Review from Alan M (Son of Resident) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother passed on 3rd September this year having been a resident of Abbotsleigh for very nearly 3 years. She was looked after wonderfully well by all the staff and carers. Despite being confused through dementia she didn't always remember peoples names but she always told me she was well looked after.


My

desire was always for her to be somewhere she was safe & comfortable, I think we were lucky she went to Abbotsleigh. In addition to my mum being well looked after I would like to recognise how well I personally was treated by all the staff at Abbotsleigh, I was always made to feel welcome, kept fully advised of what was going on at both the home and with mother. I will obviously miss my mother, but I will also miss seeing the team at Abbotsleigh.


Thank you for the marvellous job you have done and made the last 3 years of my mother's life better for all concerned.

Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words, Alan. It was a privilege to care for your mother over the past three years and we are so pleased she felt safe and comfortable with us. It means a great deal to know that you also felt supported and welcomed. We will miss seeing you too, and send our deepest condolences.

Well what can I say, my dad has been a resident at Abbotsleigh for nearly 8 years and the care he has received has been amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful and treat him with such respect, he is well looked after and if he has been poorly they have been on top of getting doctors out and medication
started. They also are great with us as a family aswell keeping us up to date on anything we need to know. I have no hesitation in recommending Abbotsleigh to anyone from the experience we have received.
Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much, for your lovely words and for trusting us with your dad's care over the past eight years. It means so much to the whole team to know you feel supported and reassured. We'll make sure everyone hears your feedback; it truly inspires us to keep doing our very best.

Review from M W (Sister of Resident) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a spell in hospital, my sister's dementia necessitated going into care, which was quite a shock as, at that point, I wanted her to come home. She was taken to Abbotsleigh Care Centre. Over time, she settled in and her usual happy personality returned. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff
involved in her care and how the home is run. She seems very happy, she is well cared for and is safe. Her day to day life is much fuller than it would have been had she returned home. The outside space is lovely, and they can feed the chickens. There is plenty of room for people to sit, and we recently had a BBQ and strawberries and cream.
Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear your sister has settled in well and that her happiness has returned; it truly means a lot to us. It's lovely to know you've enjoyed the outdoor space and recent events too. Your feedback is a wonderful encouragement to the whole team.

My husband has been at Abbotsleigh now for 18 months and settled in very quickly with the care of the staff who were very attentive to his needs. They always address him by name and try to engage him when they can which is not east as he is very tired and sleepy. His weight has stabilised since being
there although he is very thin, but the staff try to move him regularly to avoid bedsores. He is in his chair in the coffee room every 2-3 days which he enjoys with singers coming in, organised by the entertainment team.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased to hear your husband has settled in well and is enjoying the activities. It means a lot to the team to know their care and efforts are appreciated; I'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with them.

The staff are really lovely. They smile and have so much patience. The activities are so creative. I am amazed at how inventive the entertainment are. The staff have such good ideas. The grounds are beautiful. It's lovely to have tea and coffee facilities for guests in reception, it means you can relax
with a coffee and sit in the comfortable armchair whilst visiting your relative in their room. We were so delighted to find a vacancy at Abbotsleigh at the time we needed it. Dad calls it "his home" now.

Thankyou to all of the staff, manager and chef! The celebration you put on for my dad's Diamond wedding anniversary was simply stunning. The little touches such as getting and helping him to sign a card to my mum was above and beyond.


A simple thank you doesn't seem enough for everything you do

but I hope this is a wee reminder of how thankful I am to you for continuing loving care of my dad and all of the residents in Abbotsleigh.

My father has been living at Abbotsleigh for 18 months and is very contented there. As a family we have been so happy with the care he has received and the friendly, caring staff who always do more than expected. As an example, the staff realised recently it was my parents' wedding anniversary and
helped dad, who has long term dementia, to sign an anniversary card for my mum which was such a lovely touch. There are always activities planned and dad also seems to enjoy the food immensely! We are so relieved that we found dad such a cheerful and caring place to live.

Review from Andrew E (Nephew of Resident) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt has been resident since mid-March 2025, having had a 6 month stay at Staplehurst Manor after a 2 week stay at Pembury Hospital after breaking her hip in a fall at home at the end of August 2024. I am very happy with almost every aspect of my aunt's care - the single aspect, which has nothing
to do with Abbotsleigh, is the haphazard provision of weekly GP visits after a change in management/ownership at the Staplehurst Health Centre. Communications (whether phone or email) with the Health Centre are similarly frustrating. Abbotsleigh's staff are extremely pro-active, very caring and friendly, and very good at communicating with me as my Aunt's NOK about all aspects of her physical health and mental state.
Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words, Andrew. We're really pleased to hear you're happy with the care your aunt is receiving at Abbotsleigh. Our team works hard to ensure residents feel safe and supported, and it's lovely to know that communication has been clear and helpful. I'll be sure to share your feedback with the staff, they'll really appreciate hearing it. We also understand the challenges with the local surgery and truly appreciate your patience and understanding in that area. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's ever anything you need. Thank you once again for your positive review.

Mum has been at Abbotsleigh Care Centre for eleven months after a one-month stay at Maidstone Hospital. Abbotsleigh is set in a lovely quiet area in the countryside, you often see rabbits running around in the garden.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, despite my mum being non-verbal, they
all still sit and chat with her and let her join in all the many activities they have going on daily.
Not only do the staff look after mum they go out of their way to talk to me too, they treat me and any other visitors with the same love and care they do my mum.
Reply from Alina Abagiu, Registered Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Centre

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We are so glad to hear that your mum has settled in well with us over the past eleven months. We always strive to provide a warm and supportive environment not only for our residents but for their families as well, so it's great to hear that you feel welcomed during your visits.

My mother-in-law left the hospital to live at Abbotsleigh Care Home in 2023.
Initially, she took a while to settle in, but the kindness and willingness of the staff to help her in that process was a great help.
They took the time to get to know her and all her wonderful years of life; her culture
and her history.
Now, two years on, she speaks highly of the respectful care she receives. She enjoys the garden and bird life around her, and the innovative arts, crafts and trips offered.

People say that there is no place likes home. Well, I say there is no place like this home. Abbotsleigh Care Centre is what I dreamed of when looking for a safety, comfortable ad caring place for my mum to end her days. I simply cannot thank the staff enough for the care she received during her 18-month
stay. Every member of staff, whatever their role, gave their absolute all every single day - activities were stimulating and often tailored to the individual. My family was always treated kindly and comfort and reassurance were always present. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the dedication and professionalism of the staff.

The manager and the whole staff team have specialized in providing the very best palliative care (GSF) which reflects the individual wishes and needs of your loved one and also supports families through a desperately sad time. From your feedback, the staff gave the best of themselves in ensuring the care and support given met all of your needs, and the experience was supported throughout with care and understanding.

Dad was at Abbotsleigh Care Centre for just over two years whilst suffering from both Parkinson's disease and dementia. He was always treated with such respect and care throughout his time with them, always positive, always encouraging and really welcoming us (as relatives) to their extended family.
We cannot thank them highly enough for the end-of-life care they gave to Dad and the support they gave to us was exceptional during this sad time.
We would highly recommend this care home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Abbotsleigh Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for Abbotsleigh Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.938
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbotsleigh Care Centre is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

"Hello, my name is Alina Abagiu and I’m the Manager at Abbotsleigh Care Home in Kent, Staplehurst. We are a Dementia and Nursing Care Home in Kent, Staplehurst and we would like to invite you to pay us a visit. Our Care Home is a beautiful building, combining ‘old’ character with newly refurbished facilities. Abbotsleigh is set among lovely, landscaped surroundings – an altogether peaceful, and tranquil Care Home.


Our care team are passionate about supporting our residents with all levels of Dementia and Nursing needs through person-centred care and personalised care plans. We have 59 single rooms in our Care Home – the majority of which have en-suite facilities. Having recently undergone extensive refurbishments in recent years, they are spacious, bright and airy, with pleasant picturesque all-round views.


Abbotsleigh Care Home has two units – Red Admiral with 29 beds and the upper floor Holly Blue with 30 beds. We also have a Sensory and Stimulation Room that is used by the Health and Well-Being team alongside our fantastic Life Experience Coordinators. We encourage the families of our residents in our Home to personalise their rooms with familiar belongings to create a ‘home-from-home’ environment, enabling their independence.


The Home has two main dining areas and two main lounges. There is also an Atrium that can be facilitated to families and or visitors to have a more “private” time with their loved ones.


We actively encourage residents and their families to become involved in the decisions surrounding their care in our Home. This helps us meet their needs through individualised care plans which are continually adjusted as personal care needs change. The care teams in our Home are all experienced in managing the care needs of many health and social care issues and we liaise with a large network of other healthcare professionals. We welcome families and friends to visit us at any time and we encourage open communication."
