About Benoni Nursing Home
Benoni Nursing Home is in Penzance, and we care for adults who need registered nursing on hand at any hour. The people who live with us include older people whose health has become too complicated to manage at home, people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and younger adults with nursing needs. We also take respite admissions, whether that is a planned break for a family who has been caring at home or a settled place to recover after illness or a hospital stay. Good nursing is mostly made of unglamorous consistency. Skin looked after, pain believed and treated, food and drink offered in a way that suits the person, mobility encouraged, medication reviewed properly with GPs and community teams. When someone is approaching the end of their life, we talk with them and with their family early, so that what they want about comfort, place and company is known and followed rather than guessed at. Alongside that, this is a home. Meals are unhurried, days have a recognisable shape, and people choose company or quiet as they please. Being at the far end of Cornwall means families sometimes travel a long way to visit, so we do not hold people to set visiting hours. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are weighing up nursing care for somebody close to you, come and see the home on an ordinary day, meet the nurses on duty and ask us the questions that worry you most.
