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.

Activities Lead

Hi, I'm Belinda, Activities Lead at Falmouth Court. 

My first experience in the care sector was working privately for a local doctors family member, who needed some support. Later, when my children grew older, I worked in care in the community for a while, which I found very rewarding.

I try to create engaging experiences that spark memories and joy for the residents.  Making them smile and encouraging them to continue to live their lives to the fullest, and seeing them continue to enjoy hobbies, or just having a chat with them about their lives is heart-warming. By working with their families and asking the residents themselves what they would like to help enrich their lives is my goal.

When I'm not working I enjoy gardening and walking my dog on the beaches in the winter, and the countryside in the summer.

Quaker Meeting House Visit

Quaker Meeting House Visit

Our residents visited the Quaker meeting house at Come-to-Good, built in 1710, and it felt like stepping back in time. The building still has many original features, which made it very special to see.
 
We were given a warm welcome by the members, who kindly shared a short talk about the history of the Quakers and their beliefs in kindness and equality. They were happy to answer our questions and took time to explain everything clearly.
We also enjoyed freshly brewed coffee and homemade cake, which made the visit even more pleasant.
Sweet Easter Treats

What a wonderful afternoon we had at Falmouth Court celebrating VE Day. Kayleigh led a fantastic singalong of wartime classics and treated everyone  to some wonderful flute and guitar playing.

A truly special afternoon that reminded us all of the importance of VE Day.

We enjoyed a relaxed outing for a little retail therapy at Homeleigh Garden Centre. Residents took their time browsing plants, gifts and everyday items, choosing a few favourites along the way.

Stepping into Spring

Stepping into Spring

The first sunshine of the season has arrived and it truly feels like spring is on its way.
