  • 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I arrived at Cowbridge today to visit my Mother and was once again so impressed with the care and love the staff have for my Mum. She has been a resident for five years and quite a few of the staff were there when she first arrived. They take time with us as a family and understand all Mums needs. The
staff are such a happy unit led by an exceptional manager who understands the needs of people with Dementia. Cowbridge you have created a lovely environment with some really special touches.

Review from J M (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Our experience started off well. When it was declassified to a residential home it went downhill fast. New staff, some you had a job to get them to understand us, goodness knows how the residents coped. You had to go looking for staff in a lot of cases, not all. In my mother's last few days she was
not turned, mouth care given regularly, let alone freshened up. The morning after my mother's passing I was collecting her things in a room that had already been stripped and worked on while I was there. Sensitive to my feeling, I don't think so! I could go on but feel you can understand my/our views.
Reply from Bridget Varney, Operations Director at Cowbridge Residential Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. I understand from the manager that sadly he did not have the opportunity to meet you. We take all concerns very seriously and I would like to assure you that we have looked in detail at the concerns that you have raised and have formerly provided an outcome letter in line with our complaints procedure. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to you at this difficult time.

Review from Roger B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 9 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a search for a suitable local care home, I arranged for my ill relative to move to the Cowbridge Care Home.


My confidence in this care home was immediately raised on the arrival of the manager at her home to assess her suitability. He impressed me very much in every way possible, particularly

in how he spoke to and showed concern for her. That confidence continued by his management of the home and staff, who also showed the same level of professional competence and care.


In fact, my darling Mother-in-law, as I believed and maintained, deserved the best level of care possible and that she got right up to and even after her sad death last week. I sincerely believe she had what I wanted, considerate professional care of the highest level possible so I applaud every member of the team there for there doing so.
Thank you to the manager, and please pass on my thanks to every member of staff who so well looked after her in her short but contented stay with you. I could not ask for more.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife and I are very old friends of a resident in Cowbridge Nursing Home - in fact, we were involved in getting her in there over three years ago. We have been impressed with the way in which our friend has been cared for and we would happily recommend Cowbridge to anyone needing a caring environment
with excellent competent staff.

I am delighted with the care given to my mother during the 18 months she has lived at Cobridge. The staff, without exception, have provided a loving and safe environment for mum. I would like to thank particular members of staff. A big thank you to all.

Cowbridge Nursing Home has made significant changes since February of this year. In particular, since the recruitment of a new manager in May 2017 the nursing home has gone from strength to strength with many areas significantly improving for the better. Cowbridge has loyal and very caring staff who
all work as a close knit family team.

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.
