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.

St.Pirans Day Celebrations 2024

We had a wonderful day celebrating St.Pirans Day here at Falmouth Court. Everyone enjoyed some amazing sea shanties sung by Viv Robertson. Our residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the shanties which of course were followed by saffron buns, scones with jam and clotted cream.

St. Piran's Day was said to be a favourite with the tinners who having a tradition that some secrets regarding the manufacture of tin were communicated to their ancestors by that saint, they leave the manufacture to shift for itself for that day, and keep it as a holiday.

Trip to Princess Pavilions

A beautiful day for a trip out to Princess Pavilion for a coffee, cake and walk in the gardens.

For David it’s the first time he’s been well enough to go out since last October, he’s been in a community hospital since then and has recently come to stay with us. It was a delight to get him out into the community and give him his first pint in months. His lovely friend, Iris, joined us and it was a fantastic surprise for him! Safe to say his smile says it all.

Bobby Beautiful’s Quiz Night

Bobby Beautiful’s Quiz Night is always a hit with our residents and families!

Our Head of Maintenance, Bob always puts on a fantastic quiz evening to get our residents using their memory muscles.

We enjoyed a selection of wines and beers as well as pub style snacks prepared by our Activities Co-Ordinator, Karen who kept everyone well fed and watered.

Lots of laughs and jokes shared by all!

Shopping and Seaside

A trip to town shopping and a stroll along the harbour front! Nothing beats getting out on a sunny day and making the most of the winter sunshine 

We are very lucky to have our home mini bus to get out and about either one to one or in groups. Our residents enjoy being able to remain active within Falmouth community and we take pleasure in supporting smiles like these

This particular lovely lady told us that she hasn’t had a trip to the shops in years before living at Falmouth Court and she felt delighted to be able to browse the shops once more
