About Malvern House

Malvern House is a nursing home in Saltash. We care for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also take respite bookings. Having nurses on site changes what can be managed here. Wound care, catheters, complicated medication and health that shifts from one day to the next are handled in the home rather than through repeated journeys to hospital, which in this part of Cornwall are neither short nor easy. The nursing is only half of the job. People here choose how their day runs, keep their own belongings around them, eat food they actually want and see their families whenever they like. Being nursed should not mean being managed, and we work at keeping ordinary life going alongside the treatment. We talk plainly with relatives, especially when health is changing. An honest conversation held early is far kinder than a confusing one held late, and we would rather ring you than wait for you to ring us. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking at nursing or respite care in this part of Cornwall, please get in touch and come and see the home.
