I cannot praise Barchester Kernow House Care Home highly enough. The staff are extremely caring and all seem to be happy in their workplace, there is always a good atmosphere and every single resident seems to be content. I believe the leadership comes from the top. The manager is a great manager.

We are so grateful to all the staff at Kernow House and delighted that we found such a wonderful home for our dear dad.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, we are so pleased that you are all happy with the care here at Kernow House. It is an absolute pleasure to get to know you all and we are always here if there is anything that you wish to discuss.
Amazing staff, incredibly caring and supportive for my father. It's a huge relief to know he is safe and with people who treat him with the utmost respect and dignity. I can't speak more highly.

Ever since being welcomed at the doors of the unit, my husband has started on a new journey in his life. He is now settled into his new life and is made to feel safe, secure, well-loved and cared for. This has given him a sense of purpose and feeling of self-worth. So for me, I know the right choice was made for home. Can't ask for anything more.
Thank you for this lovely review; we are very touched by your words and will share them with the team. It has been a pleasure getting to know you both.

My friend has always been treated with care and dignity and over the years I have been encouraged to involve myself in some of her personal care eg: hairdressing. I have always been kept informed of any changes to her care via her husband. I am very grateful to the staff for making my best friend as comfortable and content as she can be.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it is always lovely to see you and we will pass your kind words on to the unit.

I felt very welcomed on arrival by the receptionist and caring staff. The caring staff were super, offering drinks and even a bit of lunch as my sister was having hers. My sister has been to a lot of homes in care in he lifetime due to mental illness and I feel that she is well cared for here for her high needs. She is more content here than anywhere she has been. We are so grateful, the lovely staff and home.
What a fantastic review. We are really happy that you feel your sister is now in the right place to meet her needs. Thank you so much.

My sister's transition into Kernow House took place with genuine compassion from all the staff. I have nothing but the highest praise for their care and kindness shown. In fact, they all go 'that extra mile' in the commitment of the care to residents and their families. You could not wish for better care that is provided for your loved ones at Kernow House. Safety and comfort are extremely shown in their 'home from home' environment, giving relatives peace of mind their loved ones are 100% happy. Also, the food and dietary requirements are truly amazing! Love to all.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We could not be happier that you feel this way about our home and staff. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team looking after your sister.

My husband was in Kernow House for approx 8 years. During that stressful time, the staff were incredible. They were kind, thoughtful and very helpful. There was plenty of activities and visits from singers etc and also he was out on the minibus to the coast on several occasions. I cannot praise the care home enough and am very happy he was a resident here.
We are all very proud of the care and support all our staff give to our wonderful residents. Thank you so much for your kind review.

My husband is well looked after, the room he is in is bright and it’s always clean, he’s able to have photos and personal things to remind him of home. The staff are very friendly and when we visit they can’t do enough for us. If I’ve got any concerns they are sorted out quickly and most importantly they keep me informed if my husband is unwell.
Thank you for your kind words, we are so pleased that you are happy with the care here at Kernow House. It's always lovely to see you too.
Our father has lived at Kernow for about 1.5 years. It is now his home. We both live in Canada and we cannot be there to take care of Dad, so we entrust the staff at Kernow to. He has some key members of staff that know him well and make sure his needs are being met on a daily basis. All staff...
Special thanks go to one member of staff in particular, who not only looks after Dad day to day but diligently helps Dad video call us every weekend. He is our dad's lifeline, and we couldn't be more grateful. When we visit every 6 months we are treated like family. We couldn't ask for better care.
Thank you for your lovely compliment, we are so pleased that we can give you peace of mind while looking after Dad. He certainly does enjoy the activities and events on offer here! It is always lovely to see you and your family when you visit.

I wouldn’t have my husband anywhere else, from the management to the carers they are all such wonderful people.
Thank you for your lovely words. we will share these with the unit. We love seeing you and your dog coming to visit, and really enjoy caring for your husband. We are so pleased that you are happy with the care provided at Kernow.

I cannot speak highly enough of the whole team and would highly recommend to anyone who is in the position of finding care for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for your lovely review; we have shared this with the team on the unit. It was a privilege to care for your mother and to get to know her family. We have fond memories of you all and wish you all the very best.

My wife has been in care at Barchester Kernow House Care Home for almost five years and is now nearing her 92nd birthday. I visit her every day and know how well she's looked after by the lovely nurses and carers. I love her so much still after 64 years of marriage. The staff and I are so aware of the care needed for her well-being. If you or your loved ones are offered a residency at Barchester Kernow House Care Home grab it with both hands. Believe me, you will not regret it.
Thank you very much for your lovely review, we are so happy that you are so pleased with your wife's care at Kernow House. It is a pleasure to care for her and to get to know you both.

The unit is spotlessly clean and decorated to look more like a private home rather than a nursing home.
Thank you so much for this review. We are all so pleased that you had a great first impression of our lovely home, and I will share this feedback with the team.

The manager has an open-door policy which is good to sort out any problems you may have. The home is very clean and my son's bedroom is the same. He is well cared for and this is a comfort to me because I am 84 and I know when I am no longer around my son will be okay. My son has korsakoff not quite the same as dementia-I would like him to go out of the unit more which is something he likes. Like all care homes, I would like regular care staff so my son can remember them, but I know the home is doing the best it can! Now the nursing staff in Kernow is good, I can talk to them about my son.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so pleased you are happy with the care and support your son is receiving.

This is the first time I have visited my aunt here. Her room was large with a nice window to see the garden, and an en-suite with various bits of equipment to aid her handling. Her room was clean and tidy. She was in the lounge sitting in her own wheelchair, it looked so expensive and comfortable. My aunt was in good spirits although she was poorly with a temperature. All care is given to aid the situation, thank you so much for her care.
What a lovely review. We are so pleased you are happy with the care and support your niece is receiving and very grateful for the feedback. I will share this with the team. Thank you.

My mum has been unwell but the way the nursing staff handled both my mum and myself was outstanding. They kept me constantly informed and completely put my mind at rest as to how she was being looked after and treated. They also have listened in the past to the sort of care I wish my mum to receive, they constantly ask if they can do anything to improve her care but as far as I am concerned she is 100% in the right place, with the right people, the best possible care receiving.
This is a lovely review. Thank you so much. I cannot tell you how pleased we are to know you are happy with the care and support your mum is receiving.

My lovely dad chose to go into a nursing home following a terminal diagnosis as he wanted our final weeks with him to be as his family rather than as his carers. We chose Kernow House because of its clinical reputation but in reality our abiding memory was of the warmth of the care. Sadly my dad died only 10 days after moving into Kernow Care. But during his short time there, the staff took the time to get to know him as a person, and his likes and dislikes. They treated him with dignity, kindness and absolute warmth. Nothing was too much trouble - the staff were both responsive and proactive. They also took the time to get to know us, and his family, and quietly supported us through a traumatic time. In his last few hours, during the time it took us to drive to Kernow House, one of the team sat by his bedside, holding his hand, showing him the photo of us, his family, making sure he was never alone. We miss him so much but we are so glad that we chose Kernow House. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, it was a privilege to care for your lovely dad and to get to know you all. Thank you for choosing us.
Our experience has been excellent since we have been visiting. All the staff have been really kind and caring. Nothing has been too much trouble. You keep us informed if there are any changes. It gives us peace of mind knowing that our family member is relaxed and well cared for.

Welcome to Kernow House, my name is Leigh and I am the General Manager at the home.
I am a registered mental health nurse. Prior to becoming a nurse, I spent 13 years as a soldier in the British Army, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and other overseas operations. I became interested in post-traumatic stress disorder and decided to train as a nurse. During this nurse training, I discovered a particular interest in working with dementia and decided to pursue a career in this.
As a Manager, I put my leadership skills to good use when managing the home. I ensure we deliver person-centred care in a therapeutic manner and share my knowledge with other staff, both within the home and with outside professionals.
I acknowledge that whilst residents are at the forefront of our home, it is important that staff are supported, so the care we deliver as a whole home is filled with passion and enthusiasm.
