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.

I strive to provide our residents with a varied range of life enriching activities. I like to get to know each residents and their interests to I can tailor activities to individuals interests and hobbies.

Life at Falmouth Court Care Home
Magician & Cocktail's
What a wonderful and magical evening we had at Falmouth Court for our Magician and Cocktails evening! Haley our general manager made cocktails for everyone from French Martini's to a delicious Rum Punch and everything in-between. Our residents, their families and members of the local community came and enjoyed this fun evening with a fantastic magic show from John Martin. Everyone was amazed by his talents with ooh's and ahh's a plenty.
Visit to Helston Railway
Our residents had a lovely spooky trip out this week to the Helston Railway. Helston Railway being the most southern railway in the UK were running some special Halloween themed trips so we thought we would load up the mini bus and go along for a ride. With lots of pumpkins and spooktacular decorations along the way, everyone had a fantastic time. With coffees and hot chocolates in hand, tales of train rides of yester year were shared by our residents as we steamed along the Cornish countryside. One resident 'Joe' was taken back to childhood when he used to spend time at Liverpool Street Station taking note of the train engine numbers.
Drums for Fun
What a wonderful and fun afternoon we had with a visit from Drums 4 Fun. They provide percussion interactive experience workshops designed to promote and improve mental health, self-esteem and wellbeing. Our residents had a fabulous time and some even got up dancing while listening to some tunes of yester year.
Everyone was left wanting more and are looking forward to the next visit.
World Cruise - Japan
Our famous 'World Cruise' event this time stopping in Japan was another great success and enjoyed hugely by the residents of Falmouth Court. We docked and our residents their families and friends enjoyed all sorts of delicious sampling bites from Japan prepared by our very talented chefs.
Everyone then tried their hand at making origami swans followed but a fun chopstick competition!
Trip to the Donkey Sanctuary
What a lovely sunny trip we all had to The Flicka Foundation Donkey Sanctuary. Our ladies had a lovely afternoon seeing the donkeys and ponies. Everyone enjoyed the last of the summer sun while taking in the breathtaking views out over Falmouth Bay. Of course coffee and delicious cake in the café was essential before a little stop in the gift shop before returning back to the home.
Resident Art Exhibition
We had a very wonderful Evening for our resident and staff Art Exhibition. With some members of our local community coming and joining our residents to enjoy some delicious cheese and wine and view many different types of arts and crafts.
It was a splendid evening and our residents thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to exhibit their lovely pieces while making new acquaintances.
