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. ?
Rowans Residential Care Home is one of 198 care homes in Cornwall: a 9-bed residential care home in St Agnes, run by Mr & Mrs I J Hirsch. It is registered to care for older people. 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 2023. That matches its previous rating, from March 2018.
Across Cornwall, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in January 2026. That is true of 87% of homes in Cornwall. About 2.6 km away, Montrose Barn is rated Outstanding.
