Activities at Kenwyn Care Home

Not all Heroes wear capes, but all Heroes deserve Heroes!

International Nurses Day is celebrated each year on May 12th in recognition of Florence Nightingale's Birthday.

At Kenwyn we are extremely fortunate to have fantastic nurses who own a huge skill set. Nobody will deny that being a nurse comes with huge responsibility and this week we gathered a handful of nurses for a little light-heartedness.

With gifts of Heroes and Fizz, Kenwyn’s nurses from Left to right: Adelina, Ella, Stacey, Gemma, Natasha and Diana enjoyed the moment before they were back with their residents.

We would like share our thanks to ALL of Kenwyn’s nurses who aren’t pictured and assure them that their gifts await them too!

We want to extend our thanks to all nurses around the world for the dedication you show.

Lisa Miners brought sunshine and smiles to Kenwyn once again with her fun-filled 'Songs of Sunshine' performance! Residents sang along, tapped their toes, and even got up to dance, making for a wonderful joy filled afternoon of musical memories. Music holds a special place in fostering memories and reminiscence, which is why we strive to offer diverse musical acts that cater to everyone's tastes. All our events are open to anyone who would like to join, so keep an eye out for the next performance and why not come along and create some wonderful memories together!

Our BT Community Companion calls are a hit week after week, offering our residents the chance to connect with BT's wonderful volunteers, providing a fantastic opportunity for socialising and making new friends.

Last week, our lovely resident, Margaret had a lovely chat with Justine. They exchanged stories about the breathtaking landscapes of Cornwall and Margaret's grandsons starting university. Margaret recently moved here to Kenwyn and found comfort in connecting with Justine, making settling into Kenwyn feel even more like home.

Thank you, BT, for your continued Community Companions partnership with Kenwyn.

Last week blessed us with days of glorious Cornish sunshine, and we soaked up every ray we could! To cap off a perfect week, yesterday we gathered in the garden for cheese platters and prosecco, sharing laughter and good company with friends. It was a beautiful day, and although we have some rain again, last week set the tone for a promising summer ahead. Here's to many more sunny days in the garden soon!

Our complimentary Breakfast for Emergency and Medical Workers was off to a flying start today. Mike and Olly were our first takers of the day today – and what a beautiful day it is.

With freshly baked pastries and a mug of hot coffee, they were both happy, especially as they took some homemade Carrot Cake away with them for later!

For the past 9 months, Pastor Charles Fleming from The Shekinah Centre Christian Church in Penzance has been a true blessing to our Kenwyn residents. His regular visits have brought personal and intimate services and prayer to our residents, offering them comfort, support, and a sense of spiritual fulfilment. Pastor Charles has forged beautiful connections with our residents, who eagerly anticipate his visits, as you can see from the smiles in these pictures.

We recognise the significance of spirituality in the lives of many residents, and we're deeply grateful to Shekinah Church and Pastor Charles's commitment to serving our community.

We invite anyone who would like to experience these uplifting services to join us on the second Thursday of every month at 11.30am.
