Cornwall hospice care provides the people of Cornwall who have life limiting illnesses with the highest quality of care to alleviate pain and distressing symptoms, and offers practical, emotional and spiritual support to them, their families and their carers. We operate 2 hospices, Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell (16 beds), and St Julia's in Hayle (8 beds). Our service is free of charge to the patient. However, our charity status means that we rely heavily on financial and voluntary support from the general public.
