About Breage House
Breage House provides residential and dementia care for people over 18, with a specialist setting for individuals whose needs include learning disabilities, physical disabilities or mental health support.

Families can visit at any time during the day and residents may personalise rooms with photographs and possessions. Breage House provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite care through a Cornwall-based care provider.

Questions families ask
Can care be self-funded or funded by an authority?
Yes. They provide care for people who self-fund and for those receiving Local Authority or Health Authority funding. The payment route depends on each person’s financial circumstances.
Can couples live together in the home?
Yes. Couples can share one bedroom and use another as a sitting room, share a bedroom on its own, or have separate bedrooms. The arrangement depends on their individual care needs.
What happens if care needs increase after moving in?
They regularly review each resident’s care needs with the resident, GP, other health professionals and family members. If needs increase, they may review the assessed weekly fee to maintain the required care level.
Can residents bring their own furniture?
Yes. Residents are encouraged to bring photographs and cherished possessions to personalise their room. Electrical items must pass PAT testing, and furniture is subject to fire risk assessments.
Can residents use a mobility scooter in the home?
They assess mobility scooter use during the pre-admission assessment. A decision is then made about whether the home is suitable for the scooter.
How much does Breage House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Breage House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cornwall council paid on average £1,062 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
