Review from Paul E (Son of Resident) published on 7 February 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother stayed in Culliford House for 6 weeks following a leg fracture.
Throughout that time, the staff took very good care of her: they were attentive, friendly and considerate and the food was very good.
The building is a Victorian(?) house, so some of the layouts can be a challenge and higher floors are elevator-dependent, however, the rooms are all a very good size.
There were regular social activities that go on with the residents but there was no undue pressure to participate.
For those that need to visit, the location is very convenient: very close to the library and supermarket, with plentiful parking options.

If a similar situation arose in the future, I would not hesitate to call them.
