Questions families ask
What needs can Garden House support?
The service supports people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, dementia, sensory impairments, mental health needs and nursing care.
Is the care tailored to each resident?
Yes. The Park provides individualised, person-centred care and support designed to meet each person’s needs.
Do they offer activities accessible to people with different abilities?

How much does Garden House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Garden 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.
