Activities at Lydfords Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Life at Lydfords Care Home
Dedicated Followers Of Fashion!
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Lydfords care home in East Hoathly had a brilliant time celebrating London Fashion Week by hosting their very own Fashion Show.
Staff, residents and their family at Lydfords Care Home used London Fashion Week as a great excuse to have their own one. Models got to choose from three categories to inspire their outfits. The show was compered by the Uckfield Town Crier. The afternoon was a huge success and everyone enjoyed watching the show and taking part.
General Manager, Anthony, said: “Our residents loved taking part in the show and choosing their favourite outfits to wear. It was so nice to see the staff and family members getting involved too. There was a real buzz in the air. it was wonderful to see the whole coming together for the event and we can’t wait to another one.”
Framfield Stagers Present
Gardening Club Has Begun
Now the weather is improving and the rain has decided to take a break. We wanted to make the most of it. The opportunity lent itself to be the perfect time to get out in the garden and get on top of weeding and planting.
Our residents love to be outside in the garden as much as possible and there is nothing better than having beautiful flowers to enjoy looking at whilst sitting there with a drink.
Its Quiz Time!!
Burns Night Celebrations
Lydfords care home in East Hoathly prepared a traditional Burns Night Supper to the tune of bagpipes and the fun continued well into the night.
Staff and residents at the home were involved in a number of activities, learning the art of Scottish Country Dancing and the Ceilidh to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding race’ – the haggis.
General Manager, Anthony, at Lydfords, thought it was a perfect occasion to celebrate an evening steeped in age-old tradition as well as getting in a spot of Scotch whisky tasting and reading a selection of Burns’ poems.
