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.

Christmas Wreath Making Workshop
Well what a festive morning of making Christmas Wreaths for our doors.
We had the the very talented florist Lucy from Florist On The Farm in to take the workshop.
With her guidance and our natural creative flare we made some fantastic wreaths and had so much fun doing it.
The Christmas songs were playing in the background and the fire was roaring.
Our way of saying thank you to the community
Every week we are delivering a tasty warm lunch to healthcare professionals and businesses in the Local community.
We appreciate how hard everyone works and as a treat our Chefs are preparing nutritious and tasty homemade soups for all to enjoy at lunchtime.
This week Sam, Home Services Advisor and Sue, Activities Coordinator visited Buxted, East Hoathly and Horam Medical Centres
With East Hoathly being the first one.
We hope you all enjoyed your lunch and thank you for all that you do to support us and everyone in the local community.
Front row seats to East Hoathly famous bonfire party and parade
All we can say is wow! As expected, it did not disappoint. Almost all of our residents chose to join us to watch the parade, we had hot chocolate and tea to warm ourselves up and thankfully the rain stayed away.
It was such a fun evening with lots of dancing to the silver bands and drums.
Guy Fawkes Creation
Anyone remember our Guy Fawkes? Well we've only one FIRST prize in the East Hoathly & Halland Carnival Society Guy competition. Well done to Sue Bowers our wonderful activities coordinator. And of course our very talented residents for all their creative guidance.
Fun Fitness With Karla
Today we had Karla in for morning exercise. Karla uses footballs in her exercise classes.
Residents had great fun doing all the moves and there was lots of laughter as the balls did not always play ball and were bouncing all over the place.
Such a relaxed and fun way to do exercise. Really helps with the body and mind when something is enjoyable.
