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.

Staplehurst Manor has a warm and welcoming feel from the moment you walk through the door. You can tell the staff really care about the residents and are passionate about their work. I only popped in to visit a friend but I know where I want my mum to love when she needs care and support- Staplehurst
Manor!

I visited my mother in the home last month coming from the US. I really thought my mother would struggle with the transition from living with family to moving into a home. The home has made her very welcome and she is really enjoying being there and participating in the amazing variety of activities
that are arranged by the home. The best part for us is seeing the almost daily photos of my mother and her co-residents really enjoying their days. We live in the States but can see her almost daily! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is top-notch also! Couldn't have asked for a better place for our mum.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Staplehurst Manor Care Home

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's wonderful to hear that our staff are going above and beyond to make sure you are kept up to date with your mother's daily activities and that you feel at ease having her in our care. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.

I spent two weeks in respite while my family were away. The staff were kind, friendly and efficient and the food was very good - a bit too generous with cream though. The bedroom was small but adequate for a short stay. Overall, a happy experience and activities were good.

My stay has been a pleasant experience helping me recover from heart surgery.
I have been provided a good choice of food at each mealtime. My family and friends have been welcome when visiting. Lots of activities are made available.
My room very light and pleasant with views over the garden. Kept
very clean by staff who were always polite and cheerful. My one negative is; I did not always have a cup/pot of tea requested, this was am, afternoon and pm to different members of staff, a small issue but I do like my tea.

My mum spent her last month here and I cannot thank the staff and home for their kindness, care and respect shown to us as a family and to Mum.
Making a decision as to where Mum should go from hospital was one of the hardest decisions we had to make as a family and so glad we sent Mum here, from the
warm welcome we received on the 1st visit to the funeral day we left when Mum passed.
Food amazing. Activities brilliant, should residents want to join in. Lounge area and garden beautiful and the live singers are an amazing touch to the care and entertainment to residents.
Thank you so much for the love and care you showed us all, especially Mum. It was and will always be appreciated. You are all so hardworking and have hearts of gold.

My overall experience has been very positive. I have been touched by the care I have received from the carers, very often young girls who have come from very different backgrounds.
While there are points where I feel could be improved, there is an overall attempt by the staff to care for us and respond
to our needs. In particular, I receive a great deal of help from the daily excersies, which are essential to my regaining mobility. These are well planned and carried out are, indeed, provide an excellent element of interest in daily life.

What a wonderful home the Manor is - we have known about it for many years as we lived in the village. We, therefore, had no hesitation about enquiring about a room for Mother and were delighted that there was a room available - even in the middle of lockdown!
The staff are absolutely wonderful and
always go the "extra mile" when needs change and become more challenging.
Thank you for all you do!

My late mother spent the last three years of her life at Staplehurst Manior. From the outset, the staff were very caring, kind and professional. She was very happy there, and her room as well as all the communal areas were kept spotlessly clean. The atmosphere was a happy one, with residents encouraged
to participate together in various activities to help with their stay. My wife and I fully recommend this home and its incredible staff. We thank them for their kindness to Mum, who I know appreciated their help. Thank you!

My mother went into Staplehurst Manor in July 2020 with the expectation she didn't have long to live. With the excellent care and support given by the staff there, my mother flourished, and the last two years of her life were spent very comfortably and happily. I am very grateful for the diligence and
cheerfulness of the staff, who were always welcoming when we visited. In my opinion, this care home is without fault.

If you or your relative are considering a move into a residential home then I couldn't recommend Staplehurst Manor highly enough. It has the feel of a four-star hotel having been recently refurbished. I was able to choose the new colour of my bedroom and the soft furnishings and there is currently a

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.

In my own time, I enjoy music, singing and dancing as well as more logical-based hobbies like puzzles and even studying.

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.
