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
Musical Magic
A local singer entertained residents and the local community with a medley of songs. Everyone had a great time and loved our homemade chocolate cakes & coffee.
Breakfast and a Tour
Small local businesses came together for a morning of bacon rolls and a tour of our home. They also got the opportunity to tell everyone what they did and how they can help the community work together and grow.
Professionals' Lunch
Over 20 members of the local community got together for a fantastic afternoon of networking and learning more about what the community has to offer for everyone.
Big Garden Bird Watch
Enthusiastic ‘twitchers’ at Wadhurst Manor came together for the RSPB Big Garden Watch, and had great fun recording all the different birds that were spotted.
Burns Night
Wadhurst Manor enjoyed a very Scottishthemed Burns Night with our guest speaker, Barbara, who addressed the haggis with some Robert Burns poems, which was followed by Scottish music and a a delicious meal.
