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.

A special visit from Mark's Ark!

The residents were thrilled to have such an array of wonderful creatures to learn about and spend time with. Everyone got stuck in and took turns to hold the animals ranging from jungle insects to owls. The beautiful barn owl was a huge favorite and was so gentle and majestic.Animal therapy is such a wonderful tool and an activity we offer often here at Falmouth Court.

We are getting out and about as much as we possibly can currently here at Falmouth Court. If the sun allows we head out in the homes minibus and soak up the rays.

Happy National Dog Day!

Our residents had a brilliant time this week as the local community were invited to bring their dogs in to meet and greet the residents spending time having cuddles as well as displaying their tricks.A huge range of different breeds came along from a Portuguese Water Dog, ‘Maggie’ to a Berendoodle, ‘Bear’ and everything in between. There were treats for the dogs and lots of cakes for the humans and all that came were given goodie bags with toys and treats. The whole afternoon was filled with joy and happy faces.Visitor, Gabi Lonescu, said: It was such a lovely event and I have very much enjoyed meeting all the residents and hearing their stories. Not having my own grandparents, it is heart-warming to be able to spend time with everyone here. Gabi came along with her Terrier ‘Thistle’.A huge thank you to everyone that came along and made this day so very special. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and requested we do it all again soon!

Celebrating Life at Falmouth Court!!We had a wonderful time this week taking many of our residents out on the water in Falmouth Bay and up the river with Wetwheels South West. The two trips split over two days were the most spectacular activity and everyone's faces were positively gleeful as they all took turns in helming the boat.The first trip was up the river Fal towards The Pandora Inn with the second going out into Falmouth Bay. Almost everyone had a go at the helm and both residents and staff had the most thrilling experience.
