  • Cowbridge Residential Care Home, Lostwithiel
Cowbridge Residential Care Home is located in the scenic town of Lostwithiel.

The grounds of Cowbridge itself overlooks the hills of Lostwithiel, going further than the eye can see.

Cowbridge was originally owned by a local family before it was brought by Cornwallis Care Services to create a place of comfort and safety. In the time that this has been in the Cornwallis Family, they have extended the building to accommodate 15 more rooms to allow for further care and support.

There are 24 beds within the home with two lounges to accommodate a quieter setting or more of a lively setting, dependent on preference. There is a dining room for all meal times and tables within the lounge, should you want to stay where you are for meals. All three of these rooms look over the valley creating a picturesque setting.

The team at Cowbridge strive to create a safe and happy environment for all, ensuring a person centred approach for all needs. The team all have a caring nature and know how to tailor their skills for all around them.

Review from Deborah K (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Well overall, pleased with dads care. All the carers very good and caring. My only concern has been all along is there never appears to be enough staff to allocate 10 minutes - 30 minutes per day to take dad for a long or short walk depending on how he feels. This greatly affects his mental health.
He is very independent still, but does love his walk each day. He requires very little care other than this. He has a 10 minute walk at the moment, just to get some fresh air and that's all. It is in his care plan, but wonder how much of this plan is followed. Also I have no way of checking what dads doing with the new computer system.

My partner was in Cowbridge Residential Care Home for 11 months and all the time he was there, all the staff in every department were so good with him. They were so caring, always cheerful and when I visited him they always made me feel very welcome with tea or coffee as soon as I walked through the
door. I can feel happy that my partners last few months before he passed away, he was full of love from family, friends, and all staff at Cowbridge. Thank you all.

We had a lovely Christmas dinner with mum here today. The staff made a lovely early Christmas day. It feels like home from home. Mum's been here for a few weeks now and she looks so much happier. She settled in really well. All the staff make you feel really welcome. It's a massive relief when you know
that your mum's getting looked after really well. The staff are amazing, so friendly and professional.

My grandmother came into this care home towards the beginning of this year and she has settled in so well.
The home is always tidy and clean. The staff are so friendly and always in high spirits and spreading their happiness and smiles.
They have the most amazing team of staff, and host fabulous
events and things for other family members to attending, encouraging still being able to make wonderful memories!
They have a week planned of things to keep them occupied as well as pamper and nail/hair activities. She was even able to make me a Christmas tree decoration this year, which she loved doing!
This home is so welcoming and very good with communication about nan's well being and health.

Whilst my father has been in residence at Cowbridge, he has received the best care possible. Because we are not local to the area, we have always had updates and have also made use of the WiFi meaning that we can video call Dad. The staff have always made us welcome when we have visited providing drinks
and biscuits. The whole team are very passionate towards residents and families.

I would like to express how impressed I am with the professional compassionate care Cowbridge staff show towards my friend who can be quite a challenge at times. The manager in particular knows just how to help my friend when he's having a difficult time. I have full confidence my friend is receiving
the highest kind of care and his needs are being met.

Wonderful atmosphere, caring staff extremely understanding, patient and friendly. Great food. It was more like staying with family. Lots of hugs and best wishes when Mum left even by kitchen staff, although it was respite for her I had the feeling she wanted to stay longer, she made some good friends
amongst residents and staff lots of laughs and she came home much brighter than when she went in. Thank you to everyone at Cowbridge for taking such good care, time and love during Mum's stay. Mum has already said she wants to go back for her next respite.

Review from H W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
From the outside, the home looks lovely. However, the room my relative was allocated was dark, gloomy and only had an internal window facing into a squalid uncared-for courtyard. There was no room for personal belongings, and the furniture supplied was standard hospital issue. There was no en-suite
just a commode chair situated in line with the door which was kept propped open. Everyone walking past stared in at her like she was an exhibit in a zoo. She was taken to the bathroom by 2 male carers. There was no privacy, no luxury and my relative called it a prison.... all for £1000 per week. The staff were polite but clueless and, when the Council decided to move her, refused to pass on any information about her to her new care providers. She has since moved to another (cheaper) home with en-suite facilities, knowledgeable cheerful staff, and is much happier.

Mom was admitted to this home from hospital. After two weeks she has settled very well and we, as a family, are delighted. Upon admittance, the manager was exceptionally helpful and reassuring. We found that all staff we came in contact with were both charming and helpful. Mom is very happy here and
interacts very well considering her disability. This is down to the staff and the leadership of a very good manager. We are so grateful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for Cowbridge Residential Care 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.752 for Cowbridge Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.752
  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 Cowbridge Residential Care Home is based on 12 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
