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.

Life at Falmouth Court Care Home

Musical Therapy Delights Residents of Falmouth Court Care Home!

Yesterday, Melanie, a talented musician and advocate for musical therapy, paid a special visit to our beloved care home, and the experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment she arrived with her guitar in hand, the atmosphere filled with anticipation and excitement.

Melanie's passion for using music as a healing tool was evident in every note she played. As she strummed her guitar and sang beautiful melodies, a wave of tranquility washed over the residents, and smiles lit up their faces. The power of music to touch our souls and uplift our spirits was on full display!

Not only did Melanie serenade the residents with popular classics and their favorite tunes, but she also engaged them in interactive sessions. Everyone was encouraged to sing along, clap their hands, and even try their hand at playing musical instruments. Laughter and joy echoed through the halls, forging new connections and fostering a sense of community.

The therapeutic benefits of music were undeniable during Melanie's visit. It was truly remarkable to witness the transformation in our residents as they tapped into memories, emotions, and moments of sheer happiness. The healing power of music transcended all barriers, bringing comfort, solace, and a renewed sense of vitality to each and every person present.

A Trip to Trebah Garden

I am thrilled to share some sunny news from Falmouth Court Care Home! Yesterday, our wonderful residents embarked on a truly enchanting adventure in the minibus to the breathtaking Trebah Garden .

With laughter and anticipation in the air, our amazing team prepared for a day filled with natural beauty, tranquility, and cherished moments. We set off on our journey, leaving behind the cares of everyday life and immersing ourselves in the wonders of nature.

As we arrived at Trebah Gardens, a paradise nestled amidst Cornwall's stunning landscape, our residents' eyes lit up with joy. The vibrant colours of blooming flowers, the gentle rustling of leaves, and the scent of nature's perfumes surrounded us, creating a serene atmosphere.

Together, we strolled hand in hand along the winding paths, exploring the hidden treasures of this botanical wonderland. The residents delighted in the exquisite flowers and took in the panoramic views of the picturesque Helford River.

We paused to enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, sharing laughter and stories under the shade of ancient trees. The bonds of friendship and community grew stronger as we reveled in each other's company, cherishing these precious moments together.
