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
New entertainer at Wadhurst Manor!
Residents welcomed a new entertainer to Wadhurst Manor recently. We all had a lovely time singing, dancing and reminiscing as we listened to Rick sing songs through the decades and play the saxophone. Rick took requests playing our favourite tunes and left us with a CD to help us recreate the afternoon.
Summer Fair at the Mount
Some of our residents joined the residents at The Mount Camphill Community for their Summer Fair. They enjoyed homemade scones and tea while listening to the band, then looked round the stalls.
South Farm Stables
We had a wonderful afternoon visiting South Farm Stables; we were introduced to ponies, kittens, cats, dogs and kestrels. The weather stayed fine and we were able to enjoy tea and cakes in the garden.
Pet-Assisted Therapy
Residents enjoyed another visit from Daisy the PAT dog, which sparked much conversation about past pets.
All the Fun of the Fair
Several residents braved the weather and attended the annual Wadhurst Fair at Uplands School. A great time was had by all. It was also lovely to catch up with friends from The Mount who were doing the refreshments.
Music Therapy
Residents enjoyed an afternoon of singing and dancing with Ryan on the Amber wing. Everyone joined in with hands in the air for the chorus of Sweet Caroline.
