About Garden House

We at Garden House offer residential care in the historic market town of Launceston, providing a warm and welcoming home for adults with a wide range of care needs across Cornwall. Nestled within the PL postcode area, our setting benefits from the peaceful character of one of Cornwall's most charming towns. Launceston offers a gentle pace of life, with its castle, cobbled streets, and rolling countryside nearby, creating a calming backdrop for the people who live with us. Our home is designed to feel just that, a home, where familiarity, comfort, and a sense of belonging are woven into daily life. Our care is thoughtfully tailored to each resident. Alongside residential care, we support people living with dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairment. This breadth of specialism means we are experienced in adapting our approach to suit the person in front of us, whether that involves creating calm routines for someone living with dementia, supporting independence for a resident with a learning disability, or offering sensitive communication for those with sensory impairments. We also welcome guests for respite care, giving family carers the reassurance of a short break knowing their loved one is in kind and capable hands. In practice, this means residents are supported by a team who take time to understand each person's history, preferences, and aspirations. Families are encouraged to stay closely involved, and we work in partnership to make sure the care provided reflects what truly matters to the individual. The Care Quality Commission has rated Garden House as Good overall, with Good ratings across Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive. The Well led domain was rated Requires Improvement at the most recent inspection, and this transparency is important to us as we continue to reflect, listen, and strengthen the way our home is run for the benefit of everyone who lives and works here. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that journey. If you are exploring options for a loved one in Launceston or the wider Cornwall area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and discover whether Garden House could be the right place to call home.
