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 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!
Armed Forces Day Yacht Trip
Resident, Kay Stevenson-Bromley, here at Falmouth Court Care Home had wanted to return to the seas on a yacht again having previously sailed around the world in her younger years, so we made her wish a reality proving the old adage, it’s never too late.
Kay has lived at Falmouth Court for 6 months and is loved by staff and residents alike. Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making her dream come true.
Haley our General Manager, who arranged the charter of yacht opted to take Kay, who was also accompanied by Pat Brown and Gerry Stock out into Falmouth Bay to watch the air show on Armed Forces Day. All 3 residents having big links to the Armed Forces throughout their lives.
Hugh our Home Services Advisor and Haley were determined to help Kay recreate a picture of Kay sitting on the bow of the yacht taken roughly 45 years ago. Kay was over joyed when her dream was realised
In response to this wonderful surprise, Kay, said: “It was such an amazing day. The team helping me to recreate my picture from my earlier years was such fun and something I will treasure. It is such an amazing feeling to know that such a loving group of people care so much about me that they helped me to live out a dream – and I didn’t even ask.”
Haley, said: “We believe that every moment is worth cherishing. We want everyone we care for to know how important they are to us here at Falmouth Court. It is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in making our residents’ dreams come true. It was wonderful to see how happy Kay, Pat and Gerry were – and the staff loved being a part of this as well.”

Musical Therapy Delights Residents of Falmouth Court Care Home!
Yesterday, Melanie, a talented musician and advocate for musical therapy, paid a special visit to our beloved care home, and the experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment she arrived with her guitar in hand, the atmosphere filled with anticipation and excitement.
Melanie's passion for using music as a healing tool was evident in every note she played. As she strummed her guitar and sang beautiful melodies, a wave of tranquility washed over the residents, and smiles lit up their faces. The power of music to touch our souls and uplift our spirits was on full display!
Not only did Melanie serenade the residents with popular classics and their favorite tunes, but she also engaged them in interactive sessions. Everyone was encouraged to sing along, clap their hands, and even try their hand at playing musical instruments. Laughter and joy echoed through the halls, forging new connections and fostering a sense of community.
The therapeutic benefits of music were undeniable during Melanie's visit. It was truly remarkable to witness the transformation in our residents as they tapped into memories, emotions, and moments of sheer happiness. The healing power of music transcended all barriers, bringing comfort, solace, and a renewed sense of vitality to each and every person present.
