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.

With laughter and anticipation in the air, our amazing team prepared for a day filled with natural beauty, tranquility, and cherished moments. We set off on our journey, leaving behind the cares of everyday life and immersing ourselves in the wonders of nature.

Together, we strolled hand in hand along the winding paths, exploring the hidden treasures of this botanical wonderland. The residents delighted in the exquisite flowers and took in the panoramic views of the picturesque Helford River.
We paused to enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, sharing laughter and stories under the shade of ancient trees. The bonds of friendship and community grew stronger as we reveled in each other's company, cherishing these precious moments together.

Magic Table Fun
Did you know we have a 'Magic Table' in our dementia community here at Falmouth Court.
The Magic Table is an interactive light projector that was originally developed in the Netherlands. It's a specialist piece of technology designed to support residents living with dementia. It is proven to help staff promote stimulation through specialised games.
The colourful light projections respond to hand and arm movements, enabling residents to play with the light itself, increasing both movement and stimulation.
