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
Message for the community
Staff and residents worked hard on creating this lovely banner to place outside the home. They wanted to let everyone know that they are safe and well at this hard time.
Tea Day & Queens Birthday Celebrations
It was double celebrations for the residents as we celebrate both National Tea Day and the Queens Birthday. We were treated to a gift box of speciality tea's from around the world, biscuits and other sweet treats. Residents spent the afternoon, with puzzles, royal memorabilia and a good old fashioned sing song round the piano.
A Big Thank you.
We have been so overwhelmed recently by members of our local community. We have received letters of kindness, flowers and treats for staff. So we wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone that has taken the time to reach out to us. We are all doing well and your generosity means so much.
Easter Bunny
The Easter bunny came with goodies for everyone. Staff made sure that everyone had a delicious chocolate treat to enjoy with a nice cup of tea.
Easter messages to loved ones
What a lovely Easter weekend we all had, Everyone spent time connecting with loved ones. Whether it was via telephone, Skype or good old fashioned letter writing. They made Easter art and had a traditional afternoon tea in the garden. It wasn't our usual fanfare but everyone enjoyed it all the same.
Welcomed Furry Friend
Everyday we are joined by this bundle of fun. He belongs to our Deputy Manager and has been in the home everyday since he was a tiny puppy. He brings so much joy to our residents always, but especially now as they are missing their own families furry friends coming in for a visit. Frank is always around and on hand to have a cuddle.
