About Kilmar House
A very small, family-run residential care home for people over 65, Kilmar House occupies a Grade II listed house on the outskirts of Liskeard. The building was originally a private residence and retains a domestic character rather than the scale of a large institutional setting.
Kilmar House is registered for older people and presents warm, friendly surroundings in South East Cornwall. Its historic setting and small scale are practical features for families comparing residential care. The home’s website also identifies it as the smallest home in Liskeard registered for people over 65.

How much does Kilmar House cost?

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.
