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!

Hairdresser Time!!!!
Here at Crandon springs we encourage our residents to make new friends
However recently one of our respite clients had a lovely surprise when meeting one of her oldest friends she hadn't seen for a long time who is a resident here.
Amy and Jessmay worked together at Clarkes Street 70 years ago
Amy was a local lass and Jessmay travelled down from the Highlands after graduating with a history and economic degree from Glasgow.
She only intended to stay a few years but never went back.
Today our lovely hairdresser Sophie had these old friends in the salon to have their hair done.
Thank you to all for attending our Volunteer Day!
