Local MP Visits Hazel lodge

We recently had the absolute pleasure of meeting our local conservative MP Dr Kieran Mullan for Bexhill & Battle who visited us at the home . Kieran took a tour of the home and chatted to residents about their links with Battle  & Bexhill and life at Hazel Lodge . Residents were interested to hear about his previous work as a doctor in A&E and also the police service and put questions to him regarding local issues .

We'd like to Thank Kieran for spending time with us and look forward to seeing him again soon.

Game ,Set and Match for Wimbledon 2026

We've had a fantastic time watching Wimbledon over the past 2 weeks . We've been chatting about players we remembered like John McEnroe , Andy Murray & Virginia Wade and of course cheering on young hopeful Arthur Fery. The distinct ping of the tennis on the tv throughout the home certainly felt like surround sound as residents tuned in in their bedrooms , lounges and the cinema room to see who got through to the next match and of course the finals....and of course it is the perfect excuse for Pimm's O'clock . Well , it would be rude not to!

Lake day And Shady Stroll

Residents had a lovely outing to Goldsworth Park Lake, watching the wildlife followed by a shady stroll. They are already looking forward to their next minibus adventure!

Keeping Cool and Gardening at Weystone Manor

It was a bit too hot to be out in the full sun, but our residents didn't let the heat stop them!
After a meander around the garden and a discussion about how to support a fallen young tree they then had a wonderful time potting plants together in the shade.

Deans Garden Centre Visit

Enjoying the sun! Our lovely Residents enjoyed an outing to the Dean's garden centre, looking at all the lovely flowers and enjoying a spot of tea in the sun. We really enjoy our trips out in the mini bus. 

Pamper Session

Whilst waiting for their hair appointments at our in house beauty salon our residents enjoyed a pamper session getting manicures from Activities Co-ordinator Makayla. 

Guitar Performance

We had the lovely Richard Morecroft bringing music and fun to our residents singing along to well known and well loved song from The Beetles, Johnny cash, Elvis Presley and finishing with Neil Diamonds' very well known song Sweet Caroline!

Ice Cream Sundae Competition! 🍨

Our talented residents have been getting creative in the kitchen and have made some fantastic ice cream sundaes to be entered into the Barchester Ice Cream Sundae Competition!
 
From colourful toppings to imaginative designs, everyone had great fun creating their delicious masterpieces. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and can't wait to see how they get on in the competition.
 
A huge well done to all our residents who took part – we think they're all winners! 🍦✨
 

There's never a dull moment at Adlington Manor!

Our residents know how to have fun and today was no exception. Sharing laughter, friendship and happy memories is all part of life here.
