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!

A lovely warm feeling at Crandon Springs
A lovely warm feeling at Crandon Springs. Firstly we welcomed the nursery children for an Easter egg hunt in our beautiful garden, the children loved running around and the residents were able to look out of their bedroom windows and see them having lots of fun.Our lucky winners of the colouring competition, judged by our manager John, were Eliza and Aubrey who won a Thortons chocolate bunny, but no-one went away without a treat as our manager John handed out chocolate lollies to everyone.Also having a lovely day celebrating her birthday was Marion, who had lunch with her family.
Then this afternoon was Easter Bingo which always goes down well and there were very happy winners.
Another happy day at our lovely home.
