Review from Barry F (Nephew of Resident) published on 21 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt moved into Cornerways in March 2017. She has been well looked after and treated with much kindness and respect.
I visit the home frequently and am always impressed by the cleanliness and high standard of care given to the residents.
The meals are well presented with a choice of dishes and
the food always looks inviting.
It is a great relief to me to know that my aunt is staying in such a well run home with such dedicated staff.
Thank you all for what you do.

Cornerways is clean and very well run. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is good. Should I need respite for my partner in the future, I hope there will be a room available at that time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very pleased how my dad has settled in, it is very friendly home and the staff are all willing to help at all times. It is also very nice to see the staff on hand if you need help There is always activities going on in the afternoon which they Can do or just watch. My dad is a very friendly and
sociable person and they seem to be able to get that out of him. It is just nice to know that the person who you love very much is well looked after. Cornerways is always very clean and tidy. Thank you to all the staff at Cornerways for being so caring it is so easy to come and visit my dad I always feel welcome.

Review from Alison T (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of a number of care homes in the Torbay area. This has been by far the best one out of them all. The staff are always cheerful and work very hard to make sure the needs of the residents are their number one priority. There are all sorts of activities going on throughout
the day: quizzes, play your cards right, softball, bowling, etc. The meals are excellent and freshly cooked by the onsite chef and dietary needs are catered for on an individual basis. The dining room and living room areas are all nicely decorated with comfortable seating. There is a small garden area (quite quirky), for the residents to look out on or get access to via a staff member. The care home is very safe as all entrances and exits have to be facilitated by a member of staff. I would highly recommend Cornerways to any relative that wants the very best of care for their family member.

My family have always found Cornerways to be a caring, comfortable home for our mother who suffers from dementia and is partly bed-bound. The staff are always caring and attentive and manage to find time to talk to us when visiting, and to keep us informed as to any health matters and care issues.

Review from D M (Wife of Resident) published on 6 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff cared for and cared about my husband in a genuine manner, through the year I have visited him 3 days a week staying 4-6 hours every time and joining him in the dining room for the days main meal. The whole building always smells fresh and any spills are always dealt with immediately. The carers
always answer residents questions as if hearing them for the first time when in fact it's probably the 4th or 5th time in the last half and hour from the same resident. Marvellous! They also give caring answers to awkward and sometimes upsetting questions. Brilliant!

Looking for care home for my husband. My first impression was the warmth and friendliness of all the staff and now after just a short time I know I have chosen the right care home for our needs. My husband has settled well thanks to all at Cornerways also they have been so kind to me at this very stressful
time. I would recommend this place to my family and friends.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Cornerways 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.820 for Cornerways is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.82
  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 Cornerways is based on 20 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 20 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.

Job Title: Interim Home Manager

I joined Cornerways as a Night Senior, bringing over 10 years of NHS experience from various hospital wards. When COVID turned the world upside down, I moved to day shifts and gradually worked my way through several roles to where I am today.


Cornerways genuinely feels like my second home. I feel incredibly lucky to lead such a brilliant team and care for our lovely residents—each one with their own stories, quirks, and ability to make me laugh every single day.


When not at work, I am married with three brilliant children and grandchildren whom I adore.
