How this list is ordered

Homes in Wealden are ordered by the MyCareCheck score, the average of the CQC's ratings for the five questions it asks at every inspection. Where two homes score the same, the better overall rating goes first.

Paying never changes a home's rating, score or place. Top places are only offered to homes rated Good or Outstanding and are always labelled.

Questions families ask

What should learning disability care homes offer?

Good learning disability support should be person-centred, promote choice and help people maintain skills and community connections. Ask how communication and decision-making are adapted for each resident.

How many learning disability care homes are there in Wealden?

20 learning disability care homes in Wealden are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

How much does a care home cost in Wealden?

East Sussex council paid on average £948 a week for residential care and £990 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £2,118 and £1,679. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over. People who pay for their own care are often charged more, so ask each home for its weekly fee.

How are these care homes ordered?

Ordered by the MyCareCheck score: the average of the five CQC key-question ratings (safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led) on a 0 to 10 scale, where Outstanding is 10, Good 8, Requires improvement 5 and Inadequate 2. Homes the CQC has not rated yet come last. No home is left out because of its rating.
