About Menwinnion Country House
We are a residential care home near Penzance, offering a home to older people who need support with daily life. That includes people living with dementia, people with mental health needs and people with physical disabilities. We also take respite bookings, whether planned in advance so a family carer can have a break or arranged more quickly when somebody needs care for a while. This corner of Cornwall is a good place to grow older, and a great many of the people who live here have been in the county all their lives. We try to keep the home connected to that rather than sealed off from it, and we make it easy for families to come and go. The everyday things are what make a care home work. Whether somebody gets up when they want to. Whether staff know which chair is theirs and how they take their tea. Whether a person who becomes anxious as the afternoon wears on is met with patience rather than a brisk routine. Those depend on a team who know the residents properly, which is why we care so much about keeping our staff. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome and we would much rather you came and saw the place for yourself. Please contact us and we will arrange a visit at a time that suits you.
