It’s the team at Trevarna, who are dedicated to enriching the lives of their residents, which make it feel like a home from home.
With dedicated highly trained nurses, they provide residential, nursing and dementia care. The team also provides respite care breaks, which can also be booked in advance. These are ideal for family carers who would like to take a short break themselves, with the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
The home features a fully enclosed, internal garden, which is a wonderful space to enjoy summer garden parties and relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. Many of the residents also enjoy gardening activities, growing their own flowers and produce as they would have done before moving into the care home, giving them a sense of continuity and purpose. With wheelchair friendly pathways and plenty of seating areas, the garden is a hub of activity.
Inside the home there has been an extensive refurbishment by not-for-profit leading care provider Sanctuary Care, including spacious, welcoming lounges to enjoy activities.
Life is always busy at Trevarna, from animal therapy sessions to live entertainment, with everything from singers to magicians. And a mobile hairdresser also visits for appointments with the residents in the home’s salon.
Situated in the heart of St Austell, the team is passionate about keeping those community links alive with trips out and about. From the neighbouring library and Poltair Park, to the beach and Charlestown Harbour.
In the dining rooms, delicious, home-cooked meals are prepared by the home’s chef. From roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays, and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.
Situated in the town centre, within walking distance of the train station, the home has excellent transport links and plenty of parking for visitors.

Staff just didn't have time, always in a hurry to care for the next person. Mum had to wait ages to use the bathroom, was often helped to get up very late morning and very late going to bed ,despite requesting help.
The 'activities ' were minimal or just didn't happen.
I don't feel any of the staff got to know my Mum in the 8 weeks she was there.
Seeing other residents sitting, doing nothing with minimal interactions was upsetting.
Thank you to the staff who were caring and kind, not easy when you're under pressure. More staff/ residents ratio needed to ensure quality care is given.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about Trevarna. We're saddened to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand your concerns and discuss how we can work towards a resolution. Please get in touch with the home at your convenience. Your feedback is important to us.

When we were shown round it looked really good and we felt Mum's needs would be catered for: there were daily activities and a lovely dining room. We were told Mum could call for assistance at any time, and regular comfort checks would be made. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of staff, this wasn't the case - Mum often waited a long time for her bell to be answered - then staff were rushing. The 'activities' were mainly television, or something different from the hydration trolley. Few residents had capacity, so Mum stopped going to the dining room. After almost choking, we were assured Mum would have soft food, and someone with her at mealtimes - but that didn't happen. Residents wandered in to Mum's room. Laundry was hit and miss, so we took it home. The staff were polite and kind, but were under pressure and didn't have time to spend helping Mum: at least one went off with stress. Fortunately Mum had visitors daily. Staff did their best, but I feel it needs to improve.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We have recently welcomed a new manager to the home and continue to strengthen our team to support residents and their families. If you have any ongoing concerns, we would be happy to speak with you directly.

My son has thrived since coming to Trevarna. He is younger than most of the residents and has multiple needs. He is treated with respect and dignity. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is very good. My son's room is quiet and airy and allows him to be as independent as reasonably possible. While nowhere is perfect Trevarna is about as good as you can get.

Very friendly staff! High level of care given to mother-in-law. Clean environment. Good choice of meals. We were allowed to make her room homely. A variety of activities are available throughout the year.

It was a very difficult decision to put my Partner into full-time care, but from day one, everyone was amazing. Regardless of their role in the home. Always a warm welcome, and excellent care, which was difficult at times due to my partner's dementia. The 'end of life' care was outstanding. The staff were amazing, checking and supporting me at such a difficult time. Good communication from the manager.

All of the staff showed an excellent quality of care and compassion in looking after my father. We visited every day and each time the staff were extremely cheerful, polite, happy, helpful and they all genuinely cared about the residents they were looking after.

My mum was very welcomed on her arrival into Trevarna in July 2024. She has continued to receive excellent and ongoing care and her stay has and is enjoyed daily. The staff made Mum feel very welcome and are attentive to all her needs - nothing is too much trouble.

My brother has been at the care home for several months. He has been well cared for and enjoyed the activities arranged by the event organisers. Access for family members has been good. The security for residents is good and everyone entering has to be signed in and vetted properly. Everyone's needs are different and all residents should have a voice.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience of Trevarna. We're delighted to hear that your brother is well cared for and enjoys the activities. Ensuring a secure environment and accommodating the needs of all residents are our top priorities and the team is passionate about meeting the very individual needs of their residents.
Mum was a resident of Trevarna for 9 years. During that time while her she herself went into decline from dementia, I have to say that the care, respect, kindness and love shown to Mum by the staff was outstanding. My dad visited Mum practically every day and all the staff took time to get to know...
We always knew that Mum had the very best of care and attention and the carers, nurses and staff do an excellent job.
Thank you for your beautiful review for Trevarna - the team will be touched to read your comments. They are indeed so passionate about embracing loved ones in the home too, as one big family.

I visited Trevarna St Austell with a friend whose wife is a resident. It is the second time I have been there and my first impression was good. I mentioned to the staff how nice it was there. I have worked in nursing homes and have witnessed how bad things can be. Trevarna is clean, bright and airy and although I know how hard it is to keep homes smelling fresh, it is not always possible to be perfect, but Trevarna ticks all the boxes for 'good'. Well done to manager and staff.
Thank you for your review for Trevarna, the team will be proud to read your kind words.

My close friend arrived at Trevarna in early January 2024, having spent a month in hospital. I live in France and was keen to make sure he had settled in well on arrival. The receptionist could not have been more helpful, informative or friendly over the phone and she became the constant point of contact for me pretty much every day until my friend passed away. I spent 10 days in Cornwall, organising proceedings for my friend, and became well acquainted with just some of the staff, nurses and carers there. I cannot praise them enough for their foresight, kindness, empathy and sense of humour. The care was second to none.
Thank you for your review for Trevarna, especially written at such a difficult time, the team will be touched to read your comments about your friend's care.
Mum has middle-stage dementia and can be quite challenging at times. She was in another care home previously however was asked to leave as the staff were unable to manage her behaviour which was really disappointing as I understood it was pretty typical for dementia (basically she got extremely...
Luckily my wife and I found Trevarna and the experience could not have been more different.
They have treated my mum with the compassion and care she deserves and have avoided confrontation by managing any situations that may arise with patience and understanding.
When I speak to the staff they clearly have taken the time to get to know Mum and how best to look after her needs.
I cannot be any more grateful as it has been a pretty fraught 12 months and knowing that Mum is being looked after so well is very reassuring indeed.
Thank you for your wonderful review, we are so happy you have found Trevarna, the team are certainly very special.
