About Culm Valley Care Centre

Culm Valley Care Centre provides nursing care in Cullompton for older people across this part of Devon, including adults with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays. Registered nurses are on duty at every hour of the day and night. In practice that means medicines, wounds, continence, pressure care and the early signs of infection are dealt with here by staff who already know the resident, rather than through a long wait and a disorientating trip to hospital. Families tell us the reassurance of that is hard to overstate, and we think they are right to weigh it heavily. For residents with physical disabilities, dependability is what counts most. Equipment used correctly by everybody rather than by some, transfers done the same careful way every time, and a building somebody can actually move around in. Those are matters of training and consistency rather than good intentions. We also believe a nursing home should be somewhere worth living and not merely somewhere safe. A resident can be perfectly well cared for and still have nothing in the day to look forward to, and we treat that as a shortcoming to be put right. Respite care is available after illness or surgery and for family carers who need a genuine break. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and look round at an ordinary time of day and ask us whatever you need to.
