About Kingston House
Here at Kingston House, we are a residential care home based in Liskeard, Cornwall, and we support a wide range of people including younger adults living with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or additional support during particular periods in their life. We know that choosing a care home is never a straightforward decision, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our aim is for everyone who lives or stays with us to feel genuinely at home, where their routines, preferences and individuality are respected rather than fitted around a one size fits all approach. We work closely with residents, their families and their support networks to make sure the care we provide actually reflects what each person needs day to day. Our most recent CQC inspection rated us as requiring improvement, and we want to be honest about that. We have taken the findings seriously and are actively working through the areas identified, making practical changes to how we operate. We believe that being open about where we are in that process matters, and we are committed to demonstrating real progress rather than simply talking about it. Liskeard is a welcoming market town and we think our location is genuinely one of our strengths. Residents have access to local shops, green spaces and community life, and we encourage people to stay connected to the world around them in whatever way suits them best. If you would like to find out more about Kingston House or come and have a look around, we would be very happy to hear from you. We would much rather you visited and asked us questions in person than made a decision based on words alone.
