Hi, my name is Sarah and I recently joined Wadhurst Manor Care Home in December 2020.

Prior to this role I was an activity co-ordinator in a school. I have a real passion for encouraging people to live as independently as they can and remain as active as they can both mentally and physically.  Being able to interact with both the residents and their families helps me get to know the residents well to provide the best person centred activities for them.

My hobbies include swimming, walking, gardening and reading. Having a young son has encouraged me to promote a healthy lifestyle which I am hoping to pass on to the residents.
