About Crandon Springs Care Home
Crandon Springs Care Home is a residential home in Wells, and we are glad to be part of this small Somerset city. We offer a permanent home to older people who can no longer manage on their own, and we also take people for shorter respite stays, whether that is planned well in advance or arranged quickly after an illness or a spell in hospital. Most of our residents are older adults who need help through the day and reassurance at night. A number of them are living with dementia, and we shape the house around that: quiet corners for people who find noise difficult, familiar belongings in bedrooms, and staff who know how to steady a moment rather than argue with it. We also support some younger adults whose needs are better met here than in a larger setting. Life here is not regimented. People get up when they wake, eat what they fancy, and spend the day as they wish, with as much or as little going on around them as they want. Families are welcome whenever they can come, and we would far rather they treated the place as an extension of their own sitting room. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are very welcome to visit, look around properly and talk to whoever is on shift. That will tell you more than anything we can write here.
