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

Assistant Activities Coordinator

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.

The Mount

The Mount (a college for young adults with learning disabilities) came to visit us with some scrumptious homemade cakes and sausages rolls. Residents enjoyed taste testing them in the garden whilst soaking up the sunshine. Everyone agreed that they were absolutely delicious.

Pet Pals

Pet Pals came to visit us with some extremely cute and fluffy ducks. Everyone enjoyed petting them and watching them splash around in the water.

Bedgebury Pinetum

We enjoyed an afternoon out at the lovely Bedgebury Pinetum. After a gentle stroll, we indulged in some delicious cakes and a refreshing cup of tea.

Ryan Music Therapy

Residents in our Memory Lane community enjoyed an afternoon with Ryan Music Therapy. There was lots of singing and dancing along to some of their favourite songs!

PAT Cuddles

Residents & relatives enjoyed cuddles with the home's very own dog – Ronnie. He thoroughly enjoyed being spoilt rotten and most residents look forward to him being on duty. Later on that day, he came back from the hairdressers to show off his new summer haircut.
