Care is good and staff are very friendly and helpful. My mother is well looked after which is what my brother and I wanted. It takes away the worry we had when she was living alone with carers coming in 3 times a day.

The care home is situated in a beautiful setting. When a resident fell over, the staff members were fantastic. One laid down on the floor to comfort the resident and to provide support. He was aided immediately and professionally and it gave me real reassurance in the high quality of care given here. My Great-Aunt is happy here, the staff treat her like an old friend. Absolutely fantastic care here.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We really appreciate your comments and will be sure to feed back your praise to the team.
I find the home very welcoming and homely place. The garden could do with a little TLC. The staff and nurses are very helpful but could have more activities on weekends and more trips out because my father loves to go out.

The staff are always friendly and helpful and the home feels welcoming. I am more than satisfied with the care that my friend receives. It is good to know that visiting is not restricted.

As a casual visitor from 'away', I am always impressed by Barchester homes (my mother was in a Barchester home also). My main observation of Wadhurst is that there always seems to be a shortage of staff. Staff at the home are always friendly and helpful in very difficult situations.

I was extremely likely to recommend this home in that I think the home is really nice and the carers are wonderful. Kind and patient and so dedicated - I have recommended 3 people and times it hasn't worked out.
So now I feel unlikely to recommend it.
Reason No 1 - On Amber, we have a resident who screams HELP almost continually.
Reason No 2 - Two ladies were frightened by another male resident.
Thank you for the review regarding Wadhurst Manor and also for taking the time to discuss your review with me . We clarified that this was a complaint/concern from last summer 2017 and not current.
I am pleased with the care my relative is receiving particularly in Amber Wing. The nursing and care team and their relationship with both myself and my relative has made this particular journey bearable.

My mother has been a resident of Wadhurst Manor for almost three years. She suffers from severe dementia. The care, during this time, has been excellent. On arrival her physical health was poor; she is now much improved. The nursing care has been exemplary. Wadhurst is a happy place and has contented residents. The range of activities ensures residents are happy and fulfilled.

It was a shock for my wife and me, as well as mum, for her to move to the dementia wing of a nursing home, but the staff at Wadhurst kindly helped the three of us with this transition. Now, when we take mum for a 'walk' she quickly asks to be taken back to her new friends. It means a lot to know...

Now, when we take mum for a 'walk' she quickly asks to be taken back to her new friends. It means a lot to know that she is being cared for so well - thank you.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review, it is appreciated. Your comments will be passed to our staff.
Mum has been in Memory Lane for over 2 years and as her needs have changed her care has always been actively discussed with us and our views sought. I believe Mum is in the best place and her care is consistently of a very high standard.

This is a large institution. All institutions suffer in one form or another from being such. This one less than most. My wife's ward seems very well organised and the institution almost is softened by the excellent performance of some/most of the staff. It has the appearance of being well kept and looked after by people who care about such things, as well as caring for the resident.

Soon tables loaded with food appeared I was one of the first to try this wonderful selection, not before I had 3 smoked salmon and cream cheese biscuits, I then chose more salmon, mango sausage rolls (excellent), herb chipolatas, pastry filled rolls and dips and my wife's favourite tiered cake stands with one bite chocolate eclairs and much more. While all the eating and drinking was going on amongst the chatter and conjure, our manager was busy socialising making sure her guests were happy and content.
Thank you very much for your lovely review , we are so pleased you enjoyed the Manager's Cocktail Party on December 1st.
I work as a volunteer reading aloud to residents. The home is always warm and welcoming, the staff extremely friendly and the residents happy and well cared for. I was invited to a volunteers Christmas lunch which was nicely cooked and cheerfully presented.

Management: Good in response to residents suggestions or complaints but carers at times spread too thinly on the ground. In addition, apart from pay and working conditions etc a well run organisation of any sort requires of management a caring attitude to employees, so that staff feel appreciated and have a sense that they are valued not just for the work they do but personally, this is particularly important in medical and social care sector (caring for the carers) my impression is that this is somewhat lacking here.
Food: An army marches on its stomach. This applies not just to the military services but especially to hospitals and care homes, whatever the disabilities of residents, whether physical, medical, mental or otherwise, this provision of a varied tasty diet is an essential ingredient. The CQC last year said this area required improvement. Apart from minor variations in menus this still applies. Some fundamental changes, though promised, have not yet been implemented. Moreover, the cooking skills of kitchen staff and the budget need upgrading.

Having viewed 10 care homes it was the only one that did not make me feel depressed but it is one of the most expensive care homes and there are areas for improvement.
Taste, as one of the primary senses which is often one of the last to go it seems sad that this is an area that needs improvement. There are excellent cakes and biscuits but the main diet is unvaried and one cannot live on sugar alone.
Smell, on my first visit I was delighted that it smelt clean and fresh, however, there have been times when the smell of urine in the corridors was very unpleasant.Care, the care staff are exceptional THANK YOU but staff numbers have been reduced (used to be two on duty now it can be one). This makes it harder for them to keep to the high standards they set and could be the reason for the above problem and a recent occurrence of no staff at all on the whole floor.

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 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.

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.
