About The Crescent Residential Care Home

The Crescent Residential Care Home is a residential care home in Cornwall providing personal care and support for people with mental health needs. Details of the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

The Crescent is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 15 people with mental health needs. Located in an older building close to local shops and facilities, the premises are not suitable for people with reduced mobility. During the inspection, the home had 15 residents living there.

The home conducts regular environmental checks to maintain safety, though fire doors were found wedged open by a resident on the day of inspection to improve ventilation. Staff levels are generally sufficient to support people and respond to their needs, though the report notes variations at certain times.
