Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a Great team the staff at Kenwyn are. My mother who is in the Dementia unit had her birthday today and they put on a lovely display of balloons, banners and made a special cake for mum as she can only really eat pureed food so it was lovely to see they went out of their way to make it special.
I
honestly cannot thank the staff for all they do for my mum and to mum they are her family and that means the world to me.
People are very quick to judge carers and nurses and just presume everything should be done perfectly but do they realise what actually goes into caring especially with very demanding patients who require specialised help.
We as relatives obviously want the very best care and it is very easy for us to say your not doing this or that right but I know if I spent a few days actually inside the home doing the work they do opinions and expectations would change. They deserve our praise so please be nice relatives.

Thank you for taking the time to write this remarkable review. Our Residents are absolutely at the focus and heart of all we do. We take all our reviews seriously and see them as an opportunity for reflection. A review that raises a potential issue is a review that we can implement change if necessary, all be it very difficult if the review is several months old. Your review recognises the hard work and dedication of the team here at Kenwyn, and for that, we cannot be more thankful. We will be certain to share this review with the team.

Just returned from a fruitless visit to see my sister who is end of Life at Kenwyn Care Home. Nowhere on the write up about Kenwyn do they advise friends or families not to visit as they have an outbreak of Covid at the moment. At the door, we were told they have been closed already a few days. Why
was this not put on their site to prevent worthless visits? Sometimes family travelling many miles to get here.
Reply from Adele Beaton, Home Services Advisor at Barchester Kenwyn Care Home

On behalf of the General Manager of Kenwyn, I would like to thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention and reassure you that we take all our feedback extremely seriously
Would you be available for a call to discuss this further?
Our colleague who met you at the door and explained the situation at the time, remembers that you were warmly welcomed and invited into the home.
Relatives of our residents who are sadly end of life are always welcomed to visit, day or night, and we have always maintained these visits.
We would like to provide you with reassurance that our aim here at Kenwyn is to provide those that we support the very best level of care and that is at the very heart of all we do. We have an incredible team made up of caring individuals. We are sorry that you feel that your experience of Kenwyn at that time didn't meet your expectations. We wish you all the very best.

Review from S B (Resident) published on 6 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
After moving to another care home, I realised people actually cared about me. I felt bullied at Kenwyn Care Home which came from the management down. Always talking behind residents' and family members' backs and sadly hiding the truth. Kenwyn used to be a lovely place when I first arrived but it became
toxic and the activities and money they were given during even covid times was zero. Terrible activities and that was really hard for me mentally being locked into a care home.
They are more worried about their chandeliers than caring for the residents. The one person who really cared about me and all of the residents was the Sister on my unit. All the kind and good staff left. People need to know the truth and how they made me feel.

On behalf of the General Manager of Kenwyn, I would like to thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention, we take all our feedback extremely seriously. We always welcome and encourage the opportunity to be able to discuss any concern in person to enable us to identify possible issues and improve where necessary.
More than a year has passed since your newly documented concerns and it is unfortunately very difficult to investigate the issues that you have now raised.
The Activities Team at Kenwyn plan and implement a huge range of Life Enriching Activities. Many of our residents thoroughly enjoy our full diary of events and Activities and we are sorry to hear that you feel that your experience was different.
Thank you for acknowledging the care from the Sister – I will pass this on.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This home was recommended by professionals but there was a definite lack of care and compassion towards my mum. The list of issues is long, basic needs not attended to, very rude manager (think she may have left) both to other professionals and family members and staff. Mum's needs were not met and
were often overlooked. Staff told me on one occasion that she was having CPR when in fact it was a different client with the same Christian name. She went without meds because staff refused to allow entry to a named person despite Government guidelines saying to the contrary. They tried to feed her fish and chips when they knew she was finding it hard to swallow. She could barely swallow yoghurt or ice cream never mind chips! They failed to listen to her needs and suggested instead that we were purely thinking of ourselves. Mum was distressed and confused without the reassurance she needed. The whole experience was horrendous and I would never recommend this home to anyone for a loved one.

During regular visits, I have got to know many staff members at Kenwyn. The reception team are warm, friendly and supportive. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the nurses and carers who work closely with the residents. I admire and commend their fortitude and cheerful, unfaltering dedication
to their work, dealing as they do with a multitude of complex cases. Given that I never planned for my husband to require 24-hour care, he could not be in a better place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has resided in the home for 6 months when she became too frail to be at home and needed additional support. The home is beautiful and my aunt says it feels like a home from home for her. She has a better social life with other residents than she did when she was at home. Making friends and doing
activities her mental wellbeing is the best it's been for years and her physical health is being supported.
She enjoys her meals and has gained weight.
The staff are lovely and so supportive and keep me informed as to her next of kin along the way.
This was the best move for my aunt and she is blooming again in Kenwyn.

The manager and her team have created a kind, compassionate and caring environment at Kenwyn. Our aunt and uncle have been treated with genuine care and it has been a real comfort to us, knowing that they are safe. The medical care that they receive is comprehensive and the staff on both Tresco and
Trelissick have been amazingly kind and caring. I have utter confidence in Kenwyn and the staff there; their professionalism means that we don’t need to worry, even during a very difficult time for the family.

My wife was admitted to the care home with dementia. The care that she has received been absolutely wonderful in every way. I feel so reassured after each visit that she is in the best place possible with the condition she has. Most of all she is happy and enjoying time with the staff on the ward who
make the most of every day for my wife. It is also a great comfort to my 3 children and their families who feel exactly the same as me in their praise for the staff and the care home.

My father (84) was only at the home for three weeks before he died. In that time he was treated professionally and with great care. The staff were courteous and understanding of both his needs and our requirements. In these difficult Covid times, a difficult situation was made much easier due to the
staff understanding.

Manager and Deputy Manager were very supportive with all the problems I had with my uncle's care at Kenwyn. All the carers and staff were helpful, caring and considerate. Both my aunt and uncle were very well looked after at Kenwyn. There were one or two issues at the beginning but things greatly improved
after the new manager took over.

My husband was very well looked after. The staff were very friendly, loving and well trained to look after him. He was 90 years old, a diabetic, nearly blind, bedridden and suffered with late Parkinsons, so needed a lot of attention which he received. The staff handled his death with great respect and
organised the undertakers etc. well.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Barchester Kenwyn 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.810 for Barchester Kenwyn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.81
  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 Barchester Kenwyn Care Home is based on 26 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 102 registered maximum number of service users is 20.4, which has been reached with 26 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.

'As speak up champion for the home I act as a voice for colleagues to express their ideas, develop new ways of working and a pathway for them to report concerns. I regularly meet with the manager to discuss the running of the home from the colleagues’ perspective and am grateful that my colleagues feel able to trust me to speak to them.'
