Activities at Crandon Springs 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.
Katherine Cork
Hello, my name is Kath and I’m the Activities Assistant here at Crandon Springs.
As part of the Activities and lifestyle enrichment team, I help in organising our daily activities, ensuring that all of our residents have a variety of activities to choose from each day. I love enriching our residents’ lives by providing meaningful and engaging activities and, having been both a teacher and care assistant in the past, have a wealth of experience behind me. You'll rarely find me without a smile and I'm very family orientated, and I love how both the residents' and colleagues Crandon Springs feel like a second family to me!

This evening our activities team welcomed the Mayor of Wells to our Pamper and Prosecco evening with the lovely Lynda from Temple Spa.
The residents were treated to a selection of treatments which smelt amazing and made our skin silky smooth.
Even our gents got in on the act with one trying the lip butter which he enjoyed.
A lovely evening had by all.
Crandon Springs hosted Wells Vineyard Foodbank.
Crandon Springs is delighted to announce we will be supporting Wells Vineyard Foodbank. Collecting donations for the Foodbank.
Referrals to the Foodbank have increased by around 165% since 2019, and the Foodbank currently supports about 150 local people per month.
People in need are referred to the Foodbank by an agency such as the Job Centre or Citizens Advice. Clients receive a food parcel with enough meals for each person in the household for three days.
Despite offering vital support for people in crisis, the Foodbank does not receive government funding and relies entirely on donations from the community and occasional grants.
The Foodbank is keen to receive long-life and tinned products. Their most needed products can be found here. If you are keen to help but not able to go to a supermarket, you can also donate via this QR code

At almost 400 feet deep and 3 miles long, this is England’s largest gorge and spectacular landscapes.

Creatures and Critters…
We all really love animals, and today we met some smaller creatures and critters… What an amazing experience - and a lot of bravery holding the snakes !
Thank you Zoolab for visiting us at Crandon Springs.
Oh what a wonderful evening!! Ladies Night - Cocktails and Mocktails ……
It was only juice - honest! We had a lovely time on the balcony last night enjoying the late sunshine - topics of conversation included, clouds, shoes, fashion and the uses of Men! Relaxing, laughing and chatting can’t be the best therapy!
