St. Breock is a purpose built care home set within lovely grounds close to Wadebridge town centre. Local amenities including doctors surgeries, shops, banks, library and churches are in close proximity. Here at St Breock you will find a warm welcome with friendly staff in a homely environment to cater for your every need. We have 36 rooms 12 of which have en-suite facilities which could accommodate couples. Residents are encouraged to bring some of their own personal belongings to make them feel more at home. We have at present a very old cat called Tiggy and we have regular visits from the petting service. We also encourage staff and visitors to bring in their well behaved pets as most of the residents enjoy having them around. It is possible depending on the nature and type of pet for residents to bring them with them when they come to stay. There are 3 lounges, a sun room, large dining room and conservatory which leads on to gardens, an area for relaxing with family and visitors in the sunshine. There is a small well stocked shop, and we can arrange to take residents into the town to use local facilities if they wish to. Mealtimes are an important part of the day and we offer a choice of menu with special diets catered for. This all happens in a relaxed and flexible manner and meals can be obtained at times to suit. Families may stay and have a meal with their relative for which there is a small charge. Meals are made where possible using fresh locally produced products. The chef is happy to discuss any requirements residents have and will try to accommodate this.

Our staff are very well trained and most have completed their NVQ level 2 and Dementia stages 1 and 2. Within Cornwall Care we take pride in the way staff are trained and updated on a regular basis. We even won a National Training Award in 2005. Our staff create an active caring environment where everyone is an individual. Residents are encouraged to join in with a range of activities both in and out of the home, we also have bands, choirs, musicians and singers who come in to entertain. We have Bingo and Card Games that visitors can join in with. Other professionals involved with the home are doctors, nurses, dentists, chiropodists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and hairdresser. Residents can obtain a daily newspaper and magazines. We understand the cost of care can be a concern to individuals and we want to do a good job in looking after you with well trained staff. Calculation of fees is based on an assessment of individuals needs, this is reviewed on a regular basis.
