About
Eshcol House Nursing Home is a family-run home in Cornwall with 31 registered beds. It provides nursing and dementia care and supports older people, younger adults under 65, people with physical disabilities and people with mental health needs. The Ahmad family has owned the home since 2011, and its approach is person-centred, with residents cared for as the staff would care for their own relatives.
The home sits in countryside overlooking the Cornish peninsula, with views across Gerrans Bay and a mild, sea-air climate. Care is tailored to each resident through close attention to detail. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2023 report, and gave Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
