I have found Wadhurst Manor to be a most welcoming home from the very beginning when my mother arrived in June for respite. Over the weeks she has been very well cared for and looks really well. I cannot fault any of the staff with their attentive manner to Mum and indeed helping me and answering any
questions or concerns I may have in this settling in process. My only criticism would be that the bedrooms are rather dreary and dark and I feel not cleaned to a high standard. Regarding activities, I would like to see more outings and a little more going on at weekends. The gardens need a lot of attention as currently, they look a mess - in need of green fingers and TLC like the residents.

Reply from Hollee Ralph, Administrator at Barchester Wadhurst Manor

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. You will notice that we have some decoration going on in the home at the moment and eventually all bedrooms will be refreshed. We also have a new member to our maintenance team, so the gardens will be receiving the TLC that they deserve.

A great relief to find a home with all staff dementia trained and secure, yet homely units for dementia residents. Good sized rooms and the ability to bring in your own familiar furniture and furnishings. Good range of activities and days out to choose from. Helpful and understanding staff.

Care is good and staff are very friendly and helpful. My mother is well looked after which is what my brother and I wanted. It takes away the worry we had when she was living alone with carers coming in 3 times a day.

The care home is situated in a beautiful setting. When a resident fell over, the staff members were fantastic. One laid down on the floor to comfort the resident and to provide support. He was aided immediately and professionally and it gave me real reassurance in the high quality of care given here.
My Great-Aunt is happy here, the staff treat her like an old friend. Absolutely fantastic care here.

As a casual visitor from 'away', I am always impressed by Barchester homes (my mother was in a Barchester home also). My main observation of Wadhurst is that there always seems to be a shortage of staff. Staff at the home are always friendly and helpful in very difficult situations.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was extremely likely to recommend this home in that I think the home is really nice and the carers are wonderful. Kind and patient and so dedicated - I have recommended 3 people and times it hasn't worked out.


So now I feel unlikely to recommend it.


Reason No 1 - On Amber, we have a resident

who screams HELP almost continually.


Reason No 2 - Two ladies were frightened by another male resident.

My mother has been a resident of Wadhurst Manor for almost three years. She suffers from severe dementia. The care, during this time, has been excellent. On arrival her physical health was poor; she is now much improved. The nursing care has been exemplary. Wadhurst is a happy place and has contented
residents. The range of activities ensures residents are happy and fulfilled.

It was a shock for my wife and me, as well as mum, for her to move to the dementia wing of a nursing home, but the staff at Wadhurst kindly helped the three of us with this transition. Now, when we take mum for a 'walk' she quickly asks to be taken back to her new friends. It means a lot to know that
she is being cared for so well - thank you.

This is a large institution. All institutions suffer in one form or another from being such. This one less than most. My wife's ward seems very well organised and the institution almost is softened by the excellent performance of some/most of the staff. It has the appearance of being well kept and looked
after by people who care about such things, as well as caring for the resident.

Frosted brimmed filled wine glasses greeted us on arrival, guests, residents and carers appeared and soon everyone was chatting, what a convivial party it was.
Soon tables loaded with food appeared I was one of the first to try this wonderful selection, not before I had 3 smoked salmon and cream cheese
biscuits, I then chose more salmon, mango sausage rolls (excellent), herb chipolatas, pastry filled rolls and dips and my wife's favourite tiered cake stands with one bite chocolate eclairs and much more. While all the eating and drinking was going on amongst the chatter and conjure, our manager was busy socialising making sure her guests were happy and content.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.697)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.697) out of 10 for Barchester Wadhurst Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.697 for Barchester Wadhurst Manor is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.697

  • 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 Barchester Wadhurst Manor is based on 19 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 19 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.

I am a resident here at Wadhurst Manor, I moved in July 2019. Since moving here I have made some lovely friends. I enjoy meeting new people and everyone here is so friendly and the staff have also become my friends. I really enjoy helping them out with odd jobs and meeting new guests in the home.
