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.

Gardening Club gets underway at Falmouth Court

Great news from Falmouth Court Care Home! The residents have started their very own gardening club!

The club is a wonderful way for our residents to get outside and enjoy the fresh air while planting, tending, and nurturing their very own garden. Not only is gardening a great way to stay active and healthy, but it also provides a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

Our residents are thrilled to be able to share their love of gardening with each other and to see the fruits (and veggies!) of their labor grow over time. We can't wait to see what they will create together in their garden.

Trip to the Beach Café

Just got back from a heartwarming outing with the residents of Falmouth Court! We took a trip down to Gylly Beach Café for some coffee and it was wonderful to see how much they enjoyed themselves. The sun was trying to shine and there was a gentle sea breeze blowing, which made for a perfect day out. It was great to be able to get everyone out of the care home and give them a change of scenery. The staff at the cafe were so accommodating and made us all feel very welcome. I'm sure this outing will be a cherished memory for all involved.

Falmouth Court Create Window Display for Sue Ryder Charity Shop.

Residents of a Falmouth Court care home have teamed up to create a beautiful display of paper butterflies for the window of their local Sue Ryder charity shop in Falmouth. The project, which took place in the home’s activity room, was a labour of love for the residents who were thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to their community.

Working together, residents carefully crafted over 60 paper butterflies in a range of colours and sizes. Each butterfly was lovingly made with attention to detail and a sense of joy that was evident in the final product.

The butterflies are now on display in the window of the Sue Ryder charity shop, where they have become a popular attraction for passersby. Customers and staff members alike have expressed their admiration for the display, with many noting how the colourful butterflies bring a sense of joy and happiness to their day.

"We are absolutely delighted with the display that the residents of the care home have created," said Simon Walker, Manager of the Sue Ryder charity shop. "It is so heartwarming to see the community come together in this way, and we are grateful for the efforts of everyone involved."

The project has had a positive impact on the residents of the care home as well, providing them with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Staff members report that residents are thrilled to see their work on display and are eager to start on their next creative project.

A community donation from Falmouth Court last week. The Falmouth Library held a

very informative talk to celebrate the legacy of Passmore Edwards, were are reminded of the importance of community and the kindness that can be shown towards one another along with his huge generosity to Cornwall.
