Meet The Manager

Jean Reeves-Yates is Manager at Iden Manor Nursing Home.

Iden Manor is a very special part of a family-owned and run business, with the unswerving dedication of family members who are actively involved in providing the very best care for the elderly, frail and vulnerable.

This lovely home was established in 2003. From the very beginning it has been run with a focus on quality in all things, and we ensure that focus is maintained through developing a high degree of quality awareness in all of the people who work here. We achieve this through providing assured, sensitive leadership and management, and well-structured on-going training for everyone.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Telephone for external calling

Our care home provides a telephone in some of our residents’ rooms.

Our Building and Facilities

Imagine the quintessential Victorian mansion with its magnificent turrets, gables, doorways, and vast windows looking out onto beautiful grounds that provide a haven for wildlife.

Imagine well-tended gardens, quiet seclusion, places to walk, places to sit, views that sustain and space to breathe.

Imagine magnificent and spacious reception rooms – one with wood panelled walls, an open fire in winter and comfy chairs whatever the time of year. Or another with floor-to-ceiling bay windows looking out onto the grounds where birds, squirrels, rabbits, foxes and badgers create a marvellous spectacle throughout the day.

Iden Manor is that place: an impressively spacious, light and airy Victorian mansion set in 15 acres of landscaped grounds and approached by a long leafy drive.

And yet despite the grandeur of the building, it offers a warm and familiar welcome and has a comfortable, lived-in-and-loved feel to it.

There is also a hairdressing salon and a laundry room – and plenty of additional bathrooms .

Adding to the charm and grandeur of the building, a wide staircase with impressive balustrade rises from the panelled reception room below – there’s a platform lift for those less able to walk – and an adjoining lift for those who need to use a wheelchair.

The Iden Side

This is situated in the original part of the mansion. It is designed for elderly people who are becoming frail but who, though they increasingly need support, may still have a degree of independence and certainly the desire and intention to live their life to the full as they choose.

Residents here have access to the wider grounds that surround the house and many people enjoy spending time in the gardens. In addition to their own sizeable bedroom (which they can personalise as they choose), they have a choice of reception rooms – deliberately designed to be of varying character and atmosphere – and a small library. The dining room is spacious and bright – it too looks out over the wonderful grounds.

The Good Shepherd - Dementia Care Wing 

Positioned adjacent to The Iden Side, this is a tailored unit designed specifically for Dementia patients and thus focused on providing the safety, comfort and security which encourages happiness and contentment. With a ratio of 19 residents to staff reviewed regularly, residents can be given the focus and attention they need.

In addition to individual bedrooms, The Good Shepherd also has communal living and dining areas, as well as numerous additional bathroom facilities. It also has two secure garden areas for those residents who enjoy spending time outside.

Activities Are So Important

It is well known that social activity is an essential element of continued well-being, so at Iden Manor we take fun, stimulation and involvement pretty seriously – but with a big smile on our faces.

Residents have access to a small library and anyone can have a regular newspaper delivery and/or a television in their room (in addition to the big screen in the lounge), but we believe in encouraging interaction and involvement.  To help this happen, we have a wonderful team of people dedicated to designing and delivering a programme of activities that meets the differing needs of our residents.

The Activities Programme includes therapeutic activities such as musical exercise and fitness, as well as familiar quizzes, musical entertainment, visiting performers and games – all provided at no additional charge.

Creating a ‘life history’ book is immensely popular with residents and their families. One of our Activities Team will work closely with a resident encouraging them to recall and record significant life events and memories… elderly people are very reliant on their memories and they love to talk about them so to be able to create a record is very special – for their families too.

Residents also enjoy planned theme days every month where we all celebrate significant calendar and seasonal events. These are immensely popular and are often linked to craft activities, making things for those events.

There are also numerous outings planned throughout the year; a visit to the seaside down at Hastings is always well-subscribed and our wheelchair-accessible minibus is an essential facility. We also involve the wider community in arranging appropriate and meaningful events, so there is plenty to do.

Participation in activities is recorded in the individual care records – a thoughtful feature for families because when they come to visit, they can easily find out what their mum or dad, husband or wife has been involved in and it provides an additional talking point.
