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.

My thanks to the wonderful team at Staplehurst Manor Care Home. My uncle moved in during 2023 and was very happy there. He trusted the staff, whom he said just 'quietly got things done'.
From my perspective, I liked the fact that they talked to him not me, about what he wanted. It was one of the only
places that did that when we looked at homes with him.
He did like the aesthetics of the manor buildings, he was rather delighted to live in a manor. Although he had a very small room, it had a lovely outlook over the garden. Although he could have moved to a larger room, he decided not to, and personalised his with his pictures, books, ornaments, and wine rack!
Throughout his time there he had support for his many particular interests including helping setting up his attendance at his beloved online lectures. He appreciated the outside grounds and enjoyed the poetry sessions in particular. He said that the food was in abundance and the homemade cakes.

My Mother is very happy at Staplehurst Manor Care Home.
All the staff are friendly and kind, they all appear to really enjoy their work and it shows with the care they show the residents.
The food is delicious and the chef speaks to all the residents individually to plan their week's meal.
The activities
are well thought out and include everyone no matter what their mobility is.

My Dad was discharged from Tunbridge Wells Hospital to Staplehurst Manor Care Home for end-of-life care. With his determination and their excellent care we were able to bring him home at the end of June 2024 as he wanted to be in his own home. He is still doing remarkably well 3 months on. I can't thank
the staff enough for their help and kindness and for helping us through the maze of organising a care package at home.

My husband spent three weeks here recovering after a month in the hospital. The care he received was mostly excellent and he was made very welcome. There is a lovely community feel to the place. The food was very good and I was able to join him for lunch whenever I asked (at £15) The grounds are lovely
and sitting outside when the weather allowed was a delight. My husband's room was very small but for just three weeks that wasn't a problem.

Reply from Rosie Smith, Customer Advisor at Staplehurst Manor Care Home

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave the staff at Staplehurst Manor such a lovely review. We are thrilled to hear that your husband received excellent care within the home and that you felt it had a "lovely community feel".

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.606)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.606) out of 10 for Staplehurst Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.606 for Staplehurst Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (131 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 414 Ratings = 4.606

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Staplehurst Manor Care Home is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
