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
Garden Party
Well “No Rain” so we finally get to enjoy “The Garden” with “The Vixens” amazing as Always …. Thank you so much for coming everyone
“Staff Bench”
Thank you so much to Gwyneth’s daughter for our lovely “Staff Bench”. Kindly donated so the staff can sit in the sunshine for a well earned break…. The plaque says “Gone Where Her Glass is Always Full”. We will fondly remember Gwyneth’s smile, especially when enjoying her glass of wine.
What a beautiful thought and gift !
Flower Festival with Wells Floral Art Club
Our residents created floral masterpieces with beautiful fresh flowers.
Cllr Tanys Pullin, the 649th Mayor of Wells, gave us a personal guided tour of the Flower Festival.
We stepped into the medieval Bishops Palace and immersed ourselves in a breathtaking display of floral art, expertly crafted by floral art clubs from the local area.
Drawing inspiration from seven decades of fashion and national events, the Flower Festival is a feast for the senses.
Raising Money for Cancer
Crandon Springs Care Home held an Afternoon Tea with live music, for people affected by breast cancer.
We raised money for Breast Cancer Now, the research and support charity.
PAMPERED TO PERFECTION
PAMPERED TO PERFECTION
An afternoon of pampering was just the ticket for the lovely residents of Crandon Springs.
Wells Carnival
Today we were visited by members of the Wells Carnival Committee. We are hoping that this will be the start of a great collaboration. Wells carnival is part of the Somerset Guy Fawkes carnival circuit which happens every November. Between now, and then, we will be welcoming the committee to hold their meetings at Crandon Springs , and hopefully offer a place of refuge for Marshalls, The Police and the Carnival Committee on that cold November night. The residents and staff at Crandon Springs are already looking forward to carnival night and we hope our families will be joining us for another fabulous event!
We are always happy to engage with our local community, and there is no bigger event in Somerset like the carnival.
