Our family member has been at Barchester Kenwyn Care Home for nearly 2 years. The facilities and decor are akin to a 5-star hotel. The dining room and menu choices are first class and delicious in variety and taste. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. Above all the service and care from
the hugely dedicated care team for the residents is second to none. The compassion and dignity they exude with every interaction is wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble, every day they go above and beyond to ensure the residents every need is met. They do it with warmth, a smile and friendly conversation. They are nothing short of amazing. Special recognition needs to go to one in particular member of staff, she is an angel in every respect and has helped make our relative as happy as she is there.

On behalf of the manager and the team, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback. Providing high-quality, a warm, welcoming environment for our families is at the heart of everything we do. It is incredibly rewarding to know that our efforts make a difference.

Worked very closely with the head of unit, who quickly ascertained my mother's situation, needs and indeed, future needs. Additionally, my mother had been suffering from financial abuse and other safeguarding issues. The head of unit was able to ensure measures were put in place to protect my mother.
The environment, care, attention and dedication of the team have actually seen an overall improvement in my mother, who has become more engaging and doing the activities she enjoys. Further, I would like to commend the entire team who work under difficult and emotional situations and yet remain super pleasant and always with a smile, warm and friendly greetings. Thank you.

Reply from Becky Pinnock, General Manager at Barchester Kenwyn Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review for us. It is difficult to read of previous abuse but we are thankful that our head of unit was able to put the correct measures in place to keep her safe. It is heartwarming to read that your mum has improved overall, engaging and enjoying the activities. I will be sure to share your comments with the entire team. Thank you.

We realised very quickly that the residents are treated with care and compassion but most importantly, treated with dignity. The staff make the time to know the residents so are all treated as individuals and get to know their likes and dislikes, their history and family so that the resident feels like
they are with friends.
Memory lane is secure, so, as family, we know Mum is not able to wander off. Food is excellent, activities are every day and varied and looking out into the gardens gives a lot of pleasure.

Reply from Becky Pinnock, General Manager at Barchester Kenwyn Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review and to feedback on your lovely comments.

Mum, who has dementia, has been at Kenwyn for a couple of years now. The staff work tirelessly to care for all the residents and meet their individual needs. I am always met with a smile and I find they listen to suggestions and act on them when they can. I have been kept well informed of any changes
in mum's health and my consent is always asked for when changes are needed. The staff are continually looking for ways to engage with the residents and keep them as happy as possible.

I approached the home to enquire about a two-week respite stay, post-operative convalescence and care, for my mother-in-law. From start to finish, we were all treated with care, compassion and dignity. My mother-in-law was very well cared for and even said she would come back again - this is a real

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Barchester Kenwyn Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.847 for Barchester Kenwyn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (252 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 Barchester Kenwyn Care 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 109 registered maximum number of service users is 21.8, 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.
