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.

July's Community Dementia Cafe was another huge success
Rain or shine, our monthly Dementia Café was an absolute blast! The weather couldn't stop us from having a fantastic time as we brought the picnic and garden games indoors. Laughter and smiles filled the room as our amazing residents, along with their loving family and friends, enthusiastically joined in on skittles, mini-golf, tennis, dancing, and even a parachute game! It was truly a day full of joy and wonderful memories!
Ken from Sounds are Us
We had another entertaining day here at Kenwyn as Ken from "Sounds Are Us" filled our hearts with joy and our souls with music as he strummed his guitar, creating an enchanting atmosphere for our residents and their families who joined. The smiles on their faces said it all - they had an absolute blast, singing along and swaying to the rhythm.
Residents show their creativity with a flower arranging class
Our hallways and residents' rooms were transformed into a breathtaking summer garden yesterday! We spent the afternoon immersed in the art of flower arranging, creating enchanting bouquets with the most exquisite seasonal blooms. Each arrangement is a reflection of the individuality and beauty of the residents who lovingly crafted them. We had a wonderful time celebrating the beauty of nature and the creativity it inspires in us!
Greg Watts returns to Kenwyn
Our regular entertainer, Greg, was back again this week for another afternoon of fun! The room was filled with the sweet sound of nostalgia as our lovely residents sang along to timeless classics, reminiscing about cherished memories tied to these beloved songs. A special day was had by all!
