About Rosebery House

Rosebery House is a residential care home in East Sussex, providing accommodation and personal care for older people, including some living with dementia. Details of the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

Rosebery House provides accommodation and personal care for up to 30 older people, some of whom are living with dementia. At the time of inspection, 29 people were using the service.

Staff had sufficient knowledge to protect people from harm, having received regular training and competency assessments in safeguarding. The home was clean and tidy throughout. While staff numbers were adequate to provide the care and support people needed, inspectors recommended the provider review how staff are deployed during peak times during the day.
