Falmouth Court Care Home in Falmouth marked the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember.
The home was decorated in red, white and blue and residents and staff dressed up in their 1940s-inspired glad rags and enjoyed an afternoon of big band music and dancing.
Head chef Jon Moyle whipped up a delicious selection of freshly-baked scones with jam and cream (Jam first of course), sandwiches, cakes and pastries for the occasion, all washed down with pots of tea and a celebratory glass of fizz to mark the occasion.
Everyone enjoyed music from singer ‘Andy the Crooner’ who sung many classics including Frank Sinatra ‘New York New York’ and Bobby Darin ‘Mack the Knife’. Penryn’s Royal British Legion’s President, Chaz Weymouth came along with a group of members to give a talk to our residents to end the afternoon.
Haley Reeve-Larson, General Manager at Falmouth Court said: “Many of our residents can remember the end of the war and we all know what it meant for our country so we wanted to celebrate the date and listen to our residents memories of the war and the experiences they lived through. We had the added bonus of holding the event in the garden to enjoy the sun too.”
Falmouth Court is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Falmouth Court provides residential care, dementia care and respite care.
