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.

General Manager, Haley Reeve-Larson and Home Services Advisor, Hugh Dickinson were welcomed to the afternoon session held for over 65’s to present the cheque and celebrate being awarded the grant. They took along some delicious cakes baked by the homes Head Chef, Jon Moyle and some goodie bags for all to enjoy.

Megan Beck, Director of Grays Wharf, said “The generous grant from Barchester has enabled us to buy art supplies for our creative social groups, supporting us to keep them going. Our members often comment on how great it is to have access to a wide range of drawing and painting materials, inspiring them to have a go and be proud of what they create”

Trip to Carnon Downs Garden Centre

We've just had the most wonderful day out for our residents at Falmouth Court Care Home! We visited Carnon Downs Garden Centre to stock up on plants for our gardening club, and everyone had a fantastic time. Our residents were able to choose their favorite flowers to our garden, and we even stopped for tea and cake in the garden centre's lovely café. It was such a joy to see everyone so happy and engaged in the activity, and we can't wait to see our garden flourish with all the new additions. Thank you, Carnon Downs Garden Centre, for such a wonderful experience!"
