Poem
by Lyn
At Crantock Lodge you'll find you are able,
To put your feet under a table.
 You'll be glad you are here to be cared for and pampered,
And your room will be kept to a very high standard.
Dave and Carole run the lodge with competent staff,
Happy to help or have a good laugh.
A buggy ride to Lusty Glaze,
It's all one needs in many ways.
With glorious scenery - just right.
To paint and admire from morning till night.
 But if water colours are not for you,
You can try flower arranging too.
A game of cards might give you a kick,
Rummy, Snap, Sevens, take your pick.
The Scrabble words get wider each day,
But we all enjoy the way that we play.
So come and join our merry band,
What do you think? Can I deal you a hand.

Lodge
Our Home Crantock Lodge is a detatched dorma bungalow
erected in 1965, situated in Sunny Cornwall  in a much
sought after residential area of Newquay, approximately
a mile away from Newquay town centre.
Our Home has a frontage with easy car access to the
front entrance. The building is being substantially
altered and extended to comply with legislation,
and
to provide us with more pleasant and comfortable surroundings. Our rooms
are situated on both floors and the main recreation
areas are on the ground level.
We are situated on level ground in quiet, pleasant surroundings and within
walking distance of the local shopping complex at Chester Road. To the
rear of Crantock Lodge is the Barrowfields Headland overlooking Lusty Glaze
Beach.
Our Home is currently registered with the National Care
Standard Commission for 10 residents.
 We are situated on level ground in quiet, pleasant
surroundings and within walking distance of the local
shopping complex
at Chester Road.
The proprietors Carole and Dave Taylor both have an amazing
sense of humour. They, together with the well trained,dedicated
staff provide us with a high standard of care taking every
aspect into account. We are all one big happy family in
a residential home which has more of a hotel feel about
it, where we live our life at our leisurely pace.
Visitors are always welcomed at  anytime with a cup of
tea or coffee.
Five of our home's ten rooms have sea views, the other's
overlook the colourful garden. 
The well maintained rooms are light spacious and very comfortable . They
are all individually decorated and
f urnished.
We are welcome to bring our own furniture

are actively involved in all aspects of our care, aided
by the
friendly staff team.
Carole had previously worked as a  Care Manager for
over thirty years.
Dave works full time improving the home and is continuously

the home has grown to ten bedrooms from it's previous six.
