It was our first visit to a dear friend who is now a resident at Poldhu. Everyone was so friendly despite being busy.
We were taken to the lounge to chat with him. Lovely environment with lots of seating , very light and airy.
Staff treated both him and us with huge respect. We were impressed with
how settled and calm our friend appeared. It was so nice to feel so welcome and it is clear he is happy and settled.
Thank you so much for all you are doing for him

When I left the hospital with nowhere to go, Poldhu Care Home took me in and I have been welcomed every day since. There are a lot of people who don't respect we live here because we live in such a beautiful spot. The staff are absolutely wonderful, everyone from the cleaners to management.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care home I believe takes great care of its residents who are always looking well-kept, clean and tidy. The resident's rooms are perfectly clean and well-maintained. A criticism would be the telephone answering system which can be quite slow and frustrating especially if your loved one is unwell
and you are looking for an update. Other than this I believe food is very good, a new system has been put in place to give more choice for residents.
Regarding activities, it would be great if there were more staff available so that residents could be taken out for a small trip, this does happen but very infrequently and I think would make a big difference.
Overall I believe a good home with caring attentive staff.

The team at Poldhu have taken great care of my mother who's resided at Poldhu for 10 years now. I have every faith in the fact that every single day she is well cared for, with her best interest at heart, without a doubt. We as a family are so grateful for this and can't thank everyone enough. They
have been amazing at setting up weekly video chats with my mum for the ones who live further away and therefore aren't able to visit as often as we'd like. That connection is absolutely cherished. The relationships built between the team and my mum plus with us as a family really matter to us - thank you. Would highly recommend.

Our very close and dear friend went to Poldhu Care Home for terminal care in October 2023. When we visited the staff were all very welcoming and cheerful to us and more to the point, gentle, kind and loving to our friend, always treating her with the respect she deserved. She was kept beautifully clean
and comfortable. The staff responded quickly and efficiently when our friend needed help. It would be hard to see how she could have had better care.

My grandad was cared for at Poldhu for seven months until he passed away and I cannot thank the team at Poldhu enough for the care, dignity and respect they gave him. We faced many challenges but the team were supportive at every step and always had his best interests at heart. Their end-of-life care
could not be faulted which they provided not only to my grandad but to every family member and friend that visited him. The support and care they gave us as a family during his last days will not be forgotten.

My auntie has been beautifully cared for at the Poldhu care home for almost the last 3 years. It’s a lovely setting there on the Cornish coast and they offer good food, warmth and entertainment for their residents. However, it is the genuine loving care and attention that every one of the staff provides
that is the real attraction.
They are all thoughtful, attentive, respectful and kind and happy to help in whatever role they play.
Our thanks to them all for their care!

My mother moved into Poldhu Care Home in June 2021. She was finding the change from leaving her own home quite challenging at first. With the help of the amazingly caring staff, she is beginning to feel more at home. She loves her room but needs encouragement to socialise with the other residents. I
cannot praise the staff enough. They are all very warm and friendly. The highest praise goes to the activities person, who makes a point of including her in all the activities and getting her to leave her room to meet like-minded residents. She is now settling in well, which gives us peace of mind. The home is beautiful with stunning views!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Poldhu Care Home for nearly five years, she is 96 and although her memory is not as good as it was, she has reasonable mobility (now with a walking frame) and most of the time, fairly on the ball mentally. The staff are extremely kind, she is always commenting on how lovely they
are to her and very caring. The last year has been difficult for us all, but the staff at Poldhu have handled the whole thing extremely professionally, keeping all infection at bay, and helping keep up the morale of their residents - not an easy thing to do in a pandemic. I know that my mother has suffered emotionally from not having contact with me or her grandchildren, and I think the staff are aware of this and do everything they can to support and help in any way they can. The management at the home are extremely approachable and willing to help in whatever way they can. In fact, the whole of the staff have to be highly commended for their work over the past year.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I remember soon after my mother became a resident at Poldhu feeling the need to apologise to some other residents for what she was saying. One of the care staff was quick to reassure me and explain they were looking after her now. How well they have done that caring is evident in the affection and care
staff show to her.
All my family have been impressed when visiting my mum at her home. The staff have been unfailingly friendly and helpful. Currently, the home seems to have coped wonderfully and remains infection-free.
We had a visit last year at the home from a visitor appointed by the legal guardian, and he commented favourably on the clear lines of responsibility and the welcoming friendly atmosphere. I should also comment on the excellent food and wonderful entertainments we have enjoyed there.
My mother always said she would never go into a home but is now enjoying her fifth year there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was a resident at Poldhu from June 2019 until her death in April 2021.


The atmosphere at Poldhu is very special. There's a warmth and a feeling of love when you come through the door: it feels like a family. We don’t live locally, so we were very dependent on the staff to keep us

informed of how she was, particularly during the lockdown. Everyone at Poldhu is outstandingly kind, caring and respectful, and the manager was always very responsive and sensitive and did her utmost to ensure we could see my mother-in-law as often and as safely as possible. During her final days, the staff at Poldhu cared for my mother-in-law with great respect, gentleness and affection, and they could not have done more to look after and support us as a family. I couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone looking for nursing or residential care for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.286)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.286) out of 10 for Poldhu is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 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 4.717 for Poldhu is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.717
  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 4.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Poldhu is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.769
  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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2018

I have worked in Healthcare for over 17 years having qualified as a Nurse more than 10 years ago. After working in different settings, I came back to the care home setting as it is my passion. Being able to support residents and their loved ones, ensuring that they have the best possible experience in our home and feel a part of our community is extremely rewarding.


I thrive in challenging situations and pride myself on my adaptability. I encourage our team to always look for the positives and what we can learn from every situation. This enables the home to constantly move forward and embrace new challenges, it allows the team to grow and feel pride in their work.


Prior to joining Poldhu I previously held the position of Registered Manager at our sister home in Penzance, Ponsandane.
