Celebrating life at Barchester

We were ecstatic to host our latest 'Toast & Roast' - a community event designed to celebrate Sundays with our local community - by hosting them for a complimentary Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, followed by live music. 

It was a full house and everyone stayed to enjoy a special live set from local talent, Jimmy, afterwards which even included a few Scottish songs in honour of Burns Night!  Jimmy was happy to take requests throughout his set and finished with the room's universal request for Frank Sinatra's "My Way".

A fabulous Sunday filled with food, friendship and Frank!

Falmouth Court celebrated its fourth birthday at the weekend with residents, families and staff coming together for a special afternoon of cake and live music.

Marking the milestone with a birthday cake, made by the very talented in-house chef team, and a special live violin performance from Rob, it created a relaxed and joyful atmosphere throughout the home.

The celebration reflects the care home's strong community spirit and its ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of residents in Falmouth. 

We were delighted to welcome a very special visit to our home this week, as a collection of unusual animals came to meet our residents. It was a truly memorable experience, filled with smiles, curiosity, and laughter. Residents enjoyed learning about the different species, gently interacting with them, and sharing stories inspired by the visit. Some of our residents very bravely handled a tarantula! Amongst other animals we also grabbed some cuddles with a meerkat and fed a tortoise!

The session was both relaxing and exciting, offering a wonderful sensory experience for everyone involved. Moments like these create lasting memories and bring something truly different to our daily life. We look forward to welcoming more unique experiences like this in the future.

Here at Westgate House, Baking day is a great day for residents to come together & make their favourite cakes whilst sharing recipes.

Residents at Westgate House had a fab day of entertainment at our local theatre. A great day of laughter & smiles.

Every Monday afternoon, our home comes alive with excitement as residents gather for our regular bingo games. It has become a favourite weekly tradition that everyone looks forward to. The room fills with friendly chatter, smiles, and a little competitive spirit as the numbers are called out. For many, it is not just about winning prizes, but about sharing moments together and enjoying each other’s company. Bingo encourages concentration, keeps minds active, and creates a wonderful sense of community. Residents often cheer for one another, and the joy in the room is truly heart-warming. These sessions help break up the week and give everyone something special to look forward to, making Monday a very happy day for all.

Residents were treated to a fantastic afternoon of Rock & Roll hits by Elvis impersonator Ian who entertained our residents & raised the roof with his music.

We are so proud of our keep warm project. Residents at Paternoster House are knitting colourful squares to create blankets for donation. 

What a wonderful day at Upton Bay .Our amazing community came together to celebrate our lovely Anne’s birthday with a delightful tea party. It was filled with laughter, smiles, and lots of sweet treats. Thank you to everyone who joined in to make Anne’s day so special.
