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. ?
Lowenac is one of 198 care homes in Cornwall: a 2-bed residential care home in Camborne, run by Green Light PBS Limited. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Cornwall, where the typical home has 22 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2019. Its rating before that, in September 2016, was the same. 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).
It is one of 18 homes run by Green Light PBS Limited. 18 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2016. That is true of 87% of homes in Cornwall. Across Cornwall, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
