  • Penberthy Residential Care Home, Newquay
Set back from the beach, a short distance from the town centre in a quiet residential area of Newquay, Penberthy is a small home with a very warm, family feel.

There is a beautiful, enclosed garden, where the team supports residents to grow their own produce. This summer they’ve enjoyed harvesting this for the chef to use in the kitchen - from sweetcorn and runner beans to tomatoes. There is also a summer house and a Hawaiian-themed barbecue area, which is fantastic for summer garden parties and celebrations.

Part of the home is a converted manor house, with period features such as high ceilings and beautiful stain glass windows.

There are spacious bedrooms and a welcoming lounge area, with patio doors leading to the gardens, where residents can relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time, and often take part in activities. With everything from live musical entertainment, including performances from the local Forget-Me-Not choir, to pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages, there are so many activities to enjoy.

In the dining room residents enjoy delicious home-cooked meals together, including roast dinners with all the trimmings, fish and chip Fridays and home-baking for afternoon tea.

The team is also passionate about embracing the local community into the home, with regular visits from young school children, who love taking part in intergenerational activities with the residents, to Scout groups who enjoy gardening activities.

The care home also has a hairdressing salon, for regular appointments with a mobile hairdresser.

A stone’s throw from the town centre, there are also lots of places to enjoy visiting outside the home, from pubs and cafés to the beach.

My wife in care for the last 3 months, and has settled very well. This has been assisted by the professional she had received. The management and staff have given us both every support during this time. There kindness and cheerful care have been a tonic for us both. I could not be happier that my wife
is in the care of such a welcoming and happy group of people. My experience has been a very positive one, so well done to the management and staff for your continued support. "Happy husband"

My Nan has been in Penberthy for a year now after struggling to manage at home with carers coming in. The carers, administration team, and management at Penberthy have been excellent with my Nan, and have always kept me informed of any issues and have always followed up any concerns I have raised regarding
Nan's health. I visit most days and the atmosphere it always welcoming. The activities co-ordinator regularly organises trips out for the residents to keep them occupied, as well as having day to day activities for them to get involved in. Whilst it's not like being at home, my Nan has thrived since being in the care home as it gives her the mental stimulus and social environment that she lacked when at home. The meals are always well balanced, and there is variety for the residents. Whilst care is obviously expensive, it has given me peace of mind knowing that my Nan is well looked after and cared for in the home. She is always treated with dignity and respect by members of staff.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Penberthy Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your Nan's experience at Penberthy.

My mum has been a resident for a number of years now. She says she likes the staff there. When mum is having a bad day the staff seem very understanding. A GP is called when needed, chiropodist etc. There's a very pleasant atmosphere at the home. Mum enjoys the singing entertainment and having her hair
done. Overall management and staff do a very good job in field of work that isn't easy.

The staff seemed very pleasant, made us a drink and biscuits when we arrived. The lady we visited looked well looked after and seemed to have a good relationship with the staff. The room was very nice, although would have been nice if she had an ensuite shower. Unable to comment on activities, facilities,

Do not under any circumstances have any member of your family admitted to this home. We love, adore our mum and wanted the best for her. We were assured she would be looked after. Sadly the opposite. After getting safeguarding involved thankfully she is now having showers but her weight still dropping
drastically and still not hoisted properly into bed or chair dependent on staff working. So many times we've arrived and wet through and hanging off the edge of the chair. Given overdose of tablets, sat with no teeth in. Nobody even noticed (mum is so particular about this! Arrived one morning, Mum covered in snot distressed. The team leader oblivious, sat eating her breakfast, even when pointing this is out said I've just wiped her nose, no tissues anywhere and then got a blue roll out of kitchen! So many incidents, heartbreaking. Last incident left in a wheelchair on her own in her room and fell. Heartbroken, all we want is for our mum to be safe and looked after.

Penberthy House has provided such relief to my father's family. We are assured he is being looked after by such a wonderful team. They are always accommodating on my visits, making it feel like a home away from home. Over the time he has been there, the staff have always been so welcoming and talkative
and it's been a pleasure getting to know each one. It really assures me that he's being looked after by caring, emphatic and passionate individuals that have a good sense of humour. It has given me peace of mind.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.596)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.596) out of 10 for Penberthy Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.596 for Penberthy Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 171 Ratings = 4.596

  • b) 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 Penberthy Residential Care Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
