With what is undoubtedly one of the most unique, internal care home gardens in Cornwall, Blackwood has a hidden gem for its residents and their loved ones to enjoy!
The home has been designed in a square shape, with a stunning large, enclosed garden, filled with flowers, plants and a fruit tree. With raised beds for residents in wheelchairs, it is a hub of activity. With the support of the team, the residents grow their own fruit, vegetables and herbs, harvesting them for the chef to use in the kitchen. There is also a summer house and plenty of sheltered seating.
The home has two floors, each with its own cosy lounge, overlooking the garden, a dining area and kitchenette. The residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals prepared by the home’s chef, as well as home baking for afternoon tea. The team also offers respite care breaks, which are ideal for family carers who would like to take a short break themselves.
The team is passionate about enriching the lives of residents with activities which bring them joy, as well as keeping those vital community connections alive. From live music and gardening, to trips to the local memory café and other popular community events. The home also has a wonderful partnership with a local friendship group, who love to play carpet bowls with the residents.
Blackwood has its own darts team and a mobile bar called The Blackwood Arms. There are weekly visits from a hairdresser, keep fit classes and singing sessions.
The team throws open the doors for Easter and Summer fetes in the garden, and residents enjoy trips out in the local community, from local fayres to shopping.
The team, many of whom have been with Blackwood for many years, provides residential and dementia care. They embrace the loved ones into day-to-day life in the home, giving Blackwood a warm, family feel, something which is echoed in the home’s fantastic reviews.

Mum had respite care at Blackwood House in August. It was lovely to see her enjoy the social events she thoroughly enjoyed the "boy" singing, Jacob. It was reasuring to the family that she had 24 hr care to support her if she should slip/fall which we know is highly possible. Despite her initial reservations she is now booked in again for respite during the half term holidays. Thank you Blackwood

Continually amazed at the care, dedication & love, yes love, shown towards the residents, despite occasional trying times. Hard working + humourous, the staff are committed to their career choice. Not a glamorous job but rewarding when residents react with positive intent. Resourceful + age/ability appropriate activities in place for those who wish to participate. Believe you me, if there was a problem, I would be the first to shout about it.

I really enjoyed my stay at Blackwood Residential Care Home, The staff looked after me very well and the care and support I got was very good. I was impressed that the staff sat with us in the lounge. The reason I put good for activities and value for money was because there was illness in the home and we could not interact with the activities because they were stopped.

My Mum recently moved to Blackwood, it hasn't been an easy transition as my Mum has Dementia and was very distressed because she was so confused. The wonderful staff team have been exceptional in calming Mum down and settling her into her new home, and they have been brilliant at helping my brother and I manage the transition as well. Mum has settled in now and is happy, content and thriving in her new surroundings, she has made friends and always praises the lovely team there. Mum has a lovely room with a great view of the beautiful secure garden, there's lots to keep her busy and with support from the excellent events manager Bernie, she has even joined the knitting club! It's so good to see Mum so happy - it's a really lovely home.

For my mum to have started the next stage of her life at Blackwood is a huge relief. For the first time in 2 years my mum is in a safe space and a kind, caring home. I cannot thank the staff enough for giving my mum the dignity and time she deserves. It is a joy to see her laugh again.

My gran has been in and out of hospital for a couple years and had been very unhappy and depressed, but since moving her here she's been laughing and having a great time. Staff are amazing and great at communicating.

A volunteer and the activities lady from the home arranged for our Mum to visit one of her favourite places. It was an extra special day, and Mum got to see some of her family and friends who she hadn't seen in years. One of the best moments was when someone put a song on the jukebox, and Mum sang along. The effort put into that day, with one of the ladies coming in on her day off and the other lady making sure Mum's hair and nails were perfect and ensuring the timing and details were spot on, was appreciated by everyone. A huge thank you to those ladies for always going the extra mile. It is much appreciated.
