I have nothing but praise for the excellent team at Wadhurst Manor. Anyone who has had to make the decision to put a loved one into 24-hour care will know how devasting this can be. The team have looked after my dad as if he was their own relative. They welcomed him into their family and have dealt professionally and kindly with his inevitable settling in problems and confusion. My heartfelt thanks to them all.
Thank you so much for allowing us to look after your father, and we are really pleased with the feedback provided.
Dad had increasing nursing requirements, which could no longer be met at home. Due to Covid times, Dad went to Wadhurst Manor, which he had not seen.

Dad had increasing nursing requirements, which could no longer be met at home. Due to Covid times, Dad went to Wadhurst Manor, which he had not seen. He likened it to a hotel, he received a really great standard of care. The staff were very quick to react to any changes in his condition and get him additional professional help he required. As his condition deteriorated, he received compassionate, personable end of life care. This comfort and wellbeing were at the forefront of his care, and for this, I will always be grateful, especially in these times when we were completely relying on the staff.
It was our pleasure to look after your father
Kind regards.
I came here courtesy of the NHS and my social worker while waiting for my second operation to re-attach my hip to my pelvis. It is lovely here and I have been very well looked after. The food has been excellent and this staff are really nice, helpful and respectful.

Thank you so much for the five-star review. We are glad to hear that the care provided is outstanding and the food is excellent. Thank you.
My husband has been here for 2-years now, and I can honestly say I could not have been happier with everything about Wadhurst Manor. My sons totally agree with me.

Staff very friendly and helpfully attend to any needs. Nurses promptly answer or obtain answers to any medical problems and carefully watch that I safely self medicate. Variety of food is good and well cooked. I am quite happy here and enjoy many activities.

My husband has been diagnosed with Nonfluent Primary Progressive Aphasia which takes away many abilities including the ability to communicate. Therefore, it was a huge step for me to consider my husband going to a care home for respite especially in these current times. In the event, because of personal circumstances, my husband stayed at Wadhurst Manor for six weeks. I feel we were both dealt with kindly and with courtesy during this time. I was concerned and worried but I had advice and help where it was needed. My husband has indicated he enjoyed his holiday, particularly the food! I know how hard-pressed the staff are, dealing with dementia clients but I feel my husband had good care and has come home happy and content.
Hope to see you both again soon and stay safe.
For the short time, my husband was in Wadhurst Manor, the attention and care received was excellent. Also, the kindness and support given to myself and son by the management was beyond excellent.

All during the lockdown period my husband has been continuously cared for and looked after in a most professional manner. He is a long term resident and has always been treated as one of the Wadhurst Manor family. It is his home and I am reassured that even when circumstances as now only allow outside, supervised visits, he remains settled, seems happy and content. I cannot thank the staff enough.
The staff and level of care is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for them; always happy and cheerful.

Following a very serious illness last year, the very hard decision came to put my dear mother into care where I knew she would receive the help she now needed. After an extensive search, I found Wadhurst Manor care home, where to my great relief; mother has settled into like a duck in water. I haven’t seen her this settled and happy for years. It is a great comfort to me, especially at this present unsettling time to I know 100% that my mother is safe and being looked after by the fantastic team. The staff work tirelessly to keep the residents fed and watered, clean and healthy and very much entertained... I am very grateful to you all; thank you?
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, we love having Mum live with us and like you said she has taken to life here like a duck to water. We will say a big hello from you.
The care staff were very understanding and attentive to my husband's likes and interests even thinking to take him on an outing to the local fire station (he's an ex-firefighter). Played the music he loves. The visiting therapy animals were wonderful as well.

Thank you very much, Julie, for your positive feedback. Your husband really enjoyed his time at Wadhurst Manor, especially visiting the local fire station. We will be happy to welcome him next time he comes back for another break.
My husband became a resident this week and my family and I have been absolutely blown away by the professional, caring and friendly staff which enabled my husband to settle in so well. The whole process could not possibly have gone smoother and we are so grateful to the manager and his wonderful...
His room is very clean and spacious, the food is nutritious and delicious/nutritious and the daily activities he has enjoyed this week were plentiful, enjoyable and stimulating.
I was dreading how my husband would feel once he became a resident and I can honestly say the management and staff could not have done anything more or better and it is wonderful to know that my husband is now safe and so well cared for.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Barchester Wadhurst Manor.
Thank you for the great review. The team at Wadhurst Manor is thrilled that you are happy with the care we are providing to your husband. We work really hard to ensure we deliver excellent care to our residents and also offering a great service in all other departments.
This has been my husbands first respite break. I left him knowing he would be safe and well looked after and he was. Thank you all so much.

Unfortunately, when we came to collect my aunt to take her home she was still in bed. This was due to lack of communication but the carer on duty soon got her up and ready to leave. The carer was not aware my aunt was leaving on that day.
Thank you Lydia for your invaluable feedback. I am pleased to note that your Aunt had a lovely time during her respite period over Christmas, but I am sorry that there was a lack of communication when you came to collect your Aunt. We will review our handover procedure to ensure this does not happen again. We look forward to meeting her again.
Very friendly home. Staff work very hard and are very helpful. Residents are well cared for. There is a full programme of activities. Food smells and looks good. Rooms are very spacious.

Thank you Diane for your encouraging feedback. I am pleased that you are happy with our care for your friend and we will continue to provide excellent care to our residents. I will relay these comments to the team.
I have not yet been in the home for 10 days, so it is a bit early to express an opinion.

I am the deputy manager here at Wadhurst Manor, I have worked in Barchester for 7 years and have been a registered nurse for 9 years. I have recently been working as a peripatetic nurse within our 2 sister homes but in April 2020 I was promoted to Clinical Lead based at Wadhurst Manor. I enjoy working with the team here and supporting them in any way possible. I am very passionate about my job and I need to know my residents are receiving high-quality care.

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.
