Questions families ask
Can couples stay together in the same care home?
Yes. Couples can share one bedroom and use another as a sitting room, share a bedroom alone, or have separate bedrooms, subject to their individual care needs.
Can residents use a mobility scooter in the care home?
Mobility scooter use is assessed during the pre-admission assessment, and a decision is made about whether the home is suitable for the scooter.
What happens if a resident's care needs change?
Their care needs are regularly reviewed with the resident, GP, other health professionals and family members. If needs increase, the assessed weekly fee may be reviewed.
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Yes. Residents can bring photos, cherished possessions and furniture to make their room familiar. Electrical items must pass PAT testing, and furniture is subject to a fire risk assessment.
How much does Ponsandane cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ponsandane 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.
