  • St Breock Residential Care Home, Wadebridge
It’s the team at St Breock, who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, which make this home special. The home is thriving, with so many activities and experiences which bring such joy.

Run by a manager who has been there for over 16 years and a deputy of over 10 years, the team provide residential and dementia care, and respite care breaks. These can be booked in advance, so are ideal for family carers who would like to plan a short break, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

The team are passionate about keeping those community connections alive. There are regular entertainers, musicians, and music from the Forget-me-Not Chorus. And to honour a special tradition in Padstow, every year they organise an incredible ‘Obby Oss Strike Up’ festival in the home, with folk singers, musicians and dancers in traditional regalia.

The home even enlisted the help of local school children with its garden revamp, who listened to what the residents wanted, and created some very special designs for judging.

St Breock is in a picturesque hilltop location, with beautiful views across Wadebridge. There are so many places for the residents to enjoy, from trips along the riverside Camel Trail, to ice cream parlours and cafés, and spending time volunteering with the town’s community garden project.

This summer the team took a group of residents for a day out at the Royal Cornwall Show, where they enjoyed everything from tasting cider to paintball gun targets!

St Breock is an immaculate home. In the dining room, residents enjoy delicious, home cooked meals, from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays, and home baking for afternoon tea.

There is a welcoming conservatory overlooking the garden, where residents can enjoy activities, spending time with loved ones, or enjoy singalongs with the piano and a hairdressing room, for regular appointments with a mobile hairdresser.

My auntie has been a resident in St Breock for two years, and in all that time, I know she is being cared for and looked after so well by the amazing staff, who are always cheerful, and nothing is ever too much trouble, and they are all very approachable if you do have any concerns.
Everyone seems
to go above and beyond their job roles!
There is always something happening to entertain and involve the residents in various activities.
Well done, St Breock; keep up the good work!

Staff very friendly - the atmosphere of the home feels welcoming. There seem to be a lot of activities, and now that the Covid restrictions are not there any more, things seem to be going along well. My mother entered the home right at the start of the pandemic, and the difference in visiting the home
from this time last year even is very positive.

Both my parents were taken into St Breocj home together in February 2020 and remained there together until my mum passed away in January 2021. My dad will remain in the home until her will sadly pass away. They have been very happy there, and all the staff and carers have been brilliant. They have been
cared for wonderfully - my mum particularly enjoyed all the company. From my point of view, as the daughter, it has been a difficult time for the 12-months with Covid restrictions and visiting arrangements.

Dad has been at St Breock for just over four years now. We have been delighted with the care that the team has given - not to just dad - but to all our family. They all work so hard and we can't thank them enough for caring for Dad.

A caring environment centred in the community where local primary school comes to visit and sing. The staff make an effort to help ensure that each resident has support, dignity and feel valued and included. It has been a tough Covid year, and St Breock has been exemplary in keeping the residents safe
whilst also trying to ensure that the family maintain as much contact with the resident as possible with garden visits etc. Dementia is a tough illness, but I trust that St Breock keeps my dad safe and try to ensure that some of his personality and interest are encouraged and maintained.

All staff have been helpful, polite, informative and caring. My questions are always answered, and any problems Mum has are dealt with promptly, and she is constantly reviewed as she increasingly needs help. I can't thank St Breock enough for caring for my precious Mum, and above all, keeping her safe.

As we live in East Kent we are unlikely to know anyone else in Cornwall therefore, unable to recommend. We are, however, very satisfied with the care my sister receives and would be very likely to recommend St Breock if we were nearer.

My mother is treated with care, dignity and patience especially when mother is in a difficult frame of mind due not only to her age but her dementia.
We wouldn't be able to manage mother in our home and are pleased and grateful she gets the care and love she deserves.

My brother had to move homes about 5 years ago and was worried about it, he needed more care. He moved to St Breock and has been extremely happy there. He enjoys the activities and the lovely caring staff. It is a happy place.

Until recently Feb 2019 mother has been relatively independent but now she has lost that. Her needs have changed and the staff at St Breock are managing her needs very well. Mother is very challenging at times and I think the staff are very patient. We are kept well informed. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for St Breock Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.916 for St Breock Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (441 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 478 Ratings = 4.916

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Breock Residential Care Home is based on 41 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 41 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
