About Us
Here at St Matthew Road, we are a care home based in St Leonards On Sea, East Sussex, and we are proud to support a wide range of individuals who need care, companionship and a place they can genuinely call home.
We support older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break from their usual arrangements, whether that is planned in advance or at short notice. The breadth of our specialisms means we can often support people whose needs are complex or have changed over time, rather than asking them to move elsewhere.
St Leonards On Sea is a welcoming community, and we see ourselves as very much a part of it. We want the people who live with us to feel connected to the world around them, not removed from it. Life here is shaped around the individuals in our care, their preferences, their routines, their histories and what matters most to them day to day.
Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of good, which we are pleased about, though we treat it as a marker of where we are rather than where we stop. We are always looking at how we can improve the experience for residents and their families.
If you are considering St Matthew Road for yourself or someone you care about, we would encourage you to get in touch and come and see us. We are happy to talk through what we offer and answer any questions you might have. Finding the right care home is an important decision, and we want to make that process as straightforward and reassuring as possible.

Ask the home. We do not know whether the home has rooms for couples. Ask about shared or adjoining rooms if this matters.
Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?
Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up. Use our funding calculator to check what you might pay.
