RESIDENTS at a care home in Falmouth have celebrated Saint Patrick's Day with staff decorating the home and listening to Irish music.
Residents and staff at Falmouth Court in Falmouth celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick’s Day. The home was decorated with shamrocks and everyone dressed in green to mark the day.
Held on March 17, Saint Patrick's Day actually observes the death of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but the day has come to be a huge celebration of Irish heritage and culture.
Staff and residents at the home marked the day by decorating the home with green garlands and four-leaf clovers and listening to Irish music. Gunnies and Irish coffees were on offer throughout the day and in the evening everyone was entertained by a local singer.
General Manager, Haley Reeve-Larson said: "Our residents have all had a brilliant day today, everyone has enjoyed the festivities – I think we all agree St Patrick’s Day is the best of all the saints days!
"We had a fantastic time listening to Irish music and watching Irish dancing, we sampled some lovely Irish whiskeys too."
Falmouth Court Care Home's varied life enrichment program aims to keep residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental, and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
