The home changed owner in February 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?

Pengover Residential and Nursing Home is one of 198 care homes in Cornwall: a 40-bed nursing home in Liskeard, run by Sanctuary Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Cornwall are smaller: the median there is 22 beds.
Its CQC rating, from March 2020, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Cornwall, 32% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from November 2025.

None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. The home changed owner in February 2024.
