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
Trip to Avalon Marshes
Our residents here at Crandon Springs have recently enjoyed a trip out on the mini bus to a local cafe!
Our activities co-ordinator, Tabby organised for our residents to enjoy a selection of either a cream tea, ice cream or hot drink from Marshes Hub Tea Stop!
Marshes Hub Tea Stop is a local hidden gem that specialises in high tea, cream teas and much more. It's great to get our residents out and about but also to support local businesses.
Our next mini bus trip is... Cheddar Gorge!
Tattoo Palour!
On the 6th of August, our residents here at Crandon Springs had been treated to a mobile tattoo parlour! Our resident activities co-ordinator, Tabby, spent time with our residents selecting and placing temporary tattoos.
The temporary tattoos are transfered by warm water and a cloth and can be easily removed by washing. Tabby ensured there was design that suited everyone!
Pet Therapy!
Today at Crandon Springs our residents have been enjoying a pet therapy experience with Teddy the local Chow Chow!
Extensive research has shown that the presence of a dog can have a positive impact on physiology and psychology and so helps reduce stress levels. Stroking a pet has been shown to lower blood pressure and the heart rate, bringing a calming effect.
Natalie our General Manager said "It was such a great fun having Teddy the Chow Chow here, the residents absolutely loved it! Watching our residents face light up was magical!"
