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.
Jools Wyngaard

Jools' background is in Fundraising and Digital Marketing however after witnessing her Grandmother live with Dementia has since always wanted to work more closely with the aged and vulnerable and enrich the lives of residents.
In her spare time Jools loves her animals and misses her cats who are with her family in South Africa.

Life at Kenwyn Care Home
Kenwyn Hosts an interactive musical extravaganza
Recently one of our residents’ favourite acts joined us again.
The hugely popular Claire Hamlen and her brilliantly interactive musical performance had her audience captivated and we all enjoyed yet another wonderful afternoon.
National Fish and Chip Day celebrated at Kenwyn
The biggest day in the Fish and Chip Calender has to be Friday June 2nd which is National Fish and Chips Day!
Rich, delicious, full of flavour and utterly satisfying - that is the best way to describe this tasty treat made up of, well, fish…and chips!
National Fish and Chip Day commemorates this fundamental meal throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. And while its roots may lay on Britannia’s foggy shores, there are few places in the world that this comfort food hasn’t found its way to.
As you can see, we didn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate this!
Carer's Cafe is coming to Kenwyn
As we have seen, this week was International Carers week.
At Kenwyn we have some incredible Carers.
Here we can see Becky, Kenwyn’s General Manager with a box full of chocolatey treats for Care staff.
Becky wanted to take the opportunity that this week brings to reflect and thank all Carers for their hard work and love and support they bring to Kenwyn’s residents.
The Blue Light Breakfast returns to Kenwyn
We are running our fantastic Blue light Breakfast each Friday in June.
We just had our first and it didn’t disappoint.
A small thank you from all of us here at Kenwyn to all of our Emergency Services.
Kenwyn's wonderful gardens tendered to by Martin
We are really proud of our grounds here at Kenwyn. There aren’t many gardens like ours in Cornwall.
We make the most of them all year round but when the sun is shining like it is right now, we couldn’t wish for more.
Martin, Kenwyn’s gardener is out in all weathers and adores his work. He does an excellent job, we are sure you’ll agree.

We visit Falmouth Court with Word Searches
This week we all jumped into Kenwyn’s minibus and headed down to our sister home Falmouth Court Care Home - Barchester Healthcare for a special reason.
One of Kenwyn’s residents, Jane has been very busy with the support of Kenwyn’s Activity team creating lots of Word Searches.
We arranged with Falmouth Court Care Home - Barchester Healthcare Home Services Advisor, Hugh to head down on a beautiful summers day so that Jane could present and share her creations with the residents of Falmouth Court.
We spent a wonderful afternoon with all our residents enjoying the word searches.
Falmouth Court were wonderful, welcoming hosts, providing us all with refreshments and tasty treats. If you look at the photos, you may spot Ivan, Kenwyn’s maintenance man making the most of the wonderful hospitality.
We have already invited residents of Falmouth Court to come to Kenwyn and we look forward to sharing another lovely afternoon.
