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!

Life at Crandon Springs Care Home
Green Fingered Friends!
Over the next couple of posts, we wanted to give a nod to the amazing people that volunteer their time to the benefit of our lovely residents.
Today, we say a HUGE THANK YOU to the wonderful Barry, who recently came to to tend to some of the weeding here in the Crandon Springs garden, much to the appreciation of our onlooking residents.
Stopping only to 'wet the whistle' and chat with everyone watching his work, Barry worked his magic and our garden looks all the better for it!
Barry, you are VERY welcome here at Crandon Springs any time and your efforts are such a blessing to our home.
THANK YOU!
More Musical Moments...
Yet another wonderful day here at Crandon Springs today...
What is that sound coming from our lounge? Why, it's the lovely Joe, the entertainer, who has come to sing to everyone here in our lovely home!
Residents from all over the home joined together for a sing and a dance this afternoon, and they very much enjoyed Joe's tunes.
Thank you Joe, for another fun-filled, happy session!
Marvellous Music Man!
The amazing Michael Angus was back here at Crandon Springs recently, much to the delight of our residents...
Out in the beautiful Crandon Springs garden, Michael had everyone tapping and singing along with his music, leaving many a smile in his wake!
Isn't it amazing just how joyful music can be? Never underestimate the value of a good tune!
Now We Are ONE!
There was much to celebrate here at Crandon Springs recently, as we turned 1 year old!!!!
Yes, can you believe we have been open an ENTIRE year already? Time flies when you are having fun and we have much of that since we opened...
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing team here at Crandon Springs, who laid on a fantastic celebration, as we were also joined by many friends, family and volunteers of the home, as well as Mayor of Wells, Philip Welch, who gave a wonderful speech.
Residents were then WOWED by the amazing Tim Pitman, who sang some incredible ballads and opera for everyone's entertainment, during which cream teas were enjoyed by all!
What an AMAZING afternoon, very much enjoyed by everyone here in the home.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY also goes to Her Majesty the Queen!
Birthday Celebrations Aplenty!
Recently here at Crandon Springs we were delighted to celebrate not one, but two big birthdays among our residents!
Freda, our lady in red, said 'hello' to the amazing age of 100 years!
And Emma, in pink, beamed all day as she crossed 101 off!
We wish these amazing ladies many more happy years to come - it is truly our pleasure to celebrate their incredible lives over the last century.
Accompanying us into the occasion was Joe from Time Flies Music, who entertained with our residents favourite hits from the golden decades, and no birthday is complete without overindulging in one too many slices of cake and glasses of fizz!
Mum's the Word!
Here at Crandon Springs in the run up to Mother's Day, we asked our everyone on Facebook to 'Like' our page and nominate their Mum for a chance to win them some amazing Mother's Day goodies!
All the nominations were collated and and put into the draw and the winning name was selected by our lovely resident, Hugh!
Hugh picked the winning name of Sue Murphy, who popped along to receive her prizes ready to spoil her mum in time for Mother's Day.
BIG CONGRATULATIONS!
