St Patrick's Day gets the green light at Falmouth care home

Residents and staff at Falmouth Court celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick's Day this week.

The home on Dracaena Avenue was decorated with shamrocks and everyone dressed in green to mark the day.

Held on March 17th, 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. Guinness and Irish coffees were on offer throughout the day.

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."
