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.

World Friendship Day 2023
To celebrate World Friendship Day our residents decided to make friendship bracelets for their loved ones. Our activities team sourced lots of bright coloured beads and everyone spent the afternoon making bracelets to their individual taste.
World Friendship Day, also known as International Day of Friendship takes place on 30th July.
The original idea for a day of friendship came from Hallmark cards in the 1930’s. Originally celebrated on 2nd August, the day was largely viewed cynically by the public as a money making exercise, sales of friendship day cards did not take off in Europe and by the mid-1940’s the day had faded into obscurity in the USA. The idea of a day to honour friendship was, however, adopted by a number of countries in Asia where it remained a popular custom to reserve a day for celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts between friends.
The first World Friendship Day was proposed for 30 July 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade, an international civil organisation that campaigns to foster a culture of peace through friendship. Many years later, in 2011, the 30th July was declared as the International Day of Friendship by the General Assembly of United Nations.
With the growing popularity of social media throughout the world, there has been an increase in celebrating World Friendship day and International Day of Friendship online as well as with community activities in local communities aimed at bringing those of different backgrounds together.

Trip out for a Pint
A lovely Sunday afternoon trip to Falmouth Golf Club for our residents. We loaded up our minibus and took them out to enjoy the gap in the rain. Everyone enjoyed an afternoon tipple while taking in the breathtaking views over Falmouth Bay towards
St. Anthony's Head. Laughter filled the air as everyone shared stories of days gone by.
Pamper Afternoon
We couldn't have asked for a more fabulous and relaxing day here at Falmouth Court Care Home! Yesterday our amazing ladies were treated to a well-deserved pamper afternoon.
From hand massages to rejuvenating facials, our lovely residents were pampered like royalty. The smiles and laughter filled our beautiful Cafe, and it truly reminded us of the importance of self-care and taking time to indulge in life's little pleasures.
To add some extra sweetness to the afternoon, our chef's prepared delightful fruit platter and and we offered some invigorating fruit smoothies for everyone to enjoy. The cucumber for the eyes was even grown by our resident gardening club!
Queen's Jubilee Tree
Do you remember the tree we planted for the Queens Jubilee?
Last June we took our resident on a trip to the the garden centre to choose a tree to plant in our beautiful garden to commemorate the Queen's Jubilee. They chose a Cotoneaster. This has white flowers with red berries so quite fitting.
Well 1 year on and look how well it is doing!
Our avid gardening club take great pride in our gardens and we encourage and support all residents to continue their interests and hobbies where possible.
