About Dimensions Somerset Pendean Court
Dimensions Somerset Pendean Court is a residential care home in Liskeard, Cornwall, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, including older adults. We also offer respite stays for people who need support for a shorter period or whose regular carer needs a break. The people who live here are adults with their own preferences and plans, and we support those rather than manage them. Residents decide how their days go, what they eat, how their rooms look and what they want to work towards. For some that means building skills around cooking, money or getting out independently. For others it means familiar, steady support so that life stays comfortable. Support plans are written with each person, using whatever way of communicating suits them best. We should be open about our last inspection. The Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute the findings. We accepted them, put an improvement plan in place and are working through it, with closer oversight of the areas the inspectors raised. We would rather tell you this ourselves and let you see what has changed. We work alongside community learning disability teams and local health services, and families and advocates are genuinely welcome and closely involved. If you are considering the home, please come and look round and ask us the difficult questions. We will answer them honestly.
