My wife has been in two different homes prior to St Breock. I have to say this home is superior in layout and I am more than happy with the care and support my wife has received since being here. The staff are kind, friendly and courteous even though they are always so busy.
The staff are always welcoming and immediately tell me how my mother has been. They always have her best interests at the fore i.e my mother has been turning everything in a circular motion i.e plates, glasses, cups etc. They have given her a non-slip mat and she is now able to feed herself although they assist when necessary and no negligible weight loss has occurred in someone who is in end stage dementia, well done.
The care and dignity shown to my mother from the manager and his brilliant staff make me feel at ease. Every detail of my mother's needs are looked at and a plan put in place to deal with her needs, as well as can be expected. All staff are very approachable and can't do enough to look after my mother.
Dad settled easily into life at St Breock. The staff are very attentive, very thorough records are kept of everything that goes on from day to day. We have always been swiftly informed of any particular issues or problems as it's occurred. He eats well, and seems to be calmer and less agitated than he was before he moved into St Breock.
My mother was at St Breock from January to March, when she passed away. The care at the home was amazing from management and all the staff. The warmth we felt when visiting, and the way my mum's last few weeks will be remembered always. She was happy interested in everything that was going on, we only wished we could have had more time with her there. Her family can't thank you enough for giving us quality time with our mother.
fifteen months of her 98 years of life at St Breock. Mum had lived in the countryside all her life - full of us her seven Children and Dad of course but for me it was brilliant to witness Mum making new friends and with one lady in particular. The Staff made my Mums daily life special. She chose to sit in Reception where she could see all the comings and goings - some days there was quite a party atmosphere. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the management - who would have thought Mum would actually go to the Royal Cornwall Show - well she did - was taken in the bus and loved it. My mum was not alone, had good stimulating company, wholesome food, warmth and genuine loving care - I shall be eternally grateful - thank you.
