About Polventon Residential Care Home
Polventon Residential Care Home provides residential care and day care for older people in the Helston and Lizard communities. The home has room for 19 residents and offers personalised support for people with physical needs or dementia, alongside activities designed around individual interests. Families can use day care as daytime support or as a gradual introduction before considering full-time residential care.
The service includes a free, no-obligation trial day, allowing a prospective resident to spend time at the home before deciding. Polventon also provides an adapted wheelchair-accessible car and transport where required. Its activity programme can include memory games, carpet bowls, music and community entertainment, while meals are freshly cooked with locally sourced ingredients.

How much does Polventon Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Polventon Residential Care Home 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.
