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
Petpals
We had the pleasure of meeting this lovely duck on a recent Petpals visit. We think she enjoyed the fuss just as much as we enjoyed her!
Christmas Cooking
Our kitchen team has been working hard preparing delicious festive food!
Manager's Cocktail Party
A great evening was had by all at our Manager’s cocktail party. We sampled some lovely cocktails and indulged in some delicious canapés.
Dementia Friends
This was our first meeting about making Wadhurst a dementia-friendly community.
Paramedic Visit
Local paramedics took us up our offer to join us on their lunch break for some delicious tea and biscuits. Our Deputy Manager, Godwin, took a moment out of his day to come and say hello.
Christmas Fête
We had an excellent evening at our Christmas Fete. There were several lovely stall holders selling some bespoke gifts for children and adults, followed by a performance by our very own Wadhurst Manor Choir – we even have our own t-shirts now! After that, everyone enjoyed some mulled wine and mince pies.
