The purple ribbons represent the suffragette movement.

Are you considering care for a loved one or yourself but concerned of not being able to see friends and family?   Or, is your family member in an existing care home where visits are restricted?   Here at Crandon Springs our home has had a bespoke visitation suite installed within our residents home. Family and friends can enter the visitation suite via an external door, the suites include an intercom system, television, refreshments and pre-prepared cakes and biscuits from our hospitality team.   As a luxury new build home our occupancy will steadily grow, meaning our capacity of residents allow daily visits for loved residents.   Our home is set to open in April 2021 so we are adamant our visitations with family and friends will be enjoyed in the sunshine within our landscaped gardens, however we like to offer options.
