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.

Activities Coordinator

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

Valentine's inspired cookery demo

We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Valentine’s-inspired virtual cookery demonstration.  Chef Alex created some delicious Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.

First, our residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to a chocolate orange cake which everyone adored.

The great outdoors

What a beautiful day today has turned out to be. Residents love nothing more than getting wrapped up and taking a walk around our beautiful grounds. The views are stunning and seeing the winter flowers start to bloom.

A walk on the wild side

Residents at Crabwall Hall enjoyed the "Zoo 2 you" team visiting today and bringing along some brilliant animals. All the residents enjoyed handling the animals and listening to all the fun facts....we were joined by an owl, snake, spiders, tortoise, hedgehogs and skunks. Lovely day had by all!

New Year's Eve

All the staff and residents at Crabwall Hall would like to wish you and your families a Happy New Year for 2022.....

We had a lovely time enjoying the festivities, lots of fun and laughter in our newly refurbished lounge, which is close to completion.

Deck the halls

Residents at Crabwall Hall love to get all festive in their rooms and this year was no exception. There are baubles, trees, father Christmases, tinsel and pretty lights everywhere.

Barbara has brought her Father Christmas figure from home. It was a reminder of her late husband Geoff, who always parked his wheel chair in a certain place in the hallway, when he passed away Barbara wanted to fill the space with something comforting, so bought this soft statue of Santa to go in its place. It has comforted her for over 16 years. Pat loves a bit of bling so son Paul brought in this sparkly red Christmas tree that lights up in the dark.

Residents relatives have also got involved by creating person centred door hangings for their loved ones and the snow man on Betty’s door is a wonderful example.

Naughty Elf makes a return

After the success of the Naughty Elf campaign we ran last year, this year we allowed him to return to share his mischief again with our residents. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fun we had last year and are happy to see him up to his old tricks again.
