RESIDENTS and family members put their brains to the test during a quiz at a Wells care home.

Crandon Springs Care Home was the setting for four rounds of questions covering general knowledge, sports, science and nature, and history.

Five teams took part, with guests wetting their intellect with a selection of beers, wines, soft drinks and snacks as they put their knowledge to the test.

After an evening of competition, two teams tied for first place: The Tucks, made up of a resident Val and her family, and The Snowbirds, a group of residents.

They were crowned joint winners and shared the prize – a large box of chocolates, with everyone.

Resident Roger said it was “very enjoyable”, while fellow resident Christine expressed her gratitude to the Activities Team, thanking them for organising the event that was “so much fun”.

Meg Cleal, general manager at Crandon Springs, said: “Our residents really enjoy quizzes and games, they’re a wonderful way to keep the brain active while socialising and having fun.

“We have a vibrant community spirit at Crandon Springs, where residents, families, and staff enjoy coming together to socialise.

“Special evening events like the Pub Quiz are particularly enjoyable, and this one was so successful that we are already considering making it a regular feature at the home.”

Crandon Springs care home is run by Barchester Healthcare and provides residential care and dementia care for 64 residents, from respite care to long term stays.
