When we viewed Wadhurst Manor we were all impressed with the personal attentiveness of many staff. This was a feature during her stay that sadly was only several weeks she died in her sleep. She was looked after really well. We marked all parameters very highly except value for money since we realise that good nursing care should be expensive but we felt the admission administration fee of £3000 was excessive.
It was kind of you to take the time to comment on the home thank you.

Since dad's arrival at Wadhurst Manor, he has been treated with dignity and compassion. His room is light, airy and comfortable. As a family we are impressed with the care and commitment of all staff, nothing is too much trouble. There are many fun activities which dad has been gently encouraged to attend and has enjoyed. In dad's own words "staff are all very helpful, friendly and extremely kind."
Thank you very much for your kind comments and we will pass them onto the team.

Wadhurst Manor is well run and provides a high standard of care. It goes beyond the minimum of doing 'just enough'. Staff are hard-working and show real commitment to residents' wellbeing. A family can be sure that nursing staff know the resident well enough to be able to identify and address problems, should the need arise. Dementia care, in particular, is of a high standard.
Thank you for your very kind response I will pass this on to the staff.
It just shows how a good care home can be run.

Very impressed with Wadhurst care home. The grounds are attractive, tidy and well maintained. Cosmetically, the home is of a very high standard. The interior is spacious, light and tastefully decorated. Residents have a wide range of activities to participate in each week or can opt to have quiet times. 1:1 life at Wadhurst is fun and active. Menus are designed to take residents likes/dislikes into consideration - based on fresh produce, cooked to high quality. The staff, management, nurses, carers, catering and activities are what makes the home - creating a warm, family feeling in the home, whilst delivering professional, high-quality person-centred care.

My mother is very happy at Wadhurst Manor Care Home. She has been there for two and a half years. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and caring. The only let down is the agency staff that unfortunately have to be employed because of the shortfall in permanent staff. A problem throughout the rest of the UK.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. My granny has been really looked after and made to feel welcome. The carers are truly caring. There are so many options of activities and every day, there is always something to look forward to. Thank you.

My brother has lived happily at Wadhurst Manor for nearly 5 years now. He was very poorly when he arrived and unable to look after himself anymore. With loving care and interest in him as an individual, Wadhurst Manor has made a new man of him!
He says he feels part of a community - not only the community of the home, where he has made real friends amongst the other residents, staff and volunteers, but also of the wider village community.
Wadhurst Manor is very good at involving the village in activities it organises and connecting with the local U3A, the parish church and schools and youth groups. I'd say the quality of my brother's life has improved and his social world has enlarged at a time when he might have had a very bad outlook indeed, and Wadhurst Manor is to be heartily thanked for this transformation.
Thank you Maggie for your kind observations of Wadhurst Manor.
I can't fault anything. All the carers, nursing staff, admin staff are kind and caring and efficient. I am sure that this must be due to the management at Wadhurst Manor who is always present to discuss issues. Wadhurst Manor is clean, welcoming and a pleasure to visit. Well done to everyone...

This is the third time I've been to Wadhurst Manor. Generally I'm happy to stay there but I do think standards have fallen, reduced staff, too many agency workers.

This is the third time I've been to Wadhurst Manor. Generally I'm happy to stay there but I do think standards have fallen, reduced staff, too many agency workers. They try hard but need more training. The long term staff cannot be faulted. Management are very good but I feel their hands are tied in regards to finance. I was in business for fifty years and know expenditure has to be in check. But I learnt a lot that sometimes cutting back on wages can be sighted.
The homes staffing levels and training are in line with industry guidelines and are variable in accordance with the needs of the residents.
We are also pleased to confirm that despite the economical challenges we were able to increase our staff pay rates going forward.

Professional management team who assessed my mother in hospital with very little notice. Staff always friendly, chat and helpful. A good size balcony on the dementia wing (memory lane) so residents can safely go outside. Baskets along the hallways with items for residents (handbags, hats, teddies etc). Full activity programme every day. The setting is very nice with secure gardens open for residents to walk out in. Chef has made something my father wanted.
The staff at Wadhurst Manor have shown considerate patience, understanding and support for what has been a very difficult time for our family. Their level of care, food and surroundings are all excellent.

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.

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.

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.
