About St Teresa's - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities
Here at St Teresa's in Penzance, Cornwall, we are a nursing home that provides care and support for people with a wide range of needs. Our team works with older people, younger adults, and individuals living with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and autism, offering both nursing care and everyday personal support in a place that genuinely feels like home. We know that choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone walks through our door, whether as a prospective resident, a family member, or a professional making a referral, we aim to make the experience feel straightforward and reassuring. We take time to understand each person as an individual, not just their care needs, but their history, their preferences, and what makes their day feel good. Our nursing team works closely with residents, families and visiting healthcare professionals to make sure that care plans reflect real lives and real wishes. We believe that high quality nursing care and a warm, homely atmosphere are not mutually exclusive, and we work hard every day to get that balance right. We are proud that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good across the board. That matters to us, not as a badge to wave around, but as a reflection of the consistent effort our team puts in. We are always looking at where we can do better and we welcome honest feedback from residents and families as part of that.
