Updated information on visits to our care homes
Following the government’s announcement that visitors can now go into care homes, we have taken the decision to NOT allow visitors UNTIL we have had time to assess the impact of lifting lockdown restrictions. We will, however, continue with our garden visits until the end of August. Garden visits need to be organised in advance with the home manager and social distancing rules will, of course, apply. We cannot yet welcome children but up to two adults at a time are allowed.
Procedures for allowing relatives into a home are being developed and will be introduced when we believe it is safe to do so. In the meantime, face to face meetings with loved ones will largely be restricted to gardens, unless your home manager agrees there are exceptional circumstances. Video and telephone calls will, of course, carry on as normal.
The health, safety and wellbeing of the people living in our homes underpins all our thinking and the measures we have in place reflect that priority. Thank you so much for your continued support, patience and understanding.

OUR LATEST NEWS
The future of social care
Specialist care needs to be designed properly and responsibly and that’s why I believe we need a national review into the way care is resourced and commissioned.
We need regular testing in care homes
With lockdown restriction easing considerably this weekend (for most of us at least), it’s tempting to think the end of COVID-19 is finally in sight. It isn’t. As the people of Leicester are finding out to their cost, outbreaks are still occurring and, when they happen in a care home, the impact can be devastating.
Scarf will wrap the home in love
For the last nine months, knitters from the local community have been knitting a scarf that is more than 365 metres long – sufficient to wrap around the entire circumference of Trewartha, our 37-bed nursing home in Carbis Bay.
Fantastic fundraising finale for Mia
Ten-year-old Mia Richardson has made it to John O’Groats on her cross trainer – a 1347-kilometre ‘magic’ journey from Land’s End that has so far raised more than £18,500 for Cornwall Care’s Blackwood House in Camborne.
Thank you for transforming our gardens
Gardens have never been more important. At a time when coronavirus restrictions mean we are all having to be careful about where we go and what we do, gardens – for those of us lucky enough to have access to them – have become places to relax and enjoy nature at its seasonal best.
Volunteers give Falmouth care home garden a magical makeover
