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
Coffee and Cake in the square
Coffee and cake!
The beautiful Joy, Jane and Christine, residents here at Crandon Springs, had a trip around town this week, stopping at the various local bakeries and shops, before enjoying tea, coffee and cake in the square.
The weather was lovely and the ladies had a wonderful afternoon browsing the local shops and bakeries, and judging by their smiles very much enjoyed the cakes afterwards!
Crandon Springs Mini Golf
Today we welcomed the Wells Cathedral School boys back to Crandon Springs for the afternoon.
The boys come over on a weekly basis to spend time with the residents, engaging with them and taking part in a variety of activities as part of their Duke of Edinburgh award. This week, the residents and their visitors held mini golf tournament, with the winner getting a bar of chocolate.
Despite many having never even held a club before, a number of residents took part, including Christine and Sylvia who managed to get a hole in one!
June's Delight
Crandon Springs' wonderful residents' June, Anne and Marion went out for a trip around wells and enjoyed the views along with a warm cup of tea to keep the 'summer' breeze away.
June loved the trip and particularly enjoyed seeing all the local flowers in full bloom, telling our Activities team that she hadn't seen a seen a snap dragon out in all it's splendour in years!
Summer BBQ and Ukuleles!
This weekend, Crandon Springs held it’s first summer BBQ and in true British weather style we had to move inside due to the changeable weather. It did not put a dampener on spirits however, with resident John Morrell praising the swift actions of the hard working team as ‘inspired,’ and the afternoon proved to be a huge success!
We hosted members of the local community, relatives and the fantastic local ukulele band, The Shepton Mallet Ukulele Group (SMUG), whilst the BBQ went ahead with Head Chef Stuart Constable and his hard working team providing the delicious food and refreshments.
We extend our thanks to the band who played exceptionally well and all of the residents and relatives had a great time, singing along and dancing away to the wonderful renditions of classic and contemporary songs.
D-Day Dollies
Yesterday we held our D-Day commemorations at Crandon Springs, with a very special visit from the wonderfully talented D-Day Dollies!
In full regalia, the Dollies really played the part and brought so much joy to the residents.
Everyone had a great time dining and dancing along to the old classics, following a morning of remembrance and thanks to those that served. The morning was particularly poignant to one of our residents Bruce, who was formerly a Captain within the military forces.
Flower Power
A lovely afternoon was had this week at Crandon Springs, with residents getting creative with flower arranging.
The beautiful flowers used were kindly donated by Anna Honeyands. The residents were delighted by such a thoughtful act, we are so thankful. Congratulations on your recent wedding, we wish you both the very best for the future!
We love all of the different designs the residents came up with, which are now proudly displayed around our home.
