I went for 1 week respite care only, unfortunately cannot afford the costs on my limited income.
I have been diagnosed with Huntingsdon disease and at my wits end wondering how or where I will end up!

Mum was with you for the shortest of times, however, during her brief stay in Crandon Spings she could not have been made to feel more welcome or comfortable. A huge thank you to all the staff involved in her care.

My father has stayed at Crandon Springs several times for respite support. All staff have always remembered him and give him a warm and generous welcome, ensuring he is included in a variety of stimulating activities. His medical needs vary, and care is given to ensure they are met. Though he reluctant
to leave his house, he is happy to stay at Crandon Springs and we feel secure when he is there. (A big thank you to all staff).
He is also welcomed between stays to attend activities as a 'day-visitor', which he finds very stimulating.
Reply from Ruth Cooke, Home Admissions Advisor at Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home

We are delighted that your father has had such positive experiences during his respite stays with us. We want all of our residents to feel at home and well-cared for, whether they live with us permanently or for a short while, so and it's gratifying to hear that your father feels happy, secure and involved, and that our staff have made a lasting impression on both you and your father.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am absolutely delighted to have my friend in the care of Crandon Springs Care Home. She seems to be having a great time with the numerous musical afternoons, singing and dancing and generally mixing well with other Residents. The Activities team do a fantastic job integrating the Residents so that
they mix well and are kept busy whilst still having one-to-one sessions to make them feel individual. Also, the day trips out to Garden Centres and country walks take advantage of the lovely Somerset countryside as well as trips into Wells itself. When I visit, everyone makes me feel so welcome and cannot do enough to support us. It is just like an extended family. Thank you for all you do.
Reply from Ruth Cooke, Home Admissions Advisor at Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with us. We're delighted to hear that your friend is enjoying her time with us. Our activities team is dedicated to creating engaging and inclusive experiences to enrich the lives of all our residents, so it's wonderful to know that these efforts have made a positive impact. We also appreciate your kind words about our staff. Ensuring that both residents and their visitors feel welcomed and supported is hugely important to us. Your description of Crandon Springs as "just like an extended family" is truly appreciated; thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My in-laws have been at Crandon Springs since Dec 2024 initially as respite but are now permanent residents.
They have been treated with dignity and kindness by everyone as have we during a very traumatic time.
The home itself feels more like a hotel than a care home, there are no chairs in circles,
peeling paint or offensive odours as we saw on visit to other homes.
Most importantly we know that they are they are safe, warm, fed and cared for. They are treated by the staff as you would hope they'd look after their own family. If there are any concerns they are addressed promptly and we are kept up to date.
Dogs are welcome which means we can bring our dog in for visits and there are always biscuits awaiting her in reception as well as plenty of fuss and cuddles from the staff.
We just wish they would join in with more of the activities! Dad moans that there aren't any activities for the men and there aren't many men in the home to talk to.
More staff would be good for all.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely, positive comments about our care home and our staff. Your parents are indeed part of the Crandon Springs family, which does include several men, and we're delighted that you can see how well cared for and safe they are with us.

She is now joining in with singing activities and smiling and laughing. As well as putting on weight with all the fabulous food.

We recently used Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home for a respite stay for my mother. She is a very reluctant respite stayer in general and we have used various other homes in the past. We found Crandon Springs to be excellent, a lovely environment to stay in and like being in a hotel for a week.
The staff and management were friendly, kind and professional. I was able to relax in the knowledge that she was safe and well cared for in a nice, caring, friendly environment, we will definitely be using Crandon Springs again.

I came for three weeks of respite while my broken wrist was healing. My room was very smart and comfortable and the care staff were very kind and friendly and efficient. Meals were mostly good and care was taken to cater for my intolerances. I had three delightful companions at my table with lovely
conversations and I enjoyed all the varied activities that kept us entertained and exercised. I also had the freedom to come and go as I pleased to pursue outside activities and packed lunches were prepared if I missed a meal. Altogether, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was sad to leave.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is my first experience of a care home, especially one with a dedicated, good medical floor. I have found all staff very hardworking, kind but at times, appearing overworked. The fact that medical help is readily available is comforting, the rooms are very comfortable, clean and suitably furnished.
There is a weekly programme of activities to suit as many as possible with trips away from the home. Most rooms have their own TV.
Food is good with an acceptable choice, in dining rooms that encourage residents to mingle. Wherever possible, help is given to those who need help with cutlery etc. A kindly air pervades.

My mum has been in respite at Crandon Springs for 7 weeks. During that time she has improved both physically and emotionally. The environment in the home is very pleasant and relaxing. The staff are amazing and I cannot recommend them enough. They are kind, caring and professional. There are lots of
varied activities which my mum enjoyed during her time here.
My dad joined my mum for 1 week and also really enjoyed the home commenting on how friendly and kind the staff were. He also particularly liked the food and liked the fact there was plenty of it.
Thank you to everyone. I am sure we will be using the home in the future and will be recommending it to our friends.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Second visit and was an emergency. No remote control for 4 days. After 5 days there was still no hand wash in her bathroom. For 3 days there was a dirty stain in the toilet. On more than one occasion my mum was dressed in clothes that were men's and clearly not hers - the trousers were so tight I could
barely pull them over her hips. They rubbed and left marks around her waist and legs. There was no water available in her room until I insisted. When mum left she was dressed in the wrong clothes and missing numerous items- clothes, pad for her wheelchair and a missing shoe. The first floor supervisor was wonderful over the phone and my issues were resolved. I raised concerns with the general manager that residents were sat in front of their unfinished meal for 2 1/2 hours on a Monday night from 5.15pm - 7.45pm amongst trolleys of leftover food and dirty crockery, while the only two lovely staff tried their best to help residents to bed. Very shortened review due to 1000 characters.
Reply from Feedback Team, The Feedback Team at Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home

Thanks for leaving your review, we're sorry to read you had a less enjoyable experience at our home for your second visit with us. With urgent, out-of-hour admissions, we do our best to support straight away, however on reading your comments, a few things were overlooked on arrival and we are sorry about this. With missing items, we always ask that residents label their belongings so that they don't go missing, and we understand the home is still looking for a few of these for you and will keep in touch. The housekeeping and catering teams have been made aware of your comments, and these will be reviewed by the General Manager. If there is anything further you wish to advise us of, you're more than welcome to reach out to us at feedback@barchester.com so that we can support you. Kind regards, Barchester's Customer Feedback Team.

Mum's physical and mental health improved drastically after moving her to Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home from another care home. She was made to feel very welcome and special by all the staff, as were her wider family whenever we visited. She was a resident there for three years and was very well

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.656) out of 10 for Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.656 for Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.656
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Crandon Springs Care Home is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2024

I am delighted to introduce myself as the new General Manager of Crandon Springs.


A little bit about me: I began my career in care in 2011 as a Senior Care Assistant. Since then, I have advanced through roles such as Team Leader and Deputy, culminating in management positions. Alongside my career in care, I have also managed a large portfolio of properties and led teams, which has enriched my experience in both fields. Although my childhood dream was to become a registered nurse, I am grateful to have found a fulfilling career within this sector. My focus is always on delivering exceptional care and service, ensuring safety, and fostering a welcoming atmosphere.


Personally, I live in Yeovil, Somerset, and grew up in the beautiful Dorset countryside. I share my life with my partner Ryan, my two stepchildren, and our two dogs. We cherish exploring the scenic landscapes of Somerset and Dorset.


I am committed to supporting our team at Crandon Springs and am eager to enhance our community's reputation. I maintain an open-door policy and welcome any feedback you may have. Your insights are invaluable in helping us provide the best care possible.

I’m Darius Ivana, the Deputy General Manager at Crandon Springs, having joined the team in February 2025. With over five years of experience in the care sector, I’ve developed a strong passion for supporting elderly people and ensuring that their needs are met with the utmost compassion and professionalism.

I’m committed to making sure that our residents’ needs are met on a daily basis, providing them with the care, dignity, and respect they deserve.
In addition to resident care, I place great importance on the well-being and support of our staff. I believe a happy and well-supported team is key to delivering outstanding care. I work closely with staff to ensure they have the resources, training, and support they need to excel in their roles, and I encourage a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Together, we aim to provide exceptional care and create a positive, supportive atmosphere for everyone at Cadbury Hall.
I’m also in the process of completing my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care, which will further enhance my ability to lead with confidence and insight. As I continue to grow in my role, I’m excited to work alongside such a dedicated team, continually striving to improve the lives of our residents and contribute to the ongoing success of Crandon Springs.
