussex, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. 90% of homes in East Sussex also score 5. The nearest home with a higher rating is High Broom Care Home (Outstanding), 0.7 km away.
Its CQC rating, from April 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in October 2017, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in East Sussex, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. CQC found some shortfalls in “medicines optimisation”, one of 1 standards out of 33 scored below good.
