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. ?
Porthgwara Nursing Home is a 15-bed nursing home in Helston, Cornwall. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in March 2018. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. CQC rated safe and effective as Good. That is up from Good in September 2015. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 32% of homes in Cornwall. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2026. That is true of 87% of homes in Cornwall. In Cornwall, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
