Activities at Lydfords Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Bingo Night!
East Hoathly And Halland Carnival
Staff and residents at Lydfords in East Hoathly joined in with the celebrations at the East Hoathly and Halland Carnival last Saturday on the 9th November.
The residents were invited to judge the children’s fancy dress competition and award the winners. Everyone made such an effort and it was a very difficult decision.
Everyone then took to their seats at the end of Lydfords driveway to watch as the procession went past the home.
Glyndebourne Opera Perform At Lydfords
We were very lucky this week to welcome back the Glyndebourne Musicians for a fantastic afternoon .
The musicians brought a new work about wartime heroine and Sussex resident Dame Vera Lynn to Lydfords for Armistice Day.
The afternoon took inspiration from the letters sent to Dame Vera Lynn during her BBC radio show, Sincerely Yours, which began in 1941.
Residents took turns in opening the letters, they were then read out by Vera who then sang a song in between each one.
It was a wonderful afternoon and enjoyed by everybody. Thank you to all the musicians for coming.

Celebrating 3 Years At Lydfords!
Staff, residents and guests commemorated this special occasion with live music, drinks, delicious food and a visit from the Uckfield Mayor, who did the honour of cutting the cake.
Lydfords has built up excellent reputations within its local communities. The home regularly holds events and activities for its residents and surrounding neighbours. The building was originally constructed in 1876 and was formerly a family home.
General Manager, Robert said: “It is important to recognise the hard work of our staff here at Lydfords. For the past 3 years, we have provided a caring home for our residents as well as the best possible environment for our staff. Today not only enables us to celebrate their hard work, but it's also an opportunity to thank the residents, their relatives and friends who have made Lydfords such a loving home.”
