About Cornwallis Care Services Ltd
Cornwallis Care Services Ltd started life as a family run business in 1989 and is now one of the largest care providers in Cornwall. We support and care for over 300 people in our residential and nursing homes across the county. From Looe to Penzance, we have a total of 10 care homes and even our own inhouse agency.
Cornwallis Care Services offer long and short-term accommodation and respite care for adults aged 65 plus; many of our residents are living with dementia or other cognitive impairments, some of whom may have complex health needs. Through person centred care we can empower the residents and their loved ones to actively participate in the care, treatment, and daily activities that they receive or partake in.
Here at Cornwallis, we celebrate and acknowledge acts of kindness and we call these ‘Making Moments Matter’. Why not take a look at our website and Facebook page to see more of how we celebrate staff and residents’ moments that matter across our care homes.
Cornwallis Xtra Agency was born in 2018 with the desire to maintain continuity with high quality carers, while providing our residents with the reassurance of a familiar face. This allows us to accommodate staff members wanting more flexibility and a work life balance.
“We want to shout out loud, that our care workers are skilled professionals, who are there day in and day out, in the snow, pouring rain and scorching sun, at night, at Christmas and during the COVID-19 pandemic and we are very PROUD of them all”, says Managing Director, Stuart Clarkson. “People go into the care profession because they care; want to look after people; and because making other people happy is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.
If you’re a people person, who has compassion and empathy, with the want to improve the lives of others, be that big or small, we would love to hear from you. Whether you have previous experience or not we have a friendly team who will support, train and mentor you into a career in care that you can truly be proud of.
