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
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Here at Wadhurst Manor we've been celebrating all day with Ireland activity workbooks, St. Patrick's Day themed bingo and Irish singalongs (Memory Lane & Ground Floor) with singer Lesley Ryan.
We also enjoyed a delicious Irish stew for lunch and Guinness cakes too!
What a busy day! We'll definitely sleep well tonight!
Freestyle Café Outing
Our residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon out at the local Freestyle Café, enjoying tea and cakes. They also had the chance to meet up with former staff members and a puppy which is a regular customer there.
Live Music
Our residents and staff were delighted to welcome back Michael Lack - saxophonist who entertained us with a variety of jazz songs. He brought back lovely memories to many of our residents.
Real Bread Week
We reached out to our friends in the community and re-established our link with the Mount Camphill Community. Students made wonderful bread rolls in the bakery which they dropped up for our residents to enjoy with their soup at supper time. We are looking forward to many more joint ventures.
Valentine's Day
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, everyone received beautiful daffodils and delicious chocolates. Staff and residents talked about what was important in a loving relationship and shared their advice.
Welcome to the Team
Wadhurst Manor welcomed new bank Activities Coordinator, Liz, to the team. She has recently hosted an activity planting spring bulbs to add some colour to our garden, which the residents really enjoyed.
