About
Parc Vro Residential Home opened in 1979 as a family-run residential home with 15 registered beds, in the village of Mawgan-in-Meneage near Helston, Cornwall. The granite house overlooks open countryside. It supports older people to keep living as independently as possible, with care tailored to each resident's abilities, and welcomes applicants with a wide range of needs.
The home lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Gweek Seal Sanctuary, Goonhilly Earth Station and the Helford River are all nearby. A bus stops opposite the house for services into Helston, and local taxis that accommodate wheelchairs are available. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2025 report, with all five key questions also rated Good.
