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
Decorating Falmouth Court
What a joyous afternoon our residents had decorating our magnificent tree kindly donated by William Highbourne Wealth Management. A huge thank you to them for this very kind gesture. William Highbourne Wealth Management work very closely with us to provide residents and families with advice regarding paying for care.
Everyone had a wonderful time hanging the decorations and then our activities team got everyone singing Christmas carols throughout the afternoon.
Christmas Tree Festival at Princess Pavilions
What a joyful start to the Christmas festivities at Falmouth Court with a trip out to decorate our tree at the Christmas Tree Festival at Princess Pavilions.
Twenty-seven community groups from in and around Falmouth are each decorating a tree with the theme of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ to celebrate the return of Miracle Theatre to Princess Pavilion, with their pantomime of the same name.
It took four trips each way in our minibus to get everyone there and back but it was very much worth it. Everyone loved decorating the Falmouth Court tree and viewing all of the others too. Then of course everyone enjoyed some lovely refreshments in the cafe afterwards.
World Cruise 2nd Stop Spain!
Our second World Cruise stop in Spain was a great success and enjoyed hugely by the residents of Falmouth Court. We docked and our residents their families and friends enjoyed all sorts of delicious sampling bites from Spain prepared by our very talented chef Jon. Sharon from our kitchen team dressed up for the occasion and got everyone singing along to some Spanish music too.
Hugh our Home Services Advisor had also carefully selected some Spanish wines for everyone to taste and discuss.
Then David our activities coordinator got everyone's brains working with a Spanish trivia quiz.
Watch this space for next months stop in Portugal! Why not come along and join the fun.
Creature Feature Visit
Our Residents and Staff enjoyed another fabulous visit from The Creature Feature Show Community Interest Company this week. There really is nothing better than some animal therapy. Our residents faces light up when we welcome animals into the building to spend time with them. The Creature Feature Show Community Interest Company have such a wide variety of 'creatures' too.
Sing along
The Residents and Staff at Falmouth Court had a lovely singalong in our beautiful Garden Lounge this week. Our dedicated care team decided to get everyone together and sing a few classics throughout the afternoon.
Pianist and Singer visit Falmouth Court
Another musical treat this week for our residents albeit a slightly different one. We were joined by Alicia and Lucy, a pianist and singer. It was such a lovely treat to hear the beautiful piano music throughout the home coupled with Lucy's wonderful song.
