CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Penhellis Nursing Home is a 26-bed nursing home in Helston, Cornwall, run by Glencare Homes Ltd. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2023. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2018.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Cornwall, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from February 2026. That is true of 87% of homes in Cornwall.
