My wife has been a full-time resident of Kernow House Care Home since February 2014. Recently I received a phone call to advise me that she was running a high temperature and the head nurse had asked the GP for an urgent prescription for an antibiotic, but they would call me if there was a further problem. At 5 a.m. the following morning I received a call from the night shift staff to say they had called the urgent response team because there had been a delay on the prescription and they were seeking support. I drove to Kernow House Care Home and sat by my wife while the team looked after her. The head nurse arrived and took control of the situation and demonstrated a detailed knowledge of my wife and her behaviour which showed me how carefully she has been observing all the residents in her care. I was deeply impressed by the professional behaviour and empathy the staff team demonstrated to both my wife and myself.
This is a fantastic review, Jeremy. Thank you so much. I am so pleased that the work of our skilled clinicians does not go unrecognised, and that you feel confident that our team are responsive when it comes to your wife's health and social needs. Thank you again.
The staff treat dad with both care and dignity which we feel is vital when dealing with Dementia. We cannot fault the care he has been given.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I am so pleased you are happy with the care your father is receiving. I will ensure this great feedback is shared with the whole team here at Kernow House.
Finding the right home is daunting, however from the 1st of several telephone discussions and emails we felt very comfortable with our...
Finally, we asked ourselves “Is this the sort of place we would like to live if that time ever came” The answer was a resounding yes!
Thank you for this wonderful review. Although she wasn't with us for long, she will be greatly missed! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you all and have the privilege of caring for your loved one.

I feel Barchester Kernow House Care Home is caring, friendly and they have my husband's needs just right. It feels homely and not institutionalised, very relaxed, they can not do enough for me and my family when visiting. I have no worries and know he is safe and truly cared for. It's hard for me to let go and visit nearly everyday. Still getting used to losing the husband and friend I had six months ago.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We are very happy that you feel this way and would like to assure you that we will continue to give great care to your husband. We take pride in the care we provide and also in caring for and maintaining positive relationships with loved ones. Please feel free to contact us any time you need to.

All the staff make the effort to get to know our family members too and to receive a warm welcome on visiting makes a big difference to us. We are eternally grateful.
Thank you for this lovely review, the staff are always incredibly grateful for feedback regarding the hard work they do. Thanks again.
Although the past few weeks have been exceptionally hard for the staff they have done a wonderful job in doing all they can to keep residents safe. I am an essential caregiver for my husband and so thankfully can still visit him. I can tell he is very fond of the staff and it shows that in the way...
Christmas was still celebrated and the home looked lovely. Every care was taken so everything carried on the same.
Thank you so much for your kind words. They are very much appreciated.
It's difficult for me to express opinions in detail as I was unable to enter the building because of Covid restrictions. My views are based on conversations with the nurses and carers at Kernow House and what my husband has said during the time he was there (9months) and since he has returned home.

Her room is beautiful and kept really clean. She is cared for by lovely staff who really know her. Everyone we met on our visit went out of their way in making us feel really welcome. It's a caring and friendly environment.
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement for the staff we really do appreciate it.

My brother moved to Kernow House on May 30th just over 4 years ago until he passed away on 30th July 2021. I regularly received letters and phone calls telling me all the things he had been doing with activities, storytelling, pop up cafe, methodist service, bingo. Before covid enjoying minibus trips, all his personal needs were taken care of with kindness and dignity. Hair cuts, nails, feet teeth and glasses. What a wonderful choice of meals he told me about he really enjoyed the food there. He had really enjoyed his years abt Kernow House and could not have wished for anything better. The staff were all kind people.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Your brother was very much a part of our Kernow family and is sadly missed. I can't tell you how much this lifts the staff during a particularly difficult time. We really do appreciate the time you took to review us. Take care and all the best for the future. Amanda

Arriving for the first time to visit my dad, I was nervous about what I would find after a previous horrendous so-called care home nearly killed him. I was greeted by happy, friendly and informative staff who all appeared to know exactly what dad liked/disliked. Dad was wonderful and much improved. He looked well and could converse for the first time in months. This in my view, is all down to the TLC shown by the wonderful staff.
What a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to give such lovely feedback to the staff here at Kernow, I know how much they appreciate it. kind regards, Amanda.
Every member of staff was welcoming and had time to talk if any questions arose. The home was clean, tidy and smelt fresh. Residents all seem content, very well supervised and cared for. Loved the 'in-house' cat! The staff made visiting a real pleasure.

I have been well informed. The staff have been amazing and respectful, they are clearly well-led. Visiting during the pandemic has been organised and very well executed. Concerns I raised were discussed and a solution was found. Happy with everything.

Kernow House certainly deserves another huge thanks from us. Their care and dedication to Mum (and us all as a family) have been outstanding throughout 2020. When our weekly visits ended, staff were quick to offer Skype, and this has been amazing over the past 9 months. Mum adores seeing her whole family on a regular basis and she truly continues to share our lives. Thanks to the many staff members who have enabled this, you are all fantastic. The introduction of outdoor visits has been brilliant for Mum to see us face to face, and the new pods are so cosy in these winter months. I've also received excellent telephone updates (as required) to discuss Mum's care needs and the families meeting on Zoom was also lovely. Of course, we all miss seeing you like we did, but Mum is doing so well, always looks happy and we are 100% included in her care. Thanks also for accommodating the regular flower deliveries, her room always looks lovely. Happy New Year and best wishes.
Over the eight months my mum spent in Kernow House myself and my family were very happy with the standard of care she received. Obviously it was an extremely challenging time for the carers, Mum and ourselves due to the restrictions posed by the Covid pandemic. Visiting had to be curtailed for long...
At the end of her life she was treated with gentleness, kindness and respect as indeed were we. What more can I say? Thank you to all the staff at Kernow House.

My cousin has been a resident for many years and my brother was also a resident for 12 years. During that time, the care shown to both has been excellent. Both have suffered from Huntington's Disease and the staff are extremely knowledgeable of this condition. The staff have always been very welcoming and supportive towards me during times of uncertainty. Additionally, there is a wide range of activities to suit everyone and the opportunity to have trips out, which have greatly enhanced the wellbeing of the residents. The building is always clean and decorated to make it feel very homely. The staff also decorate the communal areas for special occasions ie. Christmas, Easter, Remembrance Day, Halloween. The resident's birthdays are celebrated with a cake. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kernow House for either respite care or as a resident.
Many thanks for your feedback. It means so much to the team here at Kernow during what is such a difficult and challenging time for us all. I will certainly feed this back to the team. Happy Christmas to you all. Kind regards.
The care Dad has received has been excellent and all the staff are caring, professional and take great pride in looking after everyone in their care. I am very happy with the care Dad has received during his time at Kernow House.

My mum found settling very difficult, there were several homes before Kernow House. I found she relaxed there. I know she had many upsets but they coped well with her. I have nothing but great respect for the staff and a lot of thanks for their care.

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.
