  • Penrice House St Austell Ltd, St Austell
Penrice House was established as a Residential Care Home in 1978, as a registered charity. The House is a Grade 2 listed building.

Situated in its own beautiful grounds, approximately one and a half miles from St. Austell’s town centre, the Home is approached by a private drive, some three-quarters of a mile long, through a combination of flowering shrubs and woodland. Seating is placed along the driveway and around the grounds.

The Registered Care Manager & Penrice House pride themselves on offering a highly professional care service for the elderly, with a personal touch. Prioritising dignity and respect, they follow the ethos that residential care needn't be seen as a last resort but rather as a new start, where people are able to enjoy the later years of life with the peace of mind that everything is taken care of.

They are pleased to accept service users for long term stays and offer respite were there are vacancies.

Every member of staff at Penrice House shows exceptional levels of care and compassion towards residents and their family. That, combined with the beautiful surroundings and excellent food, makes Penrice House a truly outstanding residential home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved into Penrice just 3 weeks ago. I have nothing but praise for all of the staff as they are so caring, friendly, professional, and have really helped my mum to settle in after a difficult decision to having to leave her home for residential care. The lead up to the move was handled efficiently
and nothing was too much bother in helping to ensure the move was as smooth and efficient as possible. Particular shout out to one staff member in particular who kept us up to date with the move and what we need to do. This staff member and two other specific staff members have been instrumental in helping with care plans, medical and dietary needs. The activities are great and mum has tried to take part as much as possible. I could go on, but both my sister and I are just thankful we found Penrice and all that it offers. Thank you!

I started using this service 4 months ago for daycare and respite. I did not know what to expect, Penrice House is beyond words and it is more than I ever expected.
The staff are marvellous and kind. The food is similar to what I would make at home, delicious and plentiful all freshly prepared in the
kitchen. The activities area has great variety and always something to do. Management are seen and well-known throughout the home. It's like driving into a film set of a rich house. I cannot wait to live here. I highly recommend coming to Penrice House.

My mum arrived at Penrice House on 1st August after six months in hospital following a fall. The love and care shown to her has far exceeded our expectations, nothing is too much trouble and the dedication shown to her is wonderful. Her mobility is non-existent on her own but with the assistance of
the staff at Penrice, Mum is afforded her dignity at all times. Her accommodation is extremely comfortable and food is excellent. The home itself is spotlessly clean and fresh at all times and we have been made to feel 100% part of the Penrice House family.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that our team's dedication has exceeded your expectations. Ensuring dignity, comfort is at the heart of what we do. We're so pleased your mum is happy with her care, accommodation and meals. If there's ever anything we can do to make her experience even better, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you for being part of the Penrice House family.

My mum is a resident and I couldn't wish for a more suitable home for her. I visited at the weekend and was able to walk through the woodland owned by Penrice. The gardens are kept well and there are many gardens to sit in. My mum enjoys the good weather and can sit in the summer house and enjoy the
outside space.

My parents have been at Penrice for nearly one year. In all that time we have found the staff to be so very caring, cheerful and very patient. They have been so accommodating and flexible to my parents needs. The staff are so alert to the changing medical needs of mum and dad. The staff are also so
aware of the needs, and are kind and caring towards family members who visit residents, especially when dealing with stressful and difficult medical situations. Thank you for your caring concern.

Review from Colin P (Son of Resident) published on 10 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my parents stayed at Penrice and were made extremely welcome. It was not easy for either parent as they were used to living on their own but health issues dictated the need for change. My dad in particular found it hard but Penrice went out of their way to accommodate him. All staff took an interest
in my parents and developed a friendly, good relationship with both. As both parent's health deteriorated the home was excellent in how they monitored and cared for my parents.
Both parents subsequently passed away at the home and in the days leading up to death staff members went out of their way to ensure that there was company when the family could not be there.
As a family, we could not have wished for a better place for our parents to have been as their lives came to an end.
Reply from Clare Rowe-Hall, Manager at Penrice House St Austell Ltd

Your parents were a wonderful couple and am so glad you felt the staff always did their best to ensure they were happy and comfortable. We are delighted that we were able to make their time here together, and with us all, positive for you and your family. Thank you so much for taking the time to send this review to us.

Review from Les R (Brother of Resident) published on 8 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been with Penrice House now for more than two and a half years. Initially apprehensive after living alone as a widow for a long time, she soon settled in and is now very happy there. The key to that is the staff as they are always very attentive, very helpful, patient and understanding.
They take a great deal of care for every resident and (as was evidenced by another relative of mine who died there recently) often go over and above normal duties in ensuring each resident is content, comfortable and well-catered for. Visiting my sister is always a pleasant experience as visitors are made to feel welcome and there are no time restraints. Questions about my sister are encouraged and the staff are fully responsive. If there are changes in my sister's health, they are fully reported by contacting me at all times. I am freed from worry for much of my time knowing that my sister is in good hands.
Reply from Clare Rowe-Hall, Manager at Penrice House St Austell Ltd

Thank you so much for such lovely feedback. We always want visitors to feel like it is a home from home and a part of the Penrice House family. To know that your relatives have the best care and support they could wish for is always our goal. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I moved my stepfather to Penrice House St Austell in August 2022. From the very beginning, the staff displayed an approach to caring for residents as an individual. They have demonstrated the ability to understand the foible of each individual. I have extensive experience in the medical world and have
found the care at Penrice to be excellent.

From our first visit to look at possibilities, to mum and dad having a week's respite, the whole experience was excellent. The staff are very happy, and the residents and visitors are very happy too. This was the first time for my parents and my dad in particular was initially reticent. He is now a
convert and is looking forward to his next visit. It is more country house hotel with additional care rather than a residential care home. Well done 'team penrice'.

Review from Kevin N (Husband of Resident) published on 21 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This review covers the last 6 months of care that Penrice House has given to my wife. I have written a review previously a couple of years ago praising the high level of care that this home provides, but they have exceeded that if that is possible. My wife was taken to A&E with suspected stroke, where
she was put on End of Life Care, Penrice arranged to have her returned to the home, so they could look after her.
The care, love, and attention that she received during this time has been exceptional, she is now off EOL Care, during the first couple of weeks I was at her bedside, therefore I have seen first-hand the care given 24hrs/day, 7 days/week to all residents, it is truly incredible.
My family and especially me would like to thank you all for what you have done and continue to do. It's all down to the magic created by everybody and everything associated with Penrice.
Reply from Clare Rowe-Hall, Manager at Penrice House St Austell Ltd

Thank you for such a lovely review. It is a pleasure to support your wife at Penrice House, and that in turn we get to spend time with such a supportive family. We are all very proud of the work we do, and are so very grateful for your kind words.

Mother has just passed away at the tender age of 96. Until recently she lived independently in her own home. Her final weeks were spent in the grand surroundings of Penrice House where she was treated like a queen. The family cannot speak highly enough of the dedicated, thoughtful and friendly staff
there.


We thank them all for the outstanding quality of care provided.

It is a very difficult decision to help a family member decide on a care facility, but I cannot think of any other home I would want my mum to be in. It is a wonderful house in a fantastic setting.

My Dad has been a resident at Penrice House for 18 months. Unfortunately, for most of that time, the Home has been subject to COVID restrictions and although this has not made things easy for either staff, residents or family and friends, I have been impressed with the way these have been implemented.
Every effort has been made to ensure the safety of staff and residents whilst allowing visitors to see their loved ones under carefully controlled arrangements. My Dad has been cared for with dignity and respect at all times and the staff are wonderful with him. There are many and varied activities arranged for residents to enjoy - a current favourite being the cinema sessions in the main lounge. Staff are proactive in keeping me up to date with Dad's condition and are always kind, helpful and discrete when dealing with his personal care. I cannot recommend them enough, thank you to all at Penrice House for your care, humour and discretion.

The quality of care at Penrice House is exemplary. The staff are caring, patient and work hard to provide a comfortable and enjoyable home life. Attention to detail is consistent and thorough; residents are frequently asked for ideas about improving provision and these are acted upon. The building is
warm, well-appointed and welcoming. The response to the pandemic was appropriate, proportionate and proactive, targeted on providing a high degree of safety. Overall the standard is excellent and I would recommend it without hesitation.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Penrice House St Austell Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.929 for Penrice House St Austell Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.929
  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 Penrice House St Austell Ltd is based on 13 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
