Allowing Loved Ones to Spend Their Twilight Years in Comfort
Liskeard Eventide Home Ltd, formerly Castle Villa, is a stand-alone, nonprofit care home that has been serving the people of Liskeard since 1952. Our home was originally a three-bedroomed house. It was bought by the people of Liskeard who wanted a lasting memorial for those who lost their lives in the wars. Through a public subscription, the house was procured to accommodate war widows and people of limited means.
A group of trustees was appointed to financially protect the home and ensure its existence. There were no staff employed, the house was only furnished by donations and the residents cooked and cleaned for themselves.
As years passed by, extensions have been built as legacies have been received. Liskeard Eventide Home Ltd is now a 26-bedroomed residential home and is funded only by fees and occasional donations. The trustees are still volunteers, our well-trained staff are paid above the average rate and the home is beautifully furnished.
It seems fitting that we were rated ‘Outstanding in Care’ by the Care Quality Commission in our Sapphire anniversary year. After more than 65 years in service, we earned recognition for providing high-quality care, as well as for being well-led and responsive. We achieved a ‘Good’ rating in the Safe and Effective category.
