Activities at Falmouth Court Care Home

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Christmas Party Time

Over the weekend we held our annual Christmas Party for the residents and staff to have a fun get together and play some fund games and have a festive sing song. Everyone had a fabulous time with lots of delicious treats being passed around along with a fun Christmas music quiz. All was rounded off with the staff all dressed in Christmas jumpers and glam, singing the 12 days of Christmas to all the residents. An unforgettable night was had by all.

Pasty Making Afternoon

This week Mikey one of our 2nd Chefs held a pasty making class for our residents. Everyone had a spectacular time taking part in a traditional activity many had done throughout their lives. Everyone reminisced and shared stories of pasty making for their families in the past. Here at Falmouth Court we know that leaving behind pastimes previously enjoyed can be a little difficult. This is why our activities team get to know each individual and aim to help our residents continue with these to ensure interests and hobbies can remain a part of their lives.
