Activities at Falmouth Court Care Home

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Celebrating life at Falmouth Court Care Home

Horsin' Around

There is no typical day at Falmouth Court. We recently welcomed two very special four legged friends Terence and Eyore. They spent the afternoon with our residents and their faces said it all. They even got in the lift and had a tour of the home. Thank you Animal Therapy we cant wait to welcome you back again.

Team work makes the dream work

We are so thrilled to share we have been nominated for Care Provider of the year at the Proud to Care Awards. These nominations are a reflection of the passion commitment and kindness our team brings every single day. Its true what they say its not the winning its the taking part.

Christmas Party Time

Over the weekend we held our annual Christmas Party for the residents and staff to have a fun get together and play some fund games and have a festive sing song. Everyone had a fabulous time with lots of delicious treats being passed around along with a fun Christmas music quiz.

All was rounded off with the staff all dressed in Christmas jumpers and glam, singing the 12 days of Christmas to all the residents. An unforgettable night was had by all.

Pasty Making Afternoon

This week Mikey one of our 2nd Chefs held a pasty making class for our residents. Everyone had a spectacular time taking part in a traditional activity many had done throughout their lives. Everyone reminisced and shared stories of pasty making for their families in the past.

Here at Falmouth Court we know that leaving behind pastimes previously enjoyed can be a little difficult. This is why our activities team get to know each individual and aim to help our residents continue with these to ensure interests and hobbies can remain a part of their lives.

Festive Church Service at Falmouth Court

We had a lovely festive themed visit from Churches Together this week at Falmouth Court. The Church group visit us every months and its hugely popular with out residents.

It's always a great pleasure to welcome them in and give out residents the chance to enjoy their pastimes.

Christmas Tree Shopping

So we loaded up the minibus and headed over to Chacewater Garden Centre this week with some of our ladies to choose the homes Christmas Tree. We had the best time with lots of laughter and dancing along to all the Christmas tunes as the team there helped us find the biggest tree.

Everyone enjoyed a look around the Christmas aisles before having some delicious cakes and hot chocolates in the café.

Christmas Shopping Trip

Here at Falmouth Court we took a group of our ladies christmas shopping. We will be running several trips for our residents through these up and coming festive months to allow them to buy their gifts for loved ones.

Our ladies enjoyed a coffee after their shopping and were very happy to support our Life Enrichment team to pick some new decorations for our home displays this year!

Remembrance Parade

We managed to get out in the sun at the weekend and took some of our residents along to the magnificent Remembrance Parade in Falmouth's Kimberly Park. The Parade made its way through the town and out residents had front row seats at the service at Falmouth's War Memorial. A very important day for everyone.

Helston Railway Trip

Our residents had a lovely spooky trip out last week to the Helston Railway.

Helston Railway being the most southern railway in the UK were running some special Halloween themed trips so we thought we would load up the mini bus and go along for a ride.

With lots of pumpkins and spooktacular decorations along the way, everyone had a fantastic time. With coffees and hot chocolates in hand, tales of train rides of yester year were shared by our residents as we travelled along the Cornish countryside.
