About Trecarrel Care Home

Trecarrel Care Home is at Tywardreath in Cornwall, and we provide residential care for older people along with respite stays for shorter periods, planned or needed at short notice. We try to run a home rather than an institution, and most of that is a matter of ordinary detail. What time you like to get up. Whether you want company at meals or would rather sit quietly with the paper. Which chair is yours and which programmes you never miss. We help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility, and we do it without fuss, leaving as much privacy and as much choice with the resident as we can manage. Where somebody can still do something themselves, that is theirs to keep. Dementia care is a significant part of our work. We keep the daily rhythm and the surroundings steady, give people time instead of hurrying them along, and take trouble to learn about earlier life, because knowing that someone fished, or farmed, or always took their tea strong and early is genuinely useful when words become unreliable. Families usually hold that story, and we ask for it. Respite bookings are planned as carefully as permanent moves, since a break is only restful if the person at home has properly settled. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on an ordinary day, have a cup of tea, and ask us anything you like.
