CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Hollybush Residential Home is one of 198 care homes in Cornwall: a 14-bed residential care home in Newquay, run by Wicksmith Holdings Limited. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2025. 87% of homes in Cornwall also score 5. Across Cornwall, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In August 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from October 2019. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in Cornwall. Here is how rating age varies by council.
