  • Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home, Callington
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The best carers, management, nurses I could ever wish for, for my dear mother. You did more than beyond for mum's care. Thank you for your love, professionalism, empathy, care and support. My family couldn't have got through this time as well as we did without you.

Review from M D (Nephew of Resident) published on 11 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, very satisfied with the care provided for my aunt. There were some issues with hearing aids, dentures and spectacles, but generally the care was good. In particular, the staff were always caring and compassionate, and I never witnessed anything that concerned me on many visits. I would recommend
Chyvarhas.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.772 for Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.772
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michael Dickinson-Smith

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2019

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.
