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
Flower Arranging
Residents enjoyed an afternoon of flower arranging in preparation for our open day, making the most of some of the spring flowers that are about. Friends and relatives joined in, commenting on how therapeutic it was. It has been lovely to see the arrangements displayed around the home.
Easter Celebrations
Residents enjoyed a visit from the Easter Bunny. Those who were not keen on chocolate received a pot of daffodils. Several grandchildren and great grandchildren took part in the Easter egg hunt in the morning and a few residents wrapped up and went out in the garden to search for Easter eggs in the afternoon.
Memory Lane residents also enjoyed making and Eating chocolate nests.
