Activities at Kenwyn Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Kenwyn Care Home
Truro School Choir Visit
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Truro School Choir into our home. Their stunning Christmas carols brought festive cheer and filled our home with joy.
The residents thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and it sparked wonderful conversations afterwards as they reminisced about their own school days and shared stories of college life.
A heartfelt thank you to the talented students and staff of Truro School for taking the time to visit us and spread such seasonal joy—it was a truly memorable day for everyone.
Jumping Out!
This week, we were treated to a wonderful afternoon of music and fun with the awesome Jumping Out Duo! Their lively performance had our residents tapping their feet, clapping along, and singing to some familiar tunes. It was a joyful experience that brought everyone together, filling the room with smiles, laughter, and plenty of rhythm. A big thank you to Jumping Out Duo for brightening our day and creating such wonderful memories!
Dementia Talk
We were delighted to welcome National Dementia expert Leon Smith to Kenwyn. His engaging and informative talk created a relaxed space for families and the community to ask questions and gain practical advice, fostering a deeper understanding of dementia. Attendees appreciated Leon’s approachable style, which made complex topics easier to grasp, and many left feeling more confident about supporting loved ones living with dementia.

The Power Of Music
Music is a cherished part of life in our home, and we recently enjoyed a visit from local musician Melanie Garside, who filled our day with beautiful melodies.
Our residents were thrilled to tap, clap, sing, and play along, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere. These musical moments are more than just entertainment – they uplift spirits, promote wellbeing, and foster a sense of togetherness within our community.
Music has the power to connect us, and experiences like this enrich daily life, making our home a special place to be.
