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 aunt became a resident in mid-September 2024, having broken her hip in a fall at home and subsequent surgery in late August. At 97, with increasing sight and hearing deficiencies, she has settles in well having been used to living on her own for 5 years after being widowed. The staff are caring,
the home is almost spotless and the rooms are spacious.

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.

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.

Joined: 2020

I joined the team at Staplehurst Manor in 2020.


I had previously worked in Nuffield and had experience working in care homes before I made the switch to Bupa.


I took to Staplehurst Manor because the residents and staff have great relationships and I enjoy being a part of making them happy.


I love spending time with my friends and I'm also married with one son. My favourite hobby is cooking and I even grow my own plants and vegetables.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2000

I have worked in Staplehurst Manor since 2017, and I began my career with Bupa in 2000. I started as a carer and progressed through different roles.


My previous job roles include carer, senior carer, team leader, deputy unit manager, unit manager and home manager.


My career in the sector began as an Auxiliary Nurse in a hospital. I was in this role for 3 years and left to start a family. When my youngest child turned 9, returned to work as a carer in a Bupa Care Home.


I was one of the first carers to complete their NVQ as they were introduced right as I began my role as a carer, and it gave me the opportunity to travel around other Bupa Care Homes as an NVQ assessor which was a great experience.


I always go home feeling proud that I have provided a service that makes someone feel safe and happier.


When I began to work at Staplehurst Manor, I fell in love with the area and the countryside so I decided to move close to the home where I now live with my family.
