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
Tee Time
A few ex-golfers enjoyed an afternoon in the sun and a friendly game on our putting green. It was a lovely afternoon, although the ground was not wonderfully even, but this only added to the fun!
Good Vibrations
We had another successful visit from Ryan, who hosted an afternoon of music therapy. Several residents joined others on our Memory Lane community to celebrate Dementia Awareness Week. There was lots of singing and dancing, and one resident even remembered some of her old drumming abilities.
Curtis Skinner Returns
Residents were thrilled when Curtis returned to sing songs from the Rat Pack era. There was a lot of swooning as Curtis worked the room, singing to everyone.
You Quack Me Up
Royal Wedding Celebrations
The bunting was up, the flags were out and so were the hats. Residents enjoyed watching the royal wedding in all the lounges. There was a great atmosphere and lots of cheering and even the odd tear here and there.
Ukulele Session
We had another wonderful afternoon singing along with the Wadhurst U3A Ukulele Group. You can tell that choir practice has really been paying off. Afterwards, we all enjoyed a chat over coffee and cakes. Mac even had a go at playing!
