Activities at Crabwall Hall Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Jacqui Cameron
We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends. The home also has its very own minibus for our numerous outings for coffee and shopping, which residents love.

Life at Crabwall Hall Care Home
Children in Need Celebrations
On Friday we had a lovely day... supporting Children In Need!
BBC Children in Need believes that every child should have the chance to thrive and be the best they can be.
For this to happen, every child should have someone they can turn to for help or support when they need to overcome the challenges they face, and we were happy to support in raising money throughout the day, thanks to all who donated!
Zoo 2 U
We are lucky at Crabwall to have some amazing activities visiting.
Last week was no different as we had the fabulous Zoo2U come along with some really interesting animals!
Our residents loved holding or stroking all of them, such a lovely afternoon!
Christmas Songs
So last week we had a visit from passion for learning children.
They came with some beautiful flowers in hand painted pots for our lounge and around our home.
The children sang Christmas songs, read books and also made book marks, this made our day.
Thank you so much for coming we look forward to you coming again after Christmas!
Chester Zoo Outing
Dorothy had a great time at Chester Zoo with her two sons Ian and Mark, as well as Marks wife Tracey and Ian's mother-in-law / former resident of ours Ruth! They all really enjoyed their visit. They especially loved the snow leopards and even got a cuddly one to take home . Dorothy's sons visit the home on a daily basis to see their lovely mum. Ruth also likes to come to Crabwall Hall as she has fond memories as she has stayed here for on a temporary basis and loves to catch up with everyone.
National Ice Cream Day
To celebrate National Ice Cream Day we had our local Mr Whippy come to visit us a Crabwall Hall. Everyone was treated to a 99 ice cream . Most of us opted for extra sprinkles and sauce. It was such a treat on one of the hottest days of the year. Jacqui our activities lead did her own ice cream but she was hopeless.
Cruising the Canal
On Tuesday we had our first outing on The Shropshire Union Canal @ Community Narrowboating in Wirral Cheshire & Beyond. We went from Ellesmere Port Boat Museum to Backford and back again on a leisurely four hour cruise. The barge was called Over the Rainbow which was crewed by three gentlemen volunteers. This boat was specially adapted to take wheelchairs. Our residents had a fantastic time taking in all the beautiful scenery, animals and of course all the other barges. We had a picnic lunch with wine. It was such a relaxing trip that we can't wait for the next one in August. Even the weather was on our side.
