About Pendeen
Pendeen Community Care Ltd is a family run domiciliary care company serving the Camborne and Redruth area. We have been providing care and support to people in their own homes for over 25 years. We pride ourselves on our low turnover and strong retention at Pendeen. Most of our carers have been with us for several years and have developed their careers with us. We aim to look after our staff in a similar way to looking after our clients and they benefit from the things you would expect from a care company. As a small company we can be more flexible in terms of hours and shift and as we only work in the local area, you will not have to drive long distances between clients.
