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.

Understanding the year of the OX
The residents and Staff at Kenwyn Care Home welcomed in the Chinese New Year. Our Residents created Chinese New Year decorations, masks and paper crafts. 2021 is the year of the Ox so we retold the zodiac story and searched online to see which zodiac animal we all were. It was great fun and our residents found it so interesting.

This afternoon our staff and residents have been very creative. We have joined the trend of painting rocks bright and interesting colours. The rocks will then be taken by the staff and hidden around Cornwall for families to find and replace with their own.
