About St George's Hotel

St George's is a residential care home in Truro, Cornwall, caring for older people. Alongside permanent places we offer respite stays for people who need care for a shorter period, whether that is recovering after a spell in hospital or giving a family carer a proper break. We try to keep the running of the house close to ordinary life. People get up when they want to rather than when a rota says so, choose how they spend the day and keep hold of the routines they have always had. Some residents want company, conversation and something happening. Others want a quiet room, the paper and a cup of tea in peace. Both are perfectly good ways to spend an afternoon and we would rather follow the person than a timetable. Truro is where most of our residents have their family, their friends and their appointments, and we help them keep all of that going. Moving into a care home should not mean giving up the life you already have. We should be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accept that finding and are working through the areas it identified. We would encourage anyone considering us to visit, ask about the rating directly and judge the home on what they find here.
