Questions families ask
Does The Downes provide transport for residents?

What activities are available at The Downes?
They provide leisure and recreational activities suited to residents' individual interests and abilities, with events and outside activities arranged regularly.
How much does The Downes Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Downes 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.
