Care Homes Owned by Barchester Healthcare Ltd in Cornwall

My husband has been at Kernow House Care Home for nearly two years, starting at the St Pirans Unit, then as his severe dementia issues settled down, Petherwin Wing. Absolutely every single person there has been nothing but kind, courteous, caring & professional. I could not have asked for anything better, and I am eternally grateful and thankful to everyone there.

My husband has been here two months and he has settled in really well. He has enjoyed creating a flower bed in the garden with the help of me, a friend and carers and has been out a few times on the care home bus. He had a trip out to buy some sandals and he has played his banjo and guitar to the other residents.

Mum has been treated with dignity and patience during a recent decline in her health. As relatives, we have been kept informed at every stage. Annette has been a great support to me personally and has been empathetic throughout. Gary has also supported me and been a hugely calming influence. Thank you to all.

I'm very happy with the care my daughter is provided with from the carers and the nurses. I'm confident that she receives all the care that is needed to keep her comfortable and pain free . My daughter as been a resident for a couple of years now and they support her changing needs but have also supported me along this journey. I am grateful to them all

After my 93 year old Mum was released too early from hospital back to her home she quickly went further downhill and it looked like we might lose her. My sister found Kenwyn and from that initial contact we knew we were in safe hands. My Mum came to stay for a month of respite and the care and kindness that was shown was so nice and I am so grateful. The rooms, the food the staff and environment were all excellent and my Mum was soon feeling well enough to try living at her home again and I will be forever grateful, thank you so much.

The facility is nice & bright. She has struggled with the food on occasion but normally finds something that will do. Thank-you

My 96-year-old father spent four weeks at Falmouth Court for respite care during July and August 2026, and we were delighted with the way he was looked after. He told us that nothing was ever too much trouble when it came to the help and support he received day to day, and he was particularly delighted with the lovely food served every day.

We can heartily recommend Falmouth Court as a place where you can feel confident entrusting the care of a loved one, and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family

My mom has been a resident at Kenwyn since the 30th of May 2026. Unfortunately due to her type of dementia and paranoia my mom hasn't settled, she still wants to come home. However, the management, receptionists, nurses, events team have been doing everything they can to help my mom settle. The other thing is she's now eating and taking her medication which she refused to do when living at home. I can't praise everyone highly enough and I know my mom is safe and can't wonder off which she did four times.

Thank you to everyone for your support and putting up with me when I have to contact you. X

Although my mother with poor mobility and dementia likes being at home, she has always enjoyed her stays and been enabled to join in, and get the best out of life, while staying at Falmouth care.

It was a positive experience from the start. I was able to book the respite for my father and was shown around and my father later. Everyone was very helpful and I was very relaxed about all the arrangements. My father stayed for two weeks and felt he was at a hotel, where he could have his feet checked and a good haircut. He felt very welcome & a positive experience. The staff he said were exemplary.

Kenwyn has a relaxed atmosphere and you are greeted by name and a smile as soon as entering reception. We know we can talk to staff with any concerns at any time. As a family to know Dad is cared for with love, humour, care and above all dignity is so appreciated. Thank you Kenwyn :)

My fathers transition to nursing care from NHS care was handled well by Barchester, he has felt welcome from the outset. He particularly values the flexibility for his own possessions, aids and momentos that were installed for him. He rates the staff as friendly and attentive but feels at times of high demand care needs can be delayed by availability of staff. He also finds the food to be a little 'exotic' being a simple meat and 2 veg man. Overall Barchester provides an exceptional environment for its residents.

One very happy and grateful son.

We are truly grateful and hoping this will be the first of other trip.

Since mum has been there she has been really well looked after. Her room, dining and social areas are all new (feels like staying in a hotel). The care team are fun, caring and understand my mum's needs. There are a whole range of social activities to take advantage of and my mother says the food is excellent! I would highly recommend

Very happy with care could not be eny better the atention and care for my wife is excelent all staff excelent

Mum told us how she enjoyed the V.E. Day celebrations in the sunshine with party hats and cake. She hopes you will do the same for VJ day. The fact that she took part in the celebrations and told us about it is fantastic. We are so pleased at the excellent care you are giving her so she can at last enjoy herself and we are happy she is somewhere safe where she is so well looked after.

Very happy with care could not be better all staff excelent

We couldn't have hoped for better care.

When I visited my husband, I found a cordial reception, the clients looked clean & tidy and friendly. Overall I felt quite happy that Roger was well looked after
