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.

After a spontaneous visit to this care home, we were given faith that our mum would be given the best care and support. With a smooth transition from hospital to here, Mum felt trust and cared for and in her words, "Everyone is marvellous and can't do enough for us". 'Us' being a good word, as my...
Blackwood Residential Care Home doesn't feel like a care facility, it has a fun feel with a variety of activities, the staff are genuinely happy and can't do enough for you. Staff and management made the paperwork easy to organise. Would recommend plus Dad is happy to go here when he is ready.

My first visit and made to feel very welcome. The staff had organised a 100th birthday and went all out to include all residents and visitors. A very homely atmosphere.

Today I had the pleasure to attend the 100th birthday party for my family member. What struck me most was how everyone who lives at Blackwood was involved in the celebration, with their tastes being catered for. Our family member had the best time and the love and support was genuine.

I have found the staff very friendly and can't seem to do enough for you and the resident. It is a very homely atmosphere which also helps. Very pleased so far.
Activities are always planned and a lot of effort goes into entertaining the residents by the activities leader.

I take a church themed service there twice a month at the request of the residents. As a visitor I am treated with the utmost respect. The residents are always clean and well attended to. They are happy to join in with the singing and share memories of the days they went to Sunday school or church. Afterwards tea and cake is served with each residents preference being known and catered for. Everyone enjoys the afternoon. It is a well cared environment and I would be happy to recommend.
Aunty has settled in well at Blackwood House. She has told us the staff are very good and kind. When I visited, the staff are kind and attentive. They are all very keen to do the best they can for her. She is always clean and well-dressed when I see her.

My Mum has been here for 3+ years and is very comfortable. She has recently celebrated a significant birthday so I wanted to provide a review and give feedback. The thing that makes Blackwood Residential Care Home outstanding for me is its people. It has been said before, the staff are brilliant. They really do care, and go above and beyond to get to know their residents, interact with them, and care for them. They organise fantastic programmes of activities that are really varied! In recent months my Mum has enjoyed a visit offsite for Camborne's Trevithick day, attended an indoor summer garden party, went to a Royal Ascot inspired event outdoors in the garden, and most recently her birthday was celebrated outdoors in their lovely new summerhouse. My family and I were so grateful for additional thought and care in creating a party for her, the staff were absolutely amazing, and really did exceed our expectations! My Mum loved it and we are happy she is being cared for in this excellent care home.

There was a live singer, and we joined in singing 60s songs etc. The residents and visitors were full of smiles. The area was decorated brightly with bunting - everything was clean.
