About Blackwood Residential Care Home
Blackwood Residential Care Home is in Camborne, Cornwall, and we support a broader group of people than many residential homes take on. Older people who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia. Adults living with mental ill health. People with physical disabilities. Younger adults. We also offer respite stays, planned or at short notice. A mixed household only works if people are treated as individuals rather than as categories, and that is genuinely how we try to run the place. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as things move. Some residents need a great deal of hands on help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want stability, someone to talk to and a household that does not come apart when a hard week arrives. Dementia care runs through much of our work. We keep the daily rhythm steady, give people time instead of hurrying them, and learn about earlier life so that we understand what is behind a worry or a repeated question. We would rather be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have gone through what was raised and those areas are our focus at present, and we are glad to discuss the detail with anyone weighing us up. Do come and see the place on an ordinary day.
