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
Care Home Open Day
A wonderful time was had by all as we opened our door to friends, loved ones and visitors for Care Home Open Day. Our 1950s party was a great success, with lovely food, hilarious fancy dress and an amazing show by Debonnaire Entertainment.
Sensory Fun
A resident's wife donated this sensory blanket that she made herself - and residents seem to really like it!
Mud Run
These images show two Wadhurst Manor staff members before and after completing the Mud Run in Tunbridge Wells for Cancer Research. The duo managed to raise £300 between them. Well done!
Day Trip
We went on an outing to Petals Garden Centre; the weather was lovely and everyone really appreciated the beauty of their surroundings.
Tea on the Balcony
We enjoyed tea on the balcony and in the garden with the young adults from The Mount Camphill Community.
An Adorable Visit
Residents were delighted when an adorable group of ducklings were brought into the home for people to make a fuss off.
