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.

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!

Fascinating Talk
Today we had a fascinating talk about the old Mendip hospital and cemetery by a lovely lady called Clare Blackmore.
Clare is very passionate about the subject and gave an Interesting talk into the lives and history of the residents who lived in the old hospital to our residents who gave her a favourable response.
A big thankyou to Clare from all of us.
Mendip Hospital Cemetery is the last resting place of 3,000 patients from the Somerset and Bath County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, later the Wells Mental Hospital and latterly the Mendip Hospital.
It is a site full of history and was saved from development for housing by concerned local residents, local politicians and members of the public in 2000.
Since then the site has been cared for entirely by dedicated volunteers and turned into a peaceful wild garden amongst the grave markers and the history researched and recorded.
It is a very unique place and the patients, and some staff buried there, shown due deference and through ongoing research their stories are being told and some are displayed in an exhibition in the chapel on the site.
Only open on Sundays during the summer with a mid-week opening once a month the volunteers are now planning to open, by booking, guided visits to local history, village or other interested groups to share this special place and learn about its history and learn about the lives and deaths of those buried there.
Many of those buried there are from the city of Bath and its surrounding villages
It is also a very beautiful and inspiring place with wild flowers, sculptures, a pond, woodland paths, be inspired and absorb the atmosphere.
