Live-in care and home care in Penzance
The Cornish seaside town of Penzance found itself thrust into the limelight in 1879 when Gilbert and Sullivan used it as the home for the titular characters in their world-famous opera, The Pirates of Penzance. Penzance had a reputation as being a peaceful seaside resort town, so the amusing irony of pirates coming from the area was not lost on the locals.
At Helping Hands, we’re doing our utmost to ensure our customers are able to enjoy life the way they want it – whether they’re used to being as swashbuckling as possible or prefer to enjoy the peacefulness of Penzance and the surrounding area.
