With just 36 bedrooms and a team which is passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, Chyvarhas has a warm, family feel the moment you walk through the door.

Providing residential, nursing, dementia care and palliative care, the team also offers respite care breaks, which are ideal for family carers who would like to take a short break themselves, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

In keeping with the name of the home, meaning ‘meeting point’ in Cornish, the team is passionate about embracing the local community into life at Chyvarhas, from regular singers, musicians and performers, to local school children, who enjoy activities with the residents.

Every month, carers from the local community are invited to the home’s dementia support group, which takes places on the third Friday of every month, from 10am to noon.

There are also regular exercise sessions with Love to Move, and animal therapy visits, with everything from rabbits to owls!

The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy, from impromptu singalongs to baking and pamper sessions. A mobile hairdresser also visits for regular appointments with the residents.

Chyvarhas is unique in its layout, with four wings – with three cosy lounges, two of which lead to their own private secure garden. In the summer the residents love spending time gardening, or relaxing with loved ones, who are welcome at any time.

There is a spacious central dining room, where residents socialise with delicious, home cooked meals, from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays, and home baking for afternoon tea.

Chyvarhas also has its own private Facebook group, so families can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there each day in person.

Situated on the main bus route, the home has excellent transport links and a large, secure car park.

My father is receiving end of life care at Chyvarhas. He has stated to me that he feels very safe and secure here. His desperate anxiety, especially at night has diminished incredibly. The 24 hour care is highly professional and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. From a personal point of view,
I find the home clean and tidy and I have a good relationship with the management team. My family have been made to feel very welcome.

The staff provide a very caring environment for all residents and nothing is too much trouble for them. When necessary they provide support to families and welcome them into the 'family' of the home. I am so pleased that my husband is a resident at Chyvarhas as I could not wish for better care from
all staff.

During the last month of my husband's life, the care he was given was second to none. The carers were in and out of his room regularly. The last two days were spent in repositioning him every hour. I could not ask for more. I shall be eternally grateful to them.

The staff were very friendly, available, caring and kind to our mother. They always explained anything they were going to do to her and spent a lot of time encouraging her to eat and drink. They turned her regularly to avoid any sores whether sitting out dressed or lying in bed and checked whether she
wanted to stay where she was or be moved. Visitors were also treated in a friendly manner and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We knew she was in good hands when we could not be there. The staff showed great sensitivity when it became apparent she was dying.

My mum has been in hospital since Christmas Eve after falling over. She had a brief return home and a stay at respite care before going back into the hospital where she became extremely restless and aggressive. She was sent to a care home in Newquay where after two falls was back in hospital and then
sent to her current care home, which was a relief to the family as she has settled in well due to the care and the support the staff have given her.

Our friend entered Chyvarhas late December 2015 with dementia. Her illness has progressed so that she is unable to walk, talk, eat or recognise anyone or anything. Throughout her stay, the staff have cared for her in the nicest way - always. During our regular visits, we have been well informed by friendly
staff. The care home is always warm and tidy.

I've been a regular visitor at Chyvarhas for 2 years and have noticed the staff are very caring and treat everyone with dignity and kindness. The one bedroom I have seen needs decorating. The main day room is spacious but could do with a cooling system in a heatwave.

The best carers, management, nurses I could ever wish for, for my dear mother. You did more than beyond for mum's care. Thank you for your love, professionalism, empathy, care and support. My family couldn't have got through this time as well as we did without you.

Overall, very satisfied with the care provided for my aunt. There were some issues with hearing aids, dentures and spectacles, but generally the care was good. In particular, the staff were always caring and compassionate, and I never witnessed anything that concerned me on many visits. I would recommend
Chyvarhas.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.749) out of 10 for Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.749 for Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 291 Ratings = 4.749

  • 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 Chyvarhas Residential and Nursing Home is based on 25 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 25 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.

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 2019

I have worked for Cornwall Care for just over two years now. I came to Cornwall Care from a smaller organisation as I wanted to work for an organisation that was innovative and where I could work with talented people, and I have not been disappointed. Our team has worked tirelessly to improve the standards of care that Chyvarhas provides and I feel we now lead the way in the local area, encouraging good, person-centred care to the people we support. I am looking forward to continue our work at Chyvarhas.
