Firefighters had to force their way into a Laburnum Close home on Sunday after a report that a person had collapsed.
The crew from Falmouth attended the home just after 11.30am on the request of the Ambulance service.
A fire and rescue service spokesman said bolt croppers were used to gain access to a patient who had collapsed behind a door.
The person was left in the care of ambulance staff.
