  • Pengover Residential and Nursing Home, Liskeard
With a devoted manager who has been with the home for over 20 years, and a deputy manager of over 15 years, Pengover is highly respected in the local community.

With just 36 bedrooms, the home has four wings, each with its own cosy lounge, where residents can relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time and often enjoy taking part in activities with the residents. From animal therapy sessions and baking, to live entertainment from singers and musicians, there’s so much to do.

Outside there are extensive gardens surrounding the home, with wheelchair friendly pathways. Many of the bedrooms have garden views. The back garden is completely enclosed and features planters and raised beds. There is also a vegetable patch where residents enjoy growing their own produce, harvesting it for the chef to use in the kitchen. The team is also planning on creating a mini allotment area ready for the summer.

The local community is embraced into life in the home, including local college students who take part in intergenerational activities. The home also has a ‘Mobii’, where residents can play interactive light games which are projected onto the floor.

There is a spacious central dining room, where the residents enjoy delicious home-cooked meals together, prepared by the home’s chef. From roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays and home-baking for afternoon tea.

The home also has a hairdressing salon, for regular appointments with a mobile hairdresser who visits weekly. The residents also enjoy pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages.

Providing residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care, the team at Pengover also offers respite care breaks. These are ideal for family carers who would like to take a break of their own, with the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

Our mother has many medical needs and she has been well cared for by medical support staff except on one occasion when a bank nurse on night shift refused to contact me when my mother wanted me with her when she was feeling ill. We were both very upset about this and hope it never happens again. We
all enjoyed the Queen's Birthday lunch and appreciate the staff hard work in putting it on.

My mother in law was admitted to Pengover House in August last year and was there until her death last month. The manager and her team of staff have been an absolute rock through all the good times and most recently the bad times. We as a family hold the staff and the quality of the work they do in
very high esteem. They are local people and the pride in their work is faultless.
They have supported us as a family before, during and after the death of mother in law in the same humble way that they go about their work. We feel very privileged to have known such a welcoming group of individuals with true values for people's lives, no matter what age or what their ailments are.
Never once did I have a complaint, if I asked for anything then it was soon dealt with. We cannot praise this home enough.

I would just like to thank the staff for the reception they gave visiting family members and their attention to ensuring that we could enjoy and make the most of our time with Mum on her birthday. Considering the changes that we have all gone through in the last year, not least Mum, it was just great
that we could relax and share quality time together on her special day.

We have found the care given to my mother-in-law is second to none. The patience and kindness given to her has been excellent in every way. The fact that she has had a lot of change giving up her home and she has had medical conditions her temperament is not always easy but the patience of the staff
right along the board has been exceptional

I have been visiting Pengover House for many years taking a short service of Holy Communion. In my last visit I found the staff helpful, courteous and they also showed helpful, kind care to the residents promptly meeting needs i.e. toilet requests! They are redecorating the main dining area at present
but the workmen kept the disturbance to a minimum and gave the residents a new interest! The general atmosphere and ambience is good and the place clean and comfortable. The staff are helpful and give much individual care to residents as needed. I would be happy to be a resident there!

Could not have wished for a better care home, all expectations have been met. The staff have been extremely helpful in every way possible. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, their willingness to help is to be admired, every patient/client is treated with the same respect as anyone else.
It
is a care home that really cares.

Dad was admitted to Pengover straight from hospital as there was a bed available there at the time. We live in Par (17 miles and around half an hour drive away) and although various healthcare professionals, from other agencies we met over the first few weeks were concerned of the travel time for us,
we would not dream of dad being looked after anywhere else. Myself and mum had visited a local care home just before dad was due to be discharged from hospital and refused to let him go there. We hadn't heard of Pengover House before as it isn't local to us. Boy, did we get the 1st prize!


Anyone that knows me will understand that to sing praises like I do for Pengover must mean that it is particularly special.


The staff, without exception, are very friendly towards both residents and their visitors. Residents are looked after with care, dignity and patience and staff keep a careful eye on them to ensure that they are fed, watered and receive medical attention when needed (all very well documented). On my last visit one member of the care team said that she was on duty when one of the residents was in his last hours of life. She said "I couldn't just go home, I wanted to sit with him until the end". This is really going the extra mile and illustrates the level of care and compassion given by these special people.


If you are considering placing a member of your family here...don't hesitate, just do it and you will be very pleased you did.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.547)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.547) out of 10 for Pengover Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.547 for Pengover Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.547

  • 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 Pengover Residential and Nursing Home is based on 12 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 12 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.

Amy Lucas

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 2002

I started my journey in 2002 working for Cornwall Care and Pengover as a care assistant then progressing to senior care assistant after completing my degree in Psychology.


As I grew into my role an opportunity to become a Deputy Manager came up and I was fortunate to apply and was successful. I worked closely with the Manager, learning more skills to ensure that Pengover, the clients, staff and family members felt valued and respected.


I remained in the role of Deputy for five years, during this time I completed my Operations Departmental Management CMI level 5. This opportunity gave me insight not only into myself but also into Management style and leadership styles.


In 2022 I applied for and was successful in the role of registered Manager. I continue to learn, I feel that learning and evolving are never-ending.


I am passionate about Pengover, the clients we care for, the staff we support and the families that visit their loved ones.


I believe that Pengover is a home, not only for the clients we care for but also for
staff, family members and visitors.
