With just 36 bedrooms and a team which is passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, Chyvarhas has a warm, family feel the moment you walk through the door.
Providing residential, nursing, dementia care and palliative care, the team also offers respite care breaks, which are ideal for family carers who would like to take a short break themselves, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
In keeping with the name of the home, meaning ‘meeting point’ in Cornish, the team is passionate about embracing the local community into life at Chyvarhas, from regular singers, musicians and performers, to local school children, who enjoy activities with the residents.
Every month, carers from the local community are invited to the home’s dementia support group, which takes places on the third Friday of every month, from 10am to noon.
There are also regular exercise sessions with Love to Move, and animal therapy visits, with everything from rabbits to owls!
The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy, from impromptu singalongs to baking and pamper sessions. A mobile hairdresser also visits for regular appointments with the residents.
Chyvarhas is unique in its layout, with four wings – with three cosy lounges, two of which lead to their own private secure garden. In the summer the residents love spending time gardening, or relaxing with loved ones, who are welcome at any time.
There is a spacious central dining room, where residents socialise with delicious, home cooked meals, from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays, and home baking for afternoon tea.
Chyvarhas also has its own private Facebook group, so families can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there each day in person.
Situated on the main bus route, the home has excellent transport links and a large, secure car park.

You will never meet a kinder, more caring bunch of people. Michael, Jackie and the team have been very helpful and supportive, yet remain focussed and professional at all times. I cannot thank them enough. My 91-year-old mother is very difficult!

The team at this care home looked after my grandmother with exceptional kindness and professionalism right up until the end of her life. Every member of staff showed genuine compassion, took time to get to know her, and treated her with dignity. Communication was always clear, and we were kept fully informed and supported as a family.

I was unhappy about my wife, Lesley, being admitted to a nursing home. Lesley, as an SRN, has worked in several, and I have been less than impressed with almost all aspects of most and so, it was with some serious doubt that I agreed to her moving to Chyvarhas. The first couple of weeks dispelled...
I was unhappy about my wife, Lesley, being admitted to a nursing home. Lesley, as an SRN, has worked in several, and I have been less than impressed with almost all aspects of most and so, it was with some serious doubt that I agreed to her moving to Chyvarhas. The first couple of weeks dispelled my fears, she could not be in better hands! Also, on quite a number of occasions, I have been in a distressed state on leaving, and the staff have noticed and showered me with kindness and care. My thanks to them all, they are wonderful.
My experience was 2nd to none. My dad was only in Chyvarhas for a week until he passed away, but was made to feel cared for and very comfortable. The excellent nursing staff took great care of my sister and I while dad deteriorated and ultimately passed away. Would highly recommend.

Excellent value for money & highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your review for our home and team at Chyvarhas. It's wonderful to heart how pleased you were with her respite stay. We do hope you'll consider joining us again.
The staff at Chyvarhas could not do more for our son and other residents. From management, carers, kitchen staff and auxiliary they all deserve 5 stars.

My nan stayed with Chyvarhas for respite while we were renovating her bedroom. The room was presented beautifully and we had lots of options to personalise it while she was there. She said the best part of the room was the view from the window. She has been unable to go out to her garden for the...
When we took her home, we asked her what she thought. She said that "it was like a home away from home."
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear your nan felt so at home during her stay with us. It's heartwarming to know she enjoyed the view, the meals, and the company of our team. We're especially touched by her kind words.
My experience of the home was good. I loved the attention to detail in the care and the food choices provided. I valued the big room and the view of the garden that was very important to me. The staff were generally very positive, up beat and friendly. I would stay again happily.

The staff are lovely, and my grandma seems to be having a good time here. I come and visit all the weekends I can, and I've noticed how helpful the staff are. They are lovely to visitors and residents and are always here to help.

I have worked for Cornwall Care for just over two years now. I came to Cornwall Care from a smaller organisation as I wanted to work for an organisation that was innovative and where I could work with talented people, and I have not been disappointed. Our team has worked tirelessly to improve the standards of care that Chyvarhas provides and I feel we now lead the way in the local area, encouraging good, person-centred care to the people we support. I am looking forward to continue our work at Chyvarhas.
