About St Rita's Care Home

St Rita's Care Home brings together nursing care and a genuine sense of community in the beautiful county of East Sussex. Families looking for support for a loved one will find a setting where the dedicated team works hard to provide compassionate, attentive care every day. With its roots in a county known for its charm and character, St Rita's aims to feel like a true home for everyone who lives there.

St Rita's Care Home provides residential care with nursing support to 55 people living with dementia and age-related frailties, including one person with a learning disability. The home accommodates up to 60 residents.

The service has identified gaps in its quality assurance processes. Care records do not consistently document planned care and its delivery, and assessment tools are completed inconsistently. Audits have not always caught these discrepancies.

Formal feedback from relatives is not consistently addressed in a timely manner. While staff conduct health risk assessments for residents, some assessment tools show inconsistencies in their completion.
