About Penmount Grange
Penmount Grange is a residential care home in Bodmin, Cornwall. We provide a settled home for older people, and we also support adults with learning disabilities and autism and adults with physical disabilities. Many of the people who live here are living with dementia. Our approach rests on patience and familiarity. The day has a shape without being run to a timetable, surroundings stay recognisable, and we avoid changing things without good reason. We take time early on to learn about somebody's life, work, family and habits, asking relatives for the small details as well as the medical ones, because those are usually what helps most on a difficult afternoon. Because the people here have different needs, we adapt rather than expecting everyone to fit one routine. For residents with a learning disability or autism, that means paying attention to sensory needs and to how much notice somebody wants before anything changes. For residents with physical disabilities it usually means the right equipment, enough time, and careful attention to what a person can still do independently. Respite stays are available as well, for family carers needing a planned break and for people needing support after illness or a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit us and see the home as it is on an ordinary day.
