About Woodland Residential Care Home

Woodland Residential Care Home is a residential care home in St. Austell, Cornwall. We are home to older people who need support with everyday life, including residents living with dementia and residents with mental health needs, and we offer respite stays for shorter periods. Residents here have different histories, different routines and very different ideas of a good day, so we plan support one person at a time rather than running the house on a single timetable. Help with personal care, meals, medication and appointments is given quietly and with respect for privacy, and whatever a resident can still manage themselves is protected rather than taken over. Dementia care shapes much of our work. Knowing a person's history, the people and places that matter to them and the rhythms that suit them is what allows us to reassure rather than argue when someone is unsettled. Mental health needs ask for the same patience and for noticing a change early rather than waiting for it to become a crisis, and we work alongside colleagues in local health teams where that helps. Families are welcome whenever they wish to come and we would far rather hear a concern while it is small. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we hold ourselves to it in the ordinary details of every day.
