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.

St Pirans Day -Kenwyn Style
Cornwall celebrated St Piran’s Day on March 5th. We learn about St Piran in primary school.
Many believe St Piran was a Bishop who was exiled from Ireland in the early 6th century by those who were envious of his ability to heal.
Legend suggested that he was thrown to Sea attached to millstone and somehow managed to sail safely to Cornwall, landing on a small beach near Newquay which was named Perran Beach in his honour. It was here that Saint Piran built his Oratory – a small chapel whose remains can still be seen today, submerged in sand.
We celebrated at Kenwyn the best way we can in Cornwall – with Cornish Pasties.
