Activities at Kenwyn Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Jools Wyngaard
South African born Jools joined the team here at Kenwyn in March 2023 as Activities Coordinator after she decided to try life in the UK with her partner.
Jools' background is in Fundraising and Digital Marketing however after witnessing her Grandmother live with Dementia has since always wanted to work more closely with the aged and vulnerable and enrich the lives of residents.
In her spare time Jools loves her animals and misses her cats who are with her family in South Africa.

On Friday in Kenwyn, we had the unrivalled pleasure of welcoming the Cascade Theatre Company.
Such a huge privilege and event for us to host.
The Cascade Theatre company research, write and present arts-based work relevant to your stated needs, bringing a unique blend of drama, psychology and sheer, big-hearted fun. It can involve workshops, plays, films, sketches, training programmes to name but a few.
The play was advertised as coming to Kenwyn on Radio Cornwall and has toured more than 40 care homes in the UK with incredible success.
This time the play presented to us was the beautifully interactive ‘Four Seasons.’ Each season depicted by its own interactive prop, theme and story.
