Good afternoon Sheila. Thank you so much for this really positive and informative review of your experience, (and more importantly, your mum's experience) living at our St Petroc's Residential Care Home in Bodmin, Cornwall. It's lovely to read that you feel the decision to move your mum to St Petroc's was 'the best thing you ever did'. We see situations such as yours regularly in our care homes, I often speak to residents who say 'I wished I'd moved in years ago, but I was worried I was giving up my independence' etc. It's hard for us, as an industry, to convince people (and their families) that a move to a care home can so often be a life-enhancing experience with a network of new friends, confidence that there is always somebody on hand to help out if needed (plus all of the cooking, laundry etc done for you. Thank you for acknowledging our 'amazing' care team members - it's all down to them really! And yes, we all hope that we will soon see regular family visits for all!
