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
Superfight
We watched the classic 1996 fight between two boxing legends. Tyson vs Holyfield was billed a "finally" for the MBA Heavyweight Championship title. We enjoyed the fight and watching former undisputed Cruiserweight champion Holyfield become a two weight world champion as he defeated Tyson by 11th round TKO.
Live Entertainment
Kenwyn welcomed back their first live entertainment following, with singer Ruth Dymond joining us for an afternoon of live music.
Wimbledon Celebrations
To celebrate the gentlemen's final at Wimbledon between Serbia's, Novak Djokovic, and Italy's, Matteo Berrettini, our residents were treated to strawberries and cream with a glass of Champagne or Prosecco to either enjoy in one of our TV Lounges or from the comfort of their own room.
Painting Club
Residents enjoyed our new Painting Club. Each week has a different theme and most recently the theme was transportation, which saw various creations, including vintage cars, trains and even a bus!
Flower Pressing
Here at Kenwyn, our residents enjoyed pressing various flowers we found in our garden, working as a team to pick and press a wide variety of plants.
Safari Tour
Here at Kenwyn, we were treated to a live interactive tour of Knowsley Safari park, where we enjoyed a tour of the park and seeing how zookeepers stimulate the animals at dinner time with new innovative eating activities. This was finished with an interesting Q&A session, where our residents got their questions answered.
