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.

General Manager's Cocktail Party
The Christmas festivities started in early December when our General Manager, Georgina Gamble, hosted her annual cocktail party for residents, family, staff and friends of Wadhurst Manor.
It was such a lovely evening for everyone with chef's gorgeous canapes and several choices of cocktails on offer. Alan, a son of one of our residents, serenaded us on the piano.
We are already looking forward to next year!
Christmas Day at Wadhurst Manor
Father Christmas and his elves found time, despite their very busy schedule, to visit us at Wadhurst Manor to distribute gifts to all our residents. Here is a photo of one of our residents with her gift holding her Buck's Fizz!!
