a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5.

1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.

My family can't praise the home enough. They deal with my father's needs extremely well. The carers are sympathetic, caring and kind. The food is good and the residents are entertained and kept active. It's a wonderful, wonderful place!

Everything about Culwood House Residential Care Home for the Elderly from the caring staff, to the beautifully kept rooms, the delicious home cooked food, the Easter egg hunt and the respect when my mother has been shown could not be improved upon it. It truly is a home from home and I visited many before coming across Culwood House Residential Care Home for the Elderly. I would not let my mother stay anywhere else!

Thank you very much for your very kind review Camilla. We miss looking after your Mum. She was a lovely lady.

My mother has been a resident at Culwood House for 2 and a half years. She has good mental capacity but suffers from osteoporosis and needs a lot of physical support. The care and affection she receives is outstanding.
I have recommended Culwood House to friends who now have parents living there too!
The standard of upkeep and maintenance of the home is excellent. I am made to feel so welcome there too, and I actually often try to put my own house key in the front door!

My mum moved into Culwood in Feb 2016. It has been an extremely positive experience. The care she has received has been kind, thoughtful, with attention to detail. All queries etc are followed up and attended to in a timely fashion. The food is delicious and tastes of home-cooking (I've had several meals there). Activities are regularly organised and displayed on the website which is very helpful. I really can't fault this home and I feel very fortunate that mum is living there and being so well looked after.
