About Kilmar House

Kilmar House is a residential care home in Liskeard, providing care for older people who can no longer manage comfortably on their own. We are a small home and have no wish to be anything else, because it means the team genuinely know the people who live here, their routines, their families and what makes a day go well or badly. Our approach is straightforward. People keep their own habits, their own belongings and as much independence as they want. Some are up early and busy, others prefer a slow start and a quiet sitting room, and both are perfectly reasonable. Meals matter a great deal here, and so does the ordinary company of the house, so we put real effort into both. Respite stays are available too, whether somebody needs care for a short period after illness or a family carer needs a genuine break. We plan short stays as carefully as a permanent move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The better test is whether people who live here seem settled. Please come and see us.
