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
South African born Jools joined the team here at Kenwyn in March 2023 as Activities Coordinator after she decided to try life in the UK with her partner.
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
The lovely Rachel brings Kenwyn's residents to their feet
When Rachel visits us she even brightens this unpredictable weather Cornwall is seeing at the moment.
Our residents turned out in force to appreciate Rachel’s singing and moves on the dancefloor, with some even jiving the afternoon away!
We can’t wait until next time!
Lots of photos for you to browse - but we are sure you will agree they are worth it.

It feels like Pamper week at Kenwyn
This week it feels like pamper week at Kenwyn.
We have had the lovely Alana Hill Arnold - fantastic Beauty Therapist - visiting and pampering our residents and today, our Salons doors were well and truly open whilst Kenwyn’s hairdresser Tracey Ellard set to work making wishes come true for our residents and their locks.
Pictured you can see Moira in her before, during and after shots.
Moira hasn’t had her hair coloured for more than 30 years but today was time for a change!
Doesn’t she look wonderful?!

Community City Clean
At Kenwyn we love nothing more than getting out into the community and providing support.
Last week, Truro BID organised a litter pick in conjunction with ‘Keep Britain Tidy.’
Adele, our Home Services Advisor was really keen to take part and do her bit, she even made it on to Spotlight news for her efforts!
Getting right in amongst it in the hedgerows, she partnered up with Local Director at HSBC, Claire Hingston and they set to work, quickly filling bin bags. It was surprising to all just how much was cleared.
It was such a worthwhile activity! Deepening relationships with other business’s in the city as well as doing our part in Keeping Britain Tidy.
