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
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.
Beach Trip
We've had some beautiful weather here in sunny Cornwall, so a beach trip was a must. Sand in our toes and ice lollies at hand!
Easter Donations
Our activities team donated the left over Easter goodie boxes to the kids on the children's ward of Treliske Hospital. We hope they like this Easter treat!
Snow at Kenwyn
We have recently had a downpour of snow. All the residents have enjoyed the winter wonderland!
Mother's Day
Residents at Kenwyn celebrated Mother’s Day with flower arranging and arts & crafts activities.
Staff arranged a tea party and a themed lunch and Head Chef, Joel Salunga, prepared a special menu of potato & leek soup, roast beef with all the trimmings, followed by apple and plum crumble to mark the day.
