Being a bit of a control freak I was reluctant to move to Wadhurst Manor but I have been agreeably surprised by the feeling of being at home, rather than in a home. The staff are all so friendly and helpful, without being officious and nothing is too much trouble. The food is always appetising and there is a wide choice including vegetarian and vegan (I think) options. My room is spacious, comfortably furnished, airy and clean. My request for a high-backed chair was met within hours! A credit to Wadhurst.
Thank you for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience at Wadhurst Manor and that we made you feel welcome. Our staff will definitely be happy when I share your comments with them.
They are very good living here. The entertainment is good, 5/5 treatment.

My Grandmother moved here from another home in August and she has been completely rehabilitated. When she moved she was unable to walk unaided, read or construct sentences. She can now do all of the above and is so happy again. She now has her sweet twinkly smile back. She is dressed beautifully every morning with much thought as she loves her jewellery, purple clothes and hair styled. I cannot thank the amazing carers on Amber Ward enough for what they have done for her and giving her the light back in her life. There is a kind carer who is out of this world and my grandmother absolutely adores her so thank you so much to this incredibly hardworking young lady. I always know when she’s working before I see her as my Grandmother is so alert and jolly.
Thank you so much again.
Thank you ever so much for your review. It means so much to us to know we are doing a good job and enhancing our residents lives. We will make sure to share this review with the team. Thanks once again.

No sitting in front of a TV all day here! The entertainment and activities are fab and include everyone with a wide variety of things to be involved in.
This goes hand in hand with all the great care they provide.
After worrying so much about Mum having to move to a home and whether she would settle, I am so pleased and relieved I found Wadhurst Manor.

The home is always very welcoming and friendly. The manager is always happy to see you and polite. The home is always clean and tidy. My grandad is a bit of a struggle to get up each day. But the care staff do the hardest to make sure he's up on time for lunch, where he eats a lovely nutritious meal with lots of choice. Overall since the new manager, I feel the home is positive and things are looking up. Would like to see more outings for the residents and wider choice of activity.
Thank you for your lovely review, we appreciate your feedback.
This facility is excellent, but what makes it so special is the care, attention, warmth and love of the staff. Having seen this for myself, I find it hard to put into words but my best description would be that the staff at Wadhurst Manor are an extended family.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to have your Mum here for some respite and we enjoy her visits on a Friday.

I particularly like the way they send people on their what when they have passed on, very moving. I hope that in future years, I will have a place at Wadhurst Manor.
Thank you for your kind comments, we will pass these onto the team. We always appreciate your feedback.

As a relative, I have been so impressed by the immediate feeling of warmth as you enter Wadhurst. The staff are unfailingly good-humoured and kind. They treat the residents with gentleness and bring a sense of fun into their lives. The activities, the seasonal decorations and the accessibility of the lounge/coffee area are all so important in bringing a lightness to the atmosphere.
Thank you for your lovely review.

I have noticed that staff are overstretched on the first floor. Two staff does not seem in my opinion enough, especially when one goes on break or is called elsewhere. Patients have to wait long periods at times for toilet assistance, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate your feedback. Please be assured that staffing levels are monitored daily.

I have found Wadhurst Manor to be a most welcoming home from the very beginning when my mother arrived in June for respite. Over the weeks she has been very well cared for and looks really well. I cannot fault any of the staff with their attentive manner to Mum and indeed helping me and answering any questions or concerns I may have in this settling in process. My only criticism would be that the bedrooms are rather dreary and dark and I feel not cleaned to a high standard. Regarding activities, I would like to see more outings and a little more going on at weekends. The gardens need a lot of attention as currently, they look a mess - in need of green fingers and TLC like the residents.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. You will notice that we have some decoration going on in the home at the moment and eventually all bedrooms will be refreshed. We also have a new member to our maintenance team, so the gardens will be receiving the TLC that they deserve.
A great relief to find a home with all staff dementia trained and secure, yet homely units for dementia residents. Good sized rooms and the ability to bring in your own familiar furniture and furnishings. Good range of activities and days out to choose from. Helpful and understanding staff.

Hello my name is Catalin.
I am the General Manager here at Wadhurst Manor and I look forward to welcoming you into our home.With over 15 years of experience in the care industry, I began my career as a nurse and have advanced through dedication and unwavering commitment. In 2018, I completed my NVQ Level 5 in Leadership, equipping me with the skills to lead effectively.
I am dedicated to nurturing, mentoring, and supporting my team to ensure the highest standard of care is provided to our residents, thereby enhancing the reputation of our service. With a hands-on approach, I treat residents with the same care and compassion as I would my own family.
I fully endorse Barchester's inspiring vision of celebrating life by enriching the lives of those in our care, maintaining the highest standards of quality, and fostering new beginnings and futures.
My door is always open, so please feel free to have a chat or enjoy a tea/coffee with me.

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.

Hi, I am Florin the Clinical Lead here at Wadhurst Manor Care Home. I graduated as a registered nurse in 2007. After graduation, I worked previously in an emergency hospital in Romania, I joined at Wadhurst Manor in 2020 as a senior nurse. In 2023, I was promoted to Clinical Lead.

Hi, I am Paul the Head of Maintenance at Wadhurst Manor.I started with the company in 2023. I am enjoying my role and no day is the same. I strive to keep the home environment up to the highest standard possible and to ensure that both residents and staff can enjoy their surroundings safely. During my free time, I like to stay active by cycling and riding my Motorbikes, of which I have three. I am also a beekeeper.
I have two children and four grandchildren. I look forward to assisting you all and helping with any maintenance needs in the home.

Hi, my name is Monica and I am a Senior Registered Nurse here at Wadhurst Manor.
I joined the team in June 2017. I qualified as a Nurse back in 2014 and worked for a few smaller companies previously. The team here are lovely to work with and we all have a great relationship.

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.

I started working in our sister home back in 2012. I transferred over to Wadhurst Manor in October 2020. My previous role was one of a college lecturer teaching young children painting, decorating and construction. Care is a very different role for me, but one I enjoy immensely. I enjoy making a difference to those that really need it.
