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.

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
Christmas Day
Here at Crabwall Hall we had a fantastic Christmas Day, which involved themed movies, singing and dancing, family visits followed by a beautiful festive lunch with turkey, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, puddings and cakes.
In the morning we welcomed Father Christmas and his elves from the North Pole, who brought gifts to all our residents - everyone was busy opening their presents and enjoying a glass of bubbly before the festive feast, prepared by our talented chef and kitchen team.
After lunch, we tuned in to watch and listen to the King's speech. Our day was filled with joy, smiles, music and laughter.
We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
A colourful afternoon
Yesterday at Crabwall Hall was all about Christmas Crafts, our residents enjoyed an afternoon painting, colouring, and sticking various different Christmas ornaments, pictures etc.
We all love getting in the Christmas spirit. Have you crafted something festive for your home, why not show us your pictures so we can show our residents
Home host talent competition
Here at Crabwall Hall, our residents enjoyed a Christmas Talent Show put on by some of our very own staff, we are excited to show you pictures from what we can only describe as a fabulous night, with residents and staff wanting an Oncor the next night.
Staff got together to perform various talents, of which included: The Tramps, Amy Winehouse, The Mirror, Cilla, The Snowman and last of all Mariah Carey, we had 3 judges, residents Alan, Karen and John and gave scores at the end of each performance, to end the night we had Christmas songs and dancing which brought happy memories to all. Our residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along.
Light switch on!
Lighting up time got a whole new meaning at Crabwall Hall Care Home as the community came together to see the home’s Christmas lights switched on for the very first time this Christmas.
Staff and residents here at Crabwall Hall, got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join in with staff and residents who all gathered in the home’s garden for the occasion.
We had two special visitors, Santa was handing out presents to the children and Fiona the Donkey was putting a smile on everyone's face. There was mulled wine, hot chocolate, pulled pork batches, hot dogs and sweets along with lots of other Christmas treats all prepared by head chef, Ian Preston to keep everyone warm.
Bird feeders
As the weather is turning colder, we decided here at Crabwall Hall to make some home made bird/wildlife feeders, our residents enjoyed getting creative mixing the seeds and putting in to pots to dot around the gardens to help feed all the wildlife we have here in our beautiful gardens.
We think you will agree they turned out brilliant and we hope the wildlife have a tasty treat.
Christmas Jumper Day
We are helping to make the world a better place by wearing a festival jumpers today in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.
Our staff and residents joined in the occasion by wearing a whole range of different festive t-shirts, jumpers, headbands and raise awareness for children in need all around the world.
We all looked amazing but we do think Paul our maintenance man stole the show dressed as a Christmas Tree. Residents Barbara and Gerald won the Best Jumper prize. It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
