Yes. Their 24-hour nursing is available for long-term, short-term and convalescent stays, as well as day care.
How much does Porthgwara Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Porthgwara Nursing Home 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.
