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
Happy Birthday Amy!
Crandon Springs recently wanted to wish the wonderful Amy, many happy returns on for her 97th birthday... (Although we are convinced everyone here is only 21!)
Amy, we hope you enjoyed your celebrations and your delicious homemade carrot cake, made especially for you, by our lovely Chef, Gary.
Music Magic!
Here at Crandon Springs nothing gives us more joy than seeing our residents happy and having fun...
Each week on a Friday, the amazing Michael, a qualified music therapist comes to see us, and up on Memory Lane recently, they had the most wonderful session!
Doesn't it makes you want to just get up and dance?!
It's so incredible how powerful music can be...
Poker Face
What a lovely, sociable group of individuals we care for here at Crandon Springs!
Each Friday without fail, residents gather together for a very popular event...
Friday Card Club has become a very regular occurrence each week in our cafe. A good game of cards, delicious beverages and some great company - What more could anyone ask for!
Vegas here they come!
Our New Furry Friend!
Residents here at Crandon Springs have thoroughly enjoy watching Crufts recently, but especially loved some canine company in the form of the gorgeous Teddy, the labradoodle and his lovely owner Jenny.
What joy and smiles he has spread here at the home and the best thing is, that Teddy will be visiting us every Thursday from now on!
St. David's Day & Pancake Day!
YAKI DAH FROM CRANDON SPRINGS!
Recently, here in our beautiful home, we celebrated all things Welsh in honour of St. David’s Day, as well as also honouring Shrove Tuesday (aka pancake day), marking the start of Lent...
Residents enjoyed a wonderful day, which started off with a few songs by the lovely Emma, who serenaded us then later on, with the dulcet tones of Tom Jones ringing through the lounge, many of our residents enjoyed a little dance...(but let's face it, who doesn't love a bit of Tom Jones?!), before learning a little about St. David himself, before being treated to some homemade Barra Brith cake, which is traditionally served in many Welsh households on St. David's day.
Also, both residents and staff enjoyed some delicious pancakes as well as getting involved in a little bit of pancake tossing!
What's your favourite pancake topping?
Bird House Decorating
What a wonderful afternoon was had by some of our lovely ladies here at Crandon Springs recently...
With spring almost 'sprung', our residents enjoyed getting their creative juices flowing, as they decorated some lovely little bird boxes to go out into the Crandon Springs garden.
The ladies concentrated hard as they added some bright colours to these little bird dwellings.
Let's hope our new feathered friends enjoy their efforts as much as the residents enjoyed painting them.
Well done everyone!
What's your favourite bird?
