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. ?
The Elms Care Centre is a 37-bed nursing home in Saltash, Cornwall. The home is its own registered provider. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. Most homes in Cornwall are smaller: the median there is 22 beds.
In Cornwall, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. 87% of homes in Cornwall also score 5. About 0.9 km away, St Anne's - Saltash is rated Outstanding.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2019. Its rating before that, in May 2017, was the same. 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.
