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
Knit & Natter
Every week, we come together for our 'Knit and Natter' morning, where we have a group session of knitting, a cup of tea and a chat!
Halloween Spooktacular
Residents, loved ones and staff members all dressed up horrifically for the occasion. We also carved some pumpkins and prepared some spooktacular refreshments.
1950s-Themed Open Day
We hosted a 1950's-themed open day, consisting of live vocalist entertainment and a party, where everyone dressed to impress! We also had flower arranging and seated exercises, along with plenty of sweet treats. Everyone had a great time!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Staff, residents and family members joined us for our Macmillan Coffee Morning, and we managed to raise £220 in total. We all baked cakes for the occasion and, of course, we ate plenty too! Such a great morning for such a great cause!
Owltimate Encounters
Residents enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon stroking and holding reptiles, skinny pigs, rabbits and tarantulas! The animals were even able to visit less mobile residents in their rooms. Tallons Owltimate Encounters comes in every other week by popular demand.
Trevaskis Farm
Staff and residents recently enjoyed a trip to Trevaskis Farm. We all loved looking at the different animals and picking strawberries, whilst also making the most of the lovely weather.
