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 have moved to Falmouth from Kent where I was already in place at another Barchester home as the Activities Coordinator. I love providing our residents with fulfilling activities and my specialty is arts and crafts. I have a degree in Fine Arts and achieved a first in the subject. 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
Music Therapy with Claire
This week our residents enjoyed a fabulous musical afternoon with Claire.
It was thoroughly enjoyed by both residents and staff. Claire performed quite the variety of songs throughout the afternoon and combines music with movement which is always beneficial for our residents.
St.Patricks Day Celebrations
Residents and staff at Falmouth Court celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick’s Day last week.
Held on March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day actually observes the death of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but the day has come to be a huge celebration of Irish heritage and culture.
Staff and residents at the home marked the day by decorating the home with green garlands and four leaf clovers and listening to Irish music. Guinness and Irish coffees were on offer throughout the day and then in the evening a singer came an performed for everyone in our beautiful lounge.
St.Pirans Day Celebrations
Our Residents had a lovely time celebrating St.Pirans Day this week. Pasties made by our talented chefs were served for lunch and then in the afternoon our activities team carried out a Cornish Trivia quiz and everyone enjoyed some saffron buns and coffee.
"St. Piran's Day was said to be a favourite with the tinners who having a tradition that some secrets regarding the manufacture of tin were communicated to their ancestors by that saint, they leave the manufacture to shift for itself for that day, and keep it as a holiday."
Food Hygiene 5* Very Good
Another wonderful success for our fabulous Head Chef Jon and his hard working team. We had our food hygiene inspection last week and we are happy to say we scored 5, Very Good!
Jon and his team work very hard to provide pour residents with an excellent culinary offering.
Our menus are composed of only the best fresh produce and cooked to the highest quality, with aims for the natural aroma and taste to be retained as best as possible. A great deal of care is taken to accommodate all dietary requirements, and our meals are always prepared with the likes and dislikes of residents taken into consideration.
Violin Afternoon
Another musical treat for our residents! The son of one of our respite guests happens to play the violin so he kindly came in to perform for everyone. It was such a huge treat and something a little different from our usual full music agenda.
'National Drink Wine Day'
What a lovely afternoon our residents had over the weekend celebrating 'National Drink Wine Day'.
National Drink Wine Day is held each year on February 18. Wine has been a staple in human culture since its invention in 7000 BC. Some ancient societies enjoyed their wine so much, they even worshiped it! These days, hundreds of types of wine are produced all over the world, so there’s an endless variety to choose from.
Our residents enjoyed sampling some different wines with of course some cheese and crackers to go with.
