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
A trip to Chester Zoo
Yesterday we went on a visit to Chester Zoo . It was a lovely day and so enjoyable. We spent a couple of hours going round and seeing what animals we could spot . The tiger was very far away but we managed to spot him . We all had lots of stories to tell about the times we have visited the Zoo with our families. Especially the one when the monkey escaped and everyone had to hide in the cafes and gift shops till he was found . We eventually had a sit down and enjoyed some chips and a drink before we got back on the mini bus. It was one of the best outings we have been on . Peter was amazing with all the walking he managed, he also helped to push Mary and Barbara in their chairs . We will be arranging another visit next pending on the good old British weather.
National Cocktail Day
It was National Cocktail Day on Monday. At Crabwall Hall we had such a laugh especially at Jacqui, our activities lead. She definitely got more of the cocktails over her than in the cups . We had a competition to see which drink we enjoyed the most . Mary's Margarita came well ahead in first place . It was named after our lovely Mary who is 101, she joins in every activity with a smile and more so a cheeky grin on her beautiful face . Her two daughters also come and join in the fun . We all just laughed the whole afternoon.
Long Service Award
Last week we celebrated another long service award.
Debbie Lambert our team leader has been at Crabwall for 10years, Debbie is a much loved member of staff, a hard worker and always goes above and beyond for our residents.
Thank you for your dedication!
Happy 101st Birthday Mary!
Yesterday it was our beautiful Mary’s 101st Birthday. Our lovely Irish Colleen is never without a smile on her face which brightens up the room. Mary spends all day in the lounge and joins in every activity. She is one in a million and is loved by everyone one of us. Ned The Therapy Dog is so fond of our beautiful queen that’s he makes sure he visits her first for a lovely cuddle. Mary’s always looks forward from a visit from her beautiful family
and friends. She just makes everyone smile and laugh. She especially loves a sherry before lunch. So from us all at Crabwall Hall we would like to wish this very special lady a very Happy 101st Birthday. We all love you loads Mary and a big thanks to the joy you bring to our home and our hearts.
A visit from Robbers Dogs Bikers Club
Well what can I say . This afternoon we had the pleasure of the Robbers Dogs a local biker’s club come to visit. These great bunch of guys do so much work for local charities. They came and picked up 70 Easter Eggs that family and staff at Crabwall Hall had collected for local children. They had an extra group member with them today , Jacqui our activities lead . It was the first time she had ridden on a bike and she loved it . The residents didn’t know she was coming on a bike so it was a complete surprise to them all . Everyone loved all the bikes especially Reg and Ken . We would like to say a big thank you to these wonderful guys for making this afternoon extra special for us all . Next time they come to visit hopefully the weather will be a lot nicer.
