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
Jenga!
Residents enjoyed a very competitive game of Jenga. Winter days some times call for indoor fun.
A Quiet Moment
A resident and his wife kick-started the morning with a daily word search.
Colourful Cupcakes
Some residents were taken back in time to when they used to do baking for their families and friends. The finished results were very tasty indeed!
Scrabble Contest
A morning of Scrabble – who will receive the winner's medal this week?
January Open Day
Our recent open day was a huge success! The kitchen team spoilt us with a huge indoor picnic, and we all enjoyed showing off our lovely home.
Gleeful Guineas
We were treated to another Petpals session with these lovely little guinea pigs. We learnt about their natural habits and their diet – it’s a shame we couldn’t keep them!
