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

Did Someone Say Mobile Library?
This wonderful initiative has sparked joy and enthusiasm among our residents, who are diving into the world of books and stories. With a diverse selection of genres and titles, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
It’s heart-warming to see the smiles as our residents explore new adventures and reconnect with their favourite authors. The Portable Library not only fosters a love for reading but also encourages social interactions as residents share their favourite finds.
Weekly Quiz With Kirsten
Our residents are having a blast at our weekly quiz sessions with our dedicated volunteer, Kirsten! This fun-filled activity has quickly become a highlight of the week, with everyone eagerly participating and enjoying some friendly competition.
It’s a fantastic way for our residents to connect, share laughs, and showcase their knowledge. The energy and enthusiasm are contagious, making every session memorable!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
It's Panto Season!
This week, residents enjoyed a special performance of Aladdin.
With amazing team work, they took 10 residents in two minibuses and a packed supper to watch Stonegate Amateur Dramatics dress rehearsal.
Everyone tucked into dinner as they watched the amazing performance. It was a fantastic evening and resident said, it was the best thing they had seen in a very long time.
Thank you Stonegate Amateur Dramatics for this wonderful opportunity.
