Activities at Falmouth Court Care Home

Falmouth Court Care Home is celebrating an incredible achievement as Yvonne Smith has been named Carer of the Year across the entire Barchester company.

Known for her dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to providing outstanding care, Yvonne has become a shining example of excellence within the team. Her colleagues and residents alike praise her for making a real difference every single day.

“We couldn’t be prouder of Yvonne,” said a spokesperson for Falmouth Court. “This recognition is so well deserved and reflects the remarkable contribution she makes to our community.”

We were delighted to take part in the recent Emergency Services Day, held at the Falmouth fire station. The event was a fantastic opportunity to meet the dedicated firefighters who work tirelessly to keep our community safe. Residents got an up-close look at the engines, equipment, and even had the chance to try their hand at handling the hoses—making for plenty of laughter and smiles.

To show our appreciation for the team’s hard work, we brought along some homemade cakes, which were warmly received by the fire crew. It was a day filled with community spirit, fun, and gratitude, perfectly captured in the picture of one of our residents enjoying themselves with the fire hose.

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. 

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. 

Another day to remember here at Falmouth Court Care Home as we welcomed two very special four-legged guests — Terence and Eeyonre — for a heartwarming horse therapy visit!   

The joy on our residents’ faces said it all — gentle noses to stroke, soft eyes to connect with, and the simple, calming presence of these beautiful animals created such a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere.

A huge thank you to Neal Brenton and Gail Brenton for making this moment possible and sharing Terence and Eeyonre with us. At Falmouth Court, we believe in moments that matter — and this is one of them.  

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.   

Residents at Falmouth Court Care Home were treated to a truly special afternoon this week as Robert, the son of one of our residents, brought his electric violin to the home for a live performance.

Robert’s beautiful playing created a warm and uplifting atmosphere, delighting residents and team members alike. His proud mum, Pat, was overjoyed to see her son perform for her and her friends.

We’re incredibly grateful to Robert for his continued support and for sharing his talent with our Falmouth Court community. Visits like this are a wonderful part of our Life Enrichment Programme, designed to bring joy, connection, and creativity to every day.

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.
