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
Community Dementia Cafe success
Last week we hosted Kenwyn’s Community Dementia cafe.
Our cafes offer support for friends, families and others in the community supporting those living with Dementia. An excellent opportunity to meet with others in similar situations. Also a time to relax, unwind and enjoy a couple of hours at Kenwyn.
This week we invited our friends from Falmouth Court Care Home - Barchester Healthcare and our entertainment was the fantastic Mark's Ark Wildlife Encounters
A huge thank you to all who attended once more & watch this space for details of the next one.
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.
