About Trewidden Care Home

Trewidden Care Home is in St Ives, Cornwall. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We aim for a home that is calm, warm and unhurried. Most people arrive having found things hard at home, and what helps first is simply being properly looked after. Decent meals, help that comes before you have to ask twice, a clean and comfortable room that becomes yours, and staff who learn who you are rather than what your care plan says. A fair amount of our work involves people living with both dementia and long standing mental ill health, a combination that can see people moved from place to place. We would rather be somewhere that holds steady. Consistent staff, a predictable day and treating distress as something with a cause do most of the work. Residents carry on running their own lives as far as they are able, and we encourage people to bring their own furniture and pictures. Being in St Ives, the coast is close and a change of scene is easy. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round Trewidden.
