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
General Election Day.
Yesterday most of our residents opted to vote via the postal service. However Mary and Hilda decided they would like to go and vote in person. So of course we facilitated this for them. Mary mentioning the importance of women being able to vote and being seen to do so.
We then of course took a trip up to Pendennis Point for the ladies to enjoy a delicious ice cream from Falmouth Dairy. Mary enjoyed a salted caramel and Hilda coffee.
Exercise class with G-Fitness.
Our residents enjoyed their monthly fitness class with the lovely Torran from G-Fitness. Our ladies love their session with him as he brings such great variety to each class. This sessions favourite was the punch pads, as you can see Gill is smiling with glee as takes part in the fun activity. We encourage much movement and exercise within our varied activities schedule. Our team usually start most days with some form of exercise to get everyone moving and feeling ready for the day ahead.
'Forget Me Nots Choir'
Another wonderful visit from the 'Forget Me Nots Choir' who came and performed for our residents. The ladies gave us a fabulous show from their new summer program with us being the first to hear it! Everyone had a lovely afternoon which of course was followed by coffee and cake.
A huge thank you from all at Falmouth Court to the ladies for coming in and entertaining everyone.
Fish 'n' Chips on the Beach
Another trip out to the beach this week for some of our residents. They even had fish and chips to enjoy while taking in the summer sun and the various activities taking place on the beech. We love getting our residents out and about in the local community as much as possible. Especially when the sun is shining!
Donkey Sanctuary Trip
What a lovely sunny trip we all had to The Flicka Foundation Donkey Sanctuary. Our ladies and gent had a lovely afternoon seeing the donkeys and ponies. Everyone enjoyed the first 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 while choosing which donkey to adopt for the home! After careful consideration everyone chose 'Walter'. So our activities team will be signing up to adopt Walter very soon!
Get Barchester Moving - 17-23 June
We got moving and put the ‘fun’ into ‘fundraising’ with amazing activities, chair yoga and exercise classes to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.
Last year, the Foundation achieved a donation milestone of £225,000 which enabled the charity to provide vital help to a staggering 160 small groups and charities, plus 87 individuals, in one year alone.
We had the most wonderful time fundraising and were thrilled to be joined by family, friends and local community members.
