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
A Fan Favourite
Jon McDevitt entertained us with many popular songs, including several Elvis numbers to mark his anniversary. It was a lovely afternoon with lots of singing and dancing.
Trip to Sainsbury's
Residents shopped for essential supplies then enjoyed refreshments in the café.
Countdown
Folks at Wadhurst had fun playing Countdown, with some amazing words being found. Once again, Jean walked away with the first place medal – congratulations, Jean!
International Friendship Day
What a wonderful time we all had when we were joined by friends and relatives for a tea dance to celebrate International Friendship Day. Everyone got involved with singing and dancing.
Our friends from The Mount joined us for the tea dance and resident, Rachel, very quickly learnt to waltz under the expert tuition of Sue, our General Manager. She also loved the 'hokey cokey' and joined in with several other residents.
Debonnaire Entertainment
Vanessa from Debonnaire Entertainment encouraged everyone to sing along with her songs throughout the ages.
Petpals Returns
Petpals brought in a litter of cute kittens for us to cuddle. They were so popular and evoked many a memory of cats the residents had owned in the past. Casey then went visiting residents who were in their rooms, bringing a smile to lots of faces.
