Staplehurst Manor is a beautiful home, which welcomes anyone in need of nursing or residential care, including those living with Parkinson’s. Nurses are on duty at all times for residents in need of nursing care, which is particularly helpful if their condition requires regular medical attention.
They're in a picturesque spot between the High Wield and the Kent Downs, both areas of outstanding natural beauty and surrounded by open fields and woodland, but Staplehurst village is just a mile away. There you’ll find shops, pubs, churches and a library.
The house is beautifully decorated and furnished, with high ceilings and lots of natural light. There are lovely arched windows, parquet floors, stained glass and a sweeping staircase.
There are lots of places to relax here. Residents can have a little pampering in the salon, settle down quietly with a book, or catch up with a loved one over coffee and cake in one of the lounges. Outside, they can enjoy very large grounds, where there’s a courtyard garden with a pretty fishpond and terrace. There’s also a wildlife pond, and peaceful woodland walks for those who are able.
This is a warm and friendly community, not only for residents but for their friends and family, too. The activity coordinator makes sure there’s something for everyone, including those who are less mobile.
They prepare delicious meals which residents can enjoy in their beautiful, spacious dining room or in the comfort of their own room. There are plenty of favourites on their menu, with themed meals for special occasions.
