About Kenwyn
Kenwyn is a nursing home in Truro, Cornwall. We care for older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing, including many living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are part of what we do. Because nursing is provided here, nobody reaches a point of being too unwell to stay. In Cornwall that matters particularly, since a move can mean leaving the place and the people somebody has known all their life. Where mental ill health and physical health needs come together, the combination is often handled badly. Physical symptoms get attributed to a psychiatric diagnosis rather than investigated, and having nursing knowledge here means somebody is looking for the physical cause rather than assuming. We also work at keeping the place domestic rather than clinical. Once ward habits take hold, residents stop being asked about their own afternoons, so mealtimes, fresh air and unhurried help are protected on purpose. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ask us who is on tonight and whether they know the people they are looking after.
