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 mum has been a resident in Blackwood House for over two and a half years and I am very happy at the way she is cared for and the treatment to her. As like every place of work some staff are better than others but I feel Blackwood House have some of the best and dedicated staff that you could...
They are so caring not only to the residents but to the relatives as well. The rooms, gardens and activities are wonderful. Thank you BlackWood for caring.
Although staff are kind and friendly, my mother is not receiving the level of care we would like. She is frequently wet when we visit and is falling regularly. Although I am sure residents are taken outside and entertained, I have never seen evidence of this for my mother who is always just sat in...

Although I am sure residents are taken outside and entertained, I have never seen evidence of this for my mother who is always just sat in a chair looking at the wall.

Good bits:Cleanliness is much better since the refurbishment but there are still occasional issues.
The gardens are lovely in the nice weather and it's been great to get outside in the fresh air.
There are a few staff that are exceptionally great and a credit to the organisation.
Every time we visited the resident she always looked happy, mentioned how wonderful the staff had been to her. Changed sheets daily. She is amazed at how clean they are for her and others. Staff always smile and very helpful.

Recently I have become a lot more pleased with the attention and treatment that my nan has received. I think this is all down to the hard work of the new management. I feel a lot more confident and comfortable when leaving my nan there, which is a lot different to how I used to feel when leaving...

All the staff are very friendly, caring and patient. This reassuring as I only get down to Cornwall once a month. Also, they keep us informed of any developments or changes, which makes you feel involved even though you cant be there.

Blackwood House is 400 miles from my home so I only get to visit my mother about six times a year. I never notify the home when I am coming as I like to see things they are. My mother is always clean and well dressed, particular attention is taken to ensure that her clothes are co-ordinated and include extra touches like matching scarves or hair accessories staff are always kind, caring and patient. Mum is as settled and contented as she can be given her condition.
Putting mum into a home was the hardest decision we as a family have had to make. I visited a few homes and even had Mum stay in one. It didn't work out - Mum was very unhappy, which in turn upset us all. Finding Blackwood House has been a weight lifted off our shoulders. All the staff are very...
Putting mum into a home was the hardest decision we as a family have had to make. I visited a few homes and even had Mum stay in one. It didn't work out - Mum was very unhappy, which in turn upset us all. Finding Blackwood House has been a weight lifted off our shoulders. All the staff are very helpful and are aware of Mum's needs and really try to understand her as well as Mum understanding then, without being upset. Thank you.
During the short amount of time I spent in Blackwood House I find all the staff very helpful and caring towards my father. I have no concerns over his welfare and safety there and find most of the staff easy to communicate with.
