Activities at Crandon Springs Care Home

A significant day today - our grounds have been turfed! We are extremely fortunate to have 32 bedrooms with patio doors leading to landscaped gardens at our home. After a lot of wet weather we have began turfing our garden! Our south facing gardens will include raised beds for plants, a boules pitch and pergola area for shaded seating. Our marketing suite is open for appointments if you would like a home tour.

Crandon Springs is proud to open its marketing suite doors to the public as of the 9th of November 2020. 

We would love to - safely - invite as many of our neighbours and potential residents into our marketing suite to get a flavour of our home. We are only accepting pre-booked appointments.

Our home is opening to residents in spring 2021. Our home will specialise in the highest quality residential, dementia and respite care. For more information or to have a look around please email crandonsprings@barchester.com or call 07435553790.

The team at Barchester’s newly built care home, Crandon Springs in Wells, wanted to pay respect and engage with the local community for Remembrance Day this Sunday. The home acknowledges that a lot of local events have been cancelled and wanted a way to raise awareness safely.

The colleagues at Crandon Springs’ created a poster for the local community and young children to customise themselves. The poster featured poppies and quoted “Lest we forget” to raise awareness. The children at Rockers and Rockers of Glastonbury Road received the posters and local children enjoyed learning about the history whilst getting creative.  

Home Service Advisor, Bethany Chattwood said “We work closely with the local community and felt it was such a misfortune that we couldn’t support any local remembrance events due to government guidelines. Our home created a way to educate the younger generation on such an important part of our history whilst still allowing them to get creative”

We are welcoming new residents into our homes to ensure that we are there for those that need care and support, and have a very clear admission policy and infection control protocols that must be met. Please do give us a call on 01749 302592 if you are looking for care or need any further help.

Barchester’s newly built care home Crandon Springs, in Wells, was a den of ghoulish activity as the home’s spooky Halloween pumpkin carving competition got in to full swing.

The local Wells’ community and staff got in to the spirit of things encouraging the local community to enter a pictures of their pumpkin carvings. After long consideration the staff at Crandon Springs chose an entry by Rudy, a local boy who is clearly very creative! The colleagues at Crandon Springs gave Rudy a Halloween treat for taking part in the community event.

Home Service Advisor, Bethany Chattwood cackled: “At Crandon Springs we love an opportunity to dress up and celebrate and what better time of the year to do this than Halloween? We’ve had a whole range of entries from the local public, all really impressive – it was really hard to judge!”

As Crandon Springs Care Home prepares to open our doors to the community next month we had a few things we wanted to do first! Our gardens are being landscaped next week but we felt a burying a time capsule before this would be a great way to reminisce on how 2020 has been such an unusual year.

Our home service advisor Bethany called two local nurseries to take part in creating some artwork to reflect on the year and welcome Crandon Springs to the community. The art work was beautiful and we even received a favourite cuddly toy to add to our time capsule too!

Thank you to all the children and staff Rockers and Rollers Day Nursery and Tree House Day Nursery for taking part.

Our marketing suite is set to open the 9th of November 2020 to showcase our home. Viewings are by appointment only, please note we are fully booked for the first week of opening and are now looking at appointments for the week commencing the 16th of November.

Barchester Healthcare marked the start of their newest care home build in Wells, Crandon Springs, which is under construction by Acheson Construction Ltd.

Andy Williams, Senior Property Development Manager at Barchester, was joined by Luke Fallon, Project Manager, from Fed 3, where they met Marcus Drysdale, Managing Director, Ian Chorlton, Contracts Manager, Leigh Hill, QS, and Jonathan Gawler, Design Manager, all from Acheson Construction, to take a tour of the site and review the build in progress.

After the tour, Andy said: "My colleagues and I were very impressed with work we saw at the latest Barchester site. The new care home will be an important facility for the district and a very welcome source of employment."

Andy continued: “We are very excited about the construction of our new care home in and I feel lucky that our prospective residents will have a home set in such beautiful grounds.

“There is a real need for quality care in the local area and our new home will definitely meet this, and potentially give a boost to employment in neighbouring communities.”

Crandon Springs will provide high quality care services, as well as dedicated dementia support in Barchester’s unique Memory Lane Communities.
