Overall Experience

My husband has been at Poldhu for 16 months, all the staff are very caring and helpful. If he can't be home, this is where I would like him to be.

Review from A F (Sister of Resident) published on 19 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This care home is the most remarkable one I have ever visited. It is like a 5-star hotel. The food is delicious and the care outstanding. Even though there are extremely difficult patients in residence they are treated with respect and dignity. The care my sister received in her last few weeks of life was outstanding and thus made it much easier for us, her family, to leave her each day.

Brondi Sheehy
Brondi SheehyJob Title:Registered ManagerJoined: 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.
