Activities at Wadhurst Manor 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.
On a weekly basis we have many visitors to the home from the people like the University of the Third age and local small animal farms, who bring in their chickens and sheep. We also like to go out shopping and on day trips to local garden centres and when the weather is good picnics and tours of the beautiful local countryside. We have speciality days at the home which could be a theme of a country, or for specific times of year, including Halloween, Bonfire Night or Christmas. We have card games and art classes and a serious knitting team in the home who produce blankets and premature baby clothes for the local maternity unit.
Zoe Aldea
Hi, my name is Zoe and I am the Activities Lead at Wadhurst Manor.
I used to work with veterans for the Royal British Legion, and as an Art Studio Lead for a wonderful charity that built a village for people with learning disabilities.
I believe in the healing power of art, I feel strongly about building confidence and the wellness of our residents. My hobbies include Asian art and philosophy, acupuncture, yoga and martial arts. I believe art is a bridge that unites everyone no matter the race, beliefs or religion.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Wadhurst Manor Care Home
Classical music by candlelight
Our favourite violin player, Daniil, enchanted us with an Andre Rieu-style concert by candlelight.
Such a dreamy and moving atmosphere, we felt like we were in paradise!
Music for health interactive session
Heather from Music for Health, came to us and held an interactive session on Memory Lane, bringing a session filled with music, percussion, dancing, quizzes and a sing-a-long.
We had a blast, and can’t wait for her to visit us again!
World Bee Day
Our Head of Maintenance Paul, an avid bee keeper came with all his equipment and demonstrated how to take care of a bee hive, bringing bee products and talking about the fascinating little insects that produce honey.
Very interesting afternoon, we learned so much!
Royal Ascot Ladies' Day!
We celebrated Royal Ascot Ladies Day with a cream tea party, live swing music and dancing. We wore our best attire and felt elegant and mysterious with our fascinators.
Our chef spoiled us with a fruit platter and fresh scones, and the energy was high!
Heartwarming day at The Sacred Heart
Our residents looked forward to their visit to Welcome Spaces at Sacred Heart!
The afternoon is always filled with great conversations, laughter and lots of cake!
