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

National 'Feed the Birds Day'

To celebrate National 'Feed the Birds Day' we loaded up some of the residents of Falmouth Court into our minibus and headed down to Swanpool lake to feed the birds. Everyone was thrilled to have a stroll along the lake side and the birds were thrilled to have the feeding too!

 

After we took everyone up to Falmouth Golf Club for some coffee and refreshments and everyone enjoyed the spectacular view over Falmouth bay towards St. Anthony's Head.

National Activity Providers Week

Happy National Activity Providers Week! We would like to take this opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful Activity Coordinators here at Falmouth Court, Davis Saunders and Chloe Collins.

We are proud of each and every one of our team for the unique, outstanding activities and entertainment they bring to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.

As part of the week, our Activities Coordinators have been taking part in a whole host of events provided by NAPA, connecting and sharing ideas with teams across the country.

Special celebrations are also taking place at the home throughout the week with residents, friends and fellow colleagues.

Another trip to Carnon Downs Memory Café

Supporting our local community is very important to us here at Falmouth Court. Along with enhancing our residents lives to be the fullest that can possibly be.

This week we loaded up the minis bus with residents and took them along to Carnon Downs Memory Cafe, being previous attendees we wanted to make sure they can still carry on this aspect of their life that they enjoy so much.

Everyone enjoyed an afternoon of music from singer Nigel Skewes, along with added fun game of balloon tennis, tea and cake.

Goodbye Alexandria!

A fond farewell to our covering General Manager Alexandria Bowman, Alex has kept Falmouth Court running while our General Manager Haley was away. Alex has been a huge help in supporting the home in Haley's absence.

Alex will now be moving on to help and support other Barchester homes throughout the southwest.

Snow Day!

Snow Day!

The residents of Falmouth Court were most sad we did not get any snow down in Falmouth so we loaded them up into the mini bus and took them up the hill to see the snow. When it was safe to do so of course!

Everyone's faces were beaming to see the snow covered fields and even though this trip did not involve a stop it was very much enjoyed. Getting out and about can be tricky in the winter months but we always try to make sure our residents have that opportunity.

Dorothy's Piano Arrives at Falmouth Court

What a joyous day for Dorothy one of our residents here at Falmouth Court. Her family kindly arranged for her beloved piano to be moved from her old home in Bridlington all the way to Falmouth Court. Dorothy loves to play piano and we are so pleased she is now able to do so on her own piano when ever she likes. Musical therapy is so vital and here at Falmouth Court we loved to enable our residents to enjoy activities and hobbies they have a keen interest in.
