Questions families ask
How do they decide what type of care someone needs?
They carry out a full assessment to determine the type of care best suited to the individual.
What types of care does the home provide?
They provide nursing, residential and dementia care, with personalised care plans for residents.
Can residents keep their own GP?
Yes, if the GP is within the home's catchment area. Otherwise, the home can recommend suitable local surgeries.
Can residents bring personal items into their room?
Yes. Residents can bring soft furnishings, photographs and other personal items, provided they pass a fire safety risk assessment by the home staff.
What activities are available for residents?
Each home has at least one activities coordinator who tailors meaningful activities to residents' mental and physical abilities so everyone can take part.
How much does Hillcrest House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Hillcrest House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cornwall council paid on average £1,157 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
