Barchester Tower
31 De Cham Road, St Leonards-on-Sea, TN38 0BB
A 24-bed residential home in central St Leonards focusing on sociable communal living.
About this home
Barchester Tower offers residential care to 24 residents across three floors of a substantial Victorian villa near the seafront. The home places strong emphasis on shared communal spaces — three lounges, a library, and a glass-roofed orangery serving as the year-round social hub.
Residents are supported with personal care, medication management, and daily routine. The home does not provide nursing care; residents whose needs progress beyond residential level are supported through a documented transition process with local nursing partners.
CQC rated the home Good overall with Outstanding in 'Caring' — particular praise was given to staff continuity (the home reports 12% annual staff turnover, well below sector average).
