About St Teresa's - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities
St Teresa's provides nursing care and residential support for disabled people, including those with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and complex care needs. It forms part of Leonard Cheshire, which offers residential care, nursing homes and supported living services. Specialist support to disabled people is linked to the organisation’s wider aim of helping people live, learn and work as independently as they choose.
The home is relevant to people seeking a care setting with nursing provision and a disability-focused organisation behind it. Leonard Cheshire’s services include care and accommodation, supported living, daytime centres and respite care, although the local scope should be considered separately from the wider group offer. St Teresa’s is therefore most suitable for families exploring nursing accommodation where disability support is central to the decision.

Questions families ask
How much does St Teresa's - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Teresa's - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask St Teresa's - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities whether it takes residents funded by Cornwall council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
