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.

Minibus Drive
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside….
At Lydfords we are very fortunate to have some stunning scenery right on our doorstep.
Residents have been out enjoying the views on a drive in the minibus.
Our residents had a fabulous time and it’s helped them with their well-being, being near the sea and getting a beautiful change of scenery can always help the soul, from the stunning views of the South Downs to the rugged South Coast and down along the seafront past Eastbourne Pier.
Minibus trips are scheduled a few times a month to ensure all residents who want to participate, can!
