Activities at Wadhurst Manor Care Home
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.

Life at Wadhurst Manor Care Home
Sherry O' Clock
After an afternoon of gentle excercises in the garden. The sun took its toll so into the lounge and there is always time for a nice glass of sherry before supper.
Special Birthdays
Wadhurst Manor like to make a fuss of everyone, especially birthdays. The whole home had a nice afternoon in the garden enjoying the sunshine, listening to their favourite music, a tipple of their choice. With enough cake for everyone.
Keeping Connected
We know how important it is to stay connected to loved ones at this time and always. Our tablet makes it way round the home on a daily basis making sure everyone gets a chance for that special chat.
True Community Spirit on Nurses Day
A local restaurant delivered hot meals and desserts to all of the staff at Wadhurst Manor. They know how hard everyone is working and wanted to give something back. The community plays a big part of life at the home. It was a lovely gesture and made everyone feel special on National Nurses Day.
Reminiscing on VE Day
Wadhurst Manor Celebrated 75 years of VE Day, With a reminiscence afternoon. Many residents shared their stories of the past. A few even had memorabilia from that time. Ration books, medals and lots more. Everyone raised a glass for those that had lost their lives and then remembered the good times too.
90th Birthday Celebrations
Birthday celebrations were in full swing for this lovely lady. She received deliveries of balloons, presents, and a stunning cake complete with sparklers. We had afternoon tea complete with prosecco of course. Family members also called and celebrated via modern technology.
