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.

My father has only been a resident at Blackwood House for a week however he has had the best week he’s ever had. We moved my father from a different care home where they did not meet his needs. Blackwood is outstanding. They care 100% for their clients and provide a fun, stimulating environment...
The activities coordinator has worked above and beyond creating the coronation party weekend and dad loved every minute.

My mum came to the home in March 2017 on recommendation of a then, carer. Over the years very few problems, but like anywhere things do go off track. Now the last three years she is treated with the utmost respect and I am always informed of any incident she might have, illness, odd bruise she incurs, as bruises so easily, always did! Staff, everyone in fact employed there is so friendly and helpful.
I feel since my mum has been at Blackwood House, since March 2022, she has improved. The staff and management make the place feel like a big family, which is so important.

I cannot recommend Blackwood House high enough. The staff are fantastic and looked after my mum up until she passed away. They couldn't be more helpful and supportive and my mum passed with dignity, we were also supported amazingly and they still keep in touch.

Thank you for your review and kind words. I will ensure Blackwood House gets a copy of your review. Kindest Regards.
My father has resided here for three months, and the care he has been given is exemplary. He has also been transformed into a very sociable person, quite the opposite of the last twenty years, due to the activities offered and the encouragement given by the staff. He is truly very happy.

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. It is very heartening to hear that the resident-focused approach of Blackwood staff has given your father such enrichment within his new home. Long may those smiles and happiness last.
Mum loves being a resident and enjoys the activities and friends. Best care home in our area. Lots of telephone calls keeping me up to date on mums health as lockdown doesn't permit visits.

Mum has been treated like family. All the carers and staff are wonderful. We can relax in the knowledge she is eating well, taking her medication on time and is warm and well looked after. My only small issue is because of her needs and equipment her room si a bit small and her wardrobe is filled with medical stuff instead of her own possessions.
Staff at Blackwood House are always very pleasant. Food is always varied. Staff have been under difficult times during the past months but have arranged visits once able to admit family in a safe place.

My father was very happy during the two years he spent at Blackwood House. We were able to visit him at any time - he was always clean and well dressed. The rooms were exceptionally fresh and tidy and the staff helpful and cheery. He was well fed and all his medical needs were met promptly and efficiently. The staff always kept us fully informed by email or telephone when necessary and we consider ourselves lucky that Dad found a place in this excellent care home.
Mum was made to feel very welcome. Staff are very friendly and easy to talk to. Very confident in the staff and management at Blackwood House.

We can only thank them all from the bottom of our hearts for what they have done for our dear Mum. We were always allowed to visit her at any time, day or night and treated with the same respect as they had for our Mum. We as a family, could not have chosen a better place. Thank you, once again. 10-star rating if possible.

My papa stayed at Blackwood House and we could not ask for a better care service! The home was always exceptionally clean, meals well cooked and provided and the care staff always went above and beyond. The gardener at Blackwood should be proud, what an amazing space for all to enjoy! The home manager was professional, hands-on and always led from the front when delivering exceptional care. When my papa sadly passed away, like him, we were supported with love and dignity. They even attended his funeral, they are our family, they loved and cared for him too, we can't thank the home enough.
