About Nursing Centre

Torpoint Nursing Centre is in Cornwall. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily life, for residents living with dementia, for people living with mental health conditions and for people whose physical disability requires skilled support. We also care for some younger adults. Having nurses on duty at every hour means we can manage wound and pressure care, continence and catheter needs, diabetes, pain relief and end of life care, working closely with GPs, district nurses and hospital teams. It also means somebody whose health declines can usually stay here, among familiar faces, rather than being moved at the hardest possible moment. For residents living with dementia we keep surroundings calm, routines predictable and staff consistent, and we give people time to find their words. For people living with mental health conditions, consistency and staff who stay steady count for a great deal. Respite stays are available, including nursing support after a hospital discharge. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Cornwall are welcome to visit.
