I was so impressed by the thoughtful kindness from everyone as well as the smooth running of the home and I am sure they were all like swans! Everyone was so cheerful and caring to all the residents taking time to chat, enjoy a joke and ensure their comfort. I have never been in a care home and my two weeks of respite care makes me sure that when and if the time comes and I needed residential care, Wadhurst Manor will be my first choice.
Thank you so much for the feedback and we are very happy that the care delivered was as expected. Kind regards, Wadhurst Manor.
All staff were excellent. Very clean and comfortable. Staff couldn't do enough for you. The only downside was the quality of the food. Management was very attentive. The outside space was excellent. There is nothing more I wish to say.

This is the third care home my husband has been resident in and is the best. Been there for 2 years and has had multiple problems before but this is the first home that has been able to cope properly with him. Not just that but the staff are so lovely and caring to me as well as him. They take time and always keep me well informed of anything that happens. He was two years in his previous home and I worried about him all the time. Now I don't have to as I know he is well looked after and I will be told at once if anything is cause for alarm. Can't praise them enough.
Thank you so much and we are really happy with the feedback received.

My mother recently stayed for a week for respite care following a period in hospital. From the moment I contacted Wadhurst Manor to the time we left, the care and welcome were second to none. Everyone was so friendly and eager to help. A perfect place for my mother to regain her confidence before she went home.
Thank you so much for your review, it is greatly appreciated.
My sister is staying here and we could not ask for better care, knowing she is safe and kindly treated puts my mind at rest.

My Father has been a Resident at Barchester Wadhurst Manor since April this year. It has been a big adjustment for him, and for us as a family. It has taken me a while to complete this review, however, I now do so in the knowledge that my Father is settled, relaxed and confident in his surroundings. All the Staff I have encountered are caring, friendly and willing to help or advise. They also have a sense of humour which is invaluable. It is very tough seeing your elderly Father become increasingly frail, however knowing that he is cared for, comfortable and can enjoy his meals in the company of others is very reassuring. I would on behalf of our family like to thank the manager and each and every one of the staff who looks after my Father. Whether it be the handyman, the cleaners, the cooks, care staff, nurses, receptionists, finance team, indeed everyone who has helped us during the transition from respite to permanent care. He now refers to the Manor as 'home'.
Thank you so much for the kind words and we are very happy to have your dad in our care.
Thank you all for the wonderful week I have so enjoyed with you at Wadhurst Manor! An operation was planned for me a quite short notice; on realising that I would need a little while to recover, I asked if it was possible to book into Wadhurst Manor, and, wonderfully, there was a room free for the...
I found the warmth of my welcome, the friendliness of all the staff, their courtesy, car, kindness, thoughtfulness and helpfulness heartwarming; in fact, I have run out of words to describe the lovely week! I thought of it as a holiday, an experience I will always remember with joy and thankfulness. Every family member and friend visiting me noticed the peaceful, friendly atmosphere and joined me in my enthusiasm.
I wish to express my gratitude to each person of the outstanding staff who made this respite holiday so special.
Kind regards, Wadhurst Manor team.

We moved my 91-year-old frail and seriously ill father to Wadhurst Manor, and I battle to find the right words to show our level of gratitude. This home is the most special place you will find. They cared for Dad like their own family. The leadership is organised and professional, and the staff are caring and kind. The level of empathy and support runs throughout the home. Dad sadly didn't pull through, but we have absolutely no doubt that he was in the best place when he passed away. I cannot recommend Wadhurst Manor enough. Although we moved Dad a little too late, it still feels like a safe place for my family and will hold a special place in our hearts. These people are angels on earth. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, and we are very grateful for the wonderful words expressed.
Lovely care home with a wonderful and dedicated team of staff. They have been great looking after my Mum and all the staff work hard to ensure she is cared for and comfortable. It's such a relief to know she is being so well looked after.

My husband aged 86 was seriously ill with Covid and Pneumonia and was in hospital for two weeks. When he was discharged I was very pleased to arrange for him to come to Wadhurst Manor, as I knew they had a good reputation locally. My son and I appreciated being able to visit him regularly and I was impressed with the care and sympathy shown by the staff. Unfortunately, he did not survive, but I was absolutely sure that he was in the best place possible and will always be grateful for their help.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to look after your husband. We hope to see you soon, take care.

My mum stayed at Wadhurst Manor for 3 weeks of respite care, she was very well cared for and took part in the activities which I am thrilled about. Mum has dementia and I know that this stimulation has helped her immensely, she has not been able to take part in her usual coffee mornings and bingo sessions at home due to the pandemic. The staff were wonderful with her and were very friendly and approachable. The management team were very efficient. Overall I am very pleased with Wadhurst Manor and hope that mum can stay again very soon.
We are so pleased that mum enjoyed her respite and we are more than happy to have her back in the future.
The staff at Wadhurst Manor care home are very good with my mum and are always kind and patient and go the extra mile to help her. The manager is excellent and I know I can always contact her easily and she is very helpful. I wish the staff had additional time to sit with my mum, but it is...
The staff at Wadhurst Manor care home are very good with my mum and are always kind and patient and go the extra mile to help her. The manager is excellent and I know I can always contact her easily and she is very helpful. I wish the staff had additional time to sit with my mum, but it is difficult as they are very busy. One of the caretakers is particularly kind and caring to my mum and takes every step to care for her well-being. I really appreciate all that the staff do at Wadhurst Manor Carehome. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the review and we are always thriving to improve our care and deliver great care to our residents.
I trust I will have many more happy experiences and joyous moments with my friend, and those that look after him so admirably.

Hi, my name is Zoe, and I am the Activities Lead at Wadhurst Manor.
I used to work with veterans for the Royal British Legion, and as an Art Studio Lead for a wonderful charity that built a village for people with learning disabilities.
I believe in the healing power of art; I feel strongly about building confidence and the wellness of our residents. My hobbies include Asian art and philosophy, acupuncture, yoga and martial arts. I believe art is a bridge that unites everyone, no matter the race, beliefs or religion.

My name is Anastasiia, and I am delighted to be the Admin Assistant here at Wadhurst Manor.
I bring a unique perspective to the administration team, as I previously worked as an Activities Coordinator in a residential setting and as a martial arts instructor. This background means I understand the high standards of person-centred care we strive for. Although my primary focus now is on organisation and office efficiency, I deeply value the warm and supportive environment we provide here.
On a personal note, I believe family is the most important thing, and spending time with my loved ones is my priority. I also enjoy my hobbies, which keep me active and focused, including reading, practising martial arts, and taking calming walks by the sea.
I look forward to supporting the community from behind the scenes and helping to make Wadhurst Manor a welcoming and efficient place for everyone.

Hello, my name is Audrey. I came to Wadhurst Manor in February 2023 for a short stay respite, I returned home, but within a week, I returned and became a permanent resident.
I missed being here, the friendly and helpful staff, the other residents and ability to socialise with everyone.
I can always be found busy doing something to help, or just walking in the gardens.

Having recovered from the serious accident I had, and due to the care I received from Wadhurst Manor Care Home, I now have some very special friends, which include the Staff and Carers, and lots of smiles around me.
If there is an odd job to be done and I can help, I feel I am still worth something.
I know, weather permitting, walk around the grounds each day – with my walker, breathing the fresh air. LUCKY ME!

Hello, I am Preye I am a Registered Nurse here and have been in this role since December of 2020.
I previously worked in Hospitals and care setting in America so this is a very different experience for me. One I am enjoying very much though. Our residents are just lovely and it is a pleasure caring for them.

I have worked at Wadhurst Manor in many different roles since December 2011.
Before this, I worked as a nurse(RGN), exercise to music and riding instructor and preschool supervisor.
I have 4 lovely children who are now grown up and travelling the world.
My hobbies include visiting my children, singing, dancing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, reading and amateur dramatics.
I find enabling residents to remain active and engaged both physically and mentally is a wonderfully rewarding job. I particularly enjoy working on our memory lane units becoming immersed in their realities, enabling them to live their best lives by concentrating on what they can do not what they can't.

Hello, my name is Alexandra, I am a Care Practitioner. My career in the medical and care fields started with my first training in care in 2016, later on, I decided to further my studies in a field which had long been interested me, this then brought me a diploma as a pharmacy nurse in 2018.
Since then I have realised that I want to further my career in care and so in 2023 I became a care practitioner at Wadhurst Manor, where I have been part of the team since 2020.
Together with the amazing team here I hope to provide the best care to both our residents and their friends and family for many more years.
