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.

World Chocolate Day 2023
We had a fantastic afternoon celebrating World Chocolate Day
We had a fabulous afternoon enjoying a chocolate fountain and a selection of chocolates as we guess which ones we had selected from the menu. Our residents loved the chocolate treats and conversation, even if we did make a raucous mess!
A massive thank you to Jon our Head Chef for preparing such a wonderful selection!
Canada Day - World Cruise Event
Another successful World Cruise tasting event during the weekend at Falmouth Court. This time stopping in Canada to celebrate 'Canada Day'. Our activities team played a game of hockey and our chefs prepared some Canadian treats including Poutine and of course pancakes with maple syrup to mention a few.
With flags flying and the sun shining everyone had a lovely fun afternoon.
Trip to Princess Pavilions
We took some of our residents out over the weekend to the breathtaking Princess Pavilion in Falmouth!
With bright smiles and eager anticipation, our residents embarked on a delightful adventure, relishing the chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and enjoy some quality time in the company of friends.
The enchanting gardens of Princess Pavilions provided the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll and moments of serenity. Our residents revelled in the vibrant colours of blooming flowers and the soothing sound of rustling leaves, offering a tranquil escape from the everyday routine.
To top it off, our visit included a delightful stop at the pavilion's cozy café, where the tantalising aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. The residents indulged in warm cups of coffee, engaging in heartwarming conversations and creating cherished memories.
At Falmouth Court Care Home, we believe in promoting well-being and cherishing precious moments. Seeing the smiles on our residents' faces as they explored the gardens and shared laughter over a cup of coffee warms our hearts.
Visit to Kenwyn's Memory Café
So our residents had a lovely trip over to our sister home Kenwyn Care Home - Barchester Healthcare to join them for their memory café. What a lovely visit it was with a visit from all sorts of animals and creatures from a barn owl to a large stick insect.
Our residents had a lovely warm welcome from all the residents and staff at Kenwyn and of course there was lots of delicious cake and coffee too.
World Cruise Tasting Event - Germany
Another very successful 'World Cruise' tasting event at Falmouth Court. This month we chose to stop in Germany to celebrate National Beer Day. Our chefs prepared lots of tasting bites for the residents to try all washed down with a variety of German beers for everyone to sample. The Black Forrest Gateau concluded the eating and went down very well.
Haley our General Manager got everyone singing along to some classics from the 'Sound of Music' and then the care team entertained everyone with a beer race around the garden!
