Meet The Manager
Catalin Danciu is General Manager at Falmouth Court Care Home.
I am originally from Romania where I graduated from Generalist Nurse College as a Generalist Nurse and worked as a nurse in protection of children with disabilities. I have a passion for supporting care teams and have responsibility for overseeing the resident care at Falmouth Court.
I’ve always been a very caring and empathic person and interested in how every person can be so unique. I am very passionate about high quality care using my clinical knowledge to develop carers I lead. I learnt during my travelling, the importance of contributing to people’s quality of life from residents to my colleagues including the difference quality care can make.
I have also studied Theatre and Arts. Being passionate about the arts I feel lucky to hear and learn about our resident’s stories, which makes them who they are. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our home.
Falmouth Court offers residential and dementia care including respite services, for those requiring shorter stays. Our beautiful new care home is only a short distance from the famous Falmouth Harbour.
Our care home provides support for frail older people with one-to-one approaches, which reflect individual interests, listed in detailed care plans. As with any Barchester home, our commitment to quality is reflected across all aspects of life within our home. Our skilled chefs are passionate about serving nutritious and delicious meals that cater to all tastes and dietary requirements, whilst our activities coordinators work hard to ensure our extensive social programme is tailored to stimulate residents, both mentally and physically.

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things. |
