About Barnfield House

Barnfield House is a small residential care home in Liskeard, Cornwall. We support adults living with learning disabilities and autism and adults managing mental health conditions, and we try to run the house in a way that feels like a home shared by people who live here rather than a service delivered to them. That means the people who live at Barnfield House have a say in the ordinary things. What is cooked, how the shared rooms are arranged, what the week looks like, when visitors come. It also means we take time over the things that are easy to rush. Some of the people we support find change difficult, need information given in a particular way, or need space and quiet before they can manage something new. Working at that pace is not a delay. It is the work. We also offer respite stays for people who need a short period of support or whose family carers need a planned break, and we prepare carefully for those so that a short stay does not feel like an upheaval. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering Barnfield House is welcome to visit, meet us and see whether the house feels right.
