About care in BN27
BN27 covers Hailsham and the Pevensey Levels lowlands in the East Sussex Wealden district — a largely rural postcode with a surprising density of care provision given its relatively small population. The 17 CQC-registered homes provide around 684 beds, with 10 rated Good and a clear absence of Inadequate-rated provision. Hailsham is a historic market town best known today as the site of the Amberstone Hospital complex and for its proximity to the 1066 Country coast. Many homes here offer single-storey accommodation well-suited to residents with mobility needs, and the area offers significantly lower land costs than the nearby coastal towns of Eastbourne and Bexhill.
