Activities at Wadhurst Manor Care Home

Residents really enjoyed a talk from Ben Smith of Authentic Reclamation in Stonegate. Who came in with a box full of old artefacts for the residents to guess what they were and reminisce.

"That is just up my street thank you", "we have been having such interesting talks recently", "my grandad use to have a hot water bottle like that",

"I operated a morse code machine in the RAF" and "that was fascinating thank you" were just a few of the comments we received after." 

It was very interesting and everyone is looking forward to another visit, to guess some more items. 

For St Patrick's day, we immersed ourselves into Irish culture. First up, we were treated to a display of Irish dancing curtesy of Scoil Rince Céim Óir. Then Marie Kelly sang Irish folk sings for us and showed us some Irish traditional dress, jewellery, and instruments. All in all, it was a lovely afternoon.

Cherishing the Sweet Melodies of Motherhood: A delightful Mother’s Day where the soothing strings of a talented violinist reverberated. Creating an atmosphere of love, warmth, and appreciation. The melodies served as a beautiful tribute to all the mothers filling the air with nostalgia and deep affection, making it an unforgettable day for all .

WOW, what a truly amazing night thank you, Olivia Safe and friends, for bringing the West End to Wadhurst! Not only was I lucky enough to go with my mum, but I was given a last-minute ticket and knew exactly who to take. Our resident ambassador Audrey loves all things musical, but I was not prepared for her reaction.

We were lucky enough to have front row seats and from the first song she was in awe, clapping and calling out WOW, just amazing after each song. In the interval, she turned to me and said, "What did I do to deserve this! I have seen a lot of shows, but I can truly say this is the best thing to happen to me in my life!"

At the end, she was one of the first on her feet to give a standing ovation. The lovely cameraman Phil was so taken by Audrey's reaction that he took us back to meet Olivia and friends and she had her picture taken with them and they signed her programme.  What a truly magical and memorable evening and one we will never forget. Afterward, Audrey could not stop thanking me and said, "You have made my dream come true"

Residents have been busy all week preparing for Valentine's Day, making cards and table decorations.

We invited residents partners in for a wonderful lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the trimmings. 

We were then treated to a piano recital by Jane Spurr who included several of her own compositions followed by an amazing Valentine's cake and refreshments.

We were also able to celebrate with one of our carers who got married yesterday. Residents were over joyed to see the lovely photos and wish them every happiness.
