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.
Sarah Smith
I have worked at Wadhurst Manor in many different roles since December 2011. Prior to this I worked as a nurse, exercise teacher and and preschool supervisor. I have 4 lovely children who are now grown up and travelling the world. My hobbies include visiting my children, singing, dancing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, reading and amateur dramatics.I find enabling residents to remain active and engaged both physically and mentally is a wonderfully rewarding job. I particularly enjoy working on our memory lane units becoming immersed in their realities, enabling them to live their best lives by concentrating on what they can do not what they can't.

Life at Wadhurst Manor Care Home
Ryan Returns
We had another lovely afternoon with Ryan, who sang and danced and made everyone smile and laugh.
Zoolab
We had a wonderful afternoon meeting some of the animals that Zoolab brought with them to Wadhurst. They was surprisingly well-received, with residents holding and stroking different animals –even the creepy crawlies! Gary the cockroach, Barry the millipede, Darwin the bearded dragon, Lillie the grass snake and Sid the guinea pig were all guest at Wadhurst Manor!
Sequencing
A few residents took part in a building and sequencing activity here at Wadhurst Manor.
Musical Bingo
Residents and their families sang along to popular musical clips. It was so popular on our Topaz unit that we added an impromptu session on Amber, which was equally well-received.
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.
