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.

There was huge excitement at Falmouth Court as some Miniature American Horses came by to visit the residents and staff as a treat.Staff and residents had a wonderful time learning about the very friendly horses owned by one of the homes care team Gail Brenton, finding out about their habits and what they like to eat. Several of the residents got to feed the horses some of their favorite treats.

Trip to Falmouth Art Gallery

We took some of our artistic residents down to Falmouth Art Gallery recently to see the Ammeth: Farming In Cornwall display.The display went to the farm to use art to explore stories and issues from one of Cornwall’s most important industries.Over 70% of land in the county is farmed and the relationship between farming and the landscape has been a continuing source of inspiration for local artists.The exhibition examined how farming is depicted in historic and contemporary art, reflecting on environmental concerns and celebrating Cornwall’s rich farming tradition and the positive impact of regenerative farming methods and sustainable food production.Featuring loans from Penlee House Gallery & Museum and a new commission in celebration of soil by Georgia Gendall.Trips to our local gallery are always very popular with our residents.
