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. ?
Kenwyn is one of 198 care homes in Cornwall: a 102-bed nursing home in Truro, run by Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Cornwall has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its CQC rating, from June 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in September 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in Cornwall are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2026. That is true of 87% of homes in Cornwall. Across Cornwall, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 175 of Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited’s 198 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
