Culverdale provides supported accommodation for adults with mental health difficulties who require less support than our care home. The combination of a dedicated staff team, beautiful setting and the great facilities and opportunities mean that our residents thrive here with the vast majority eventually moving into independent accommodation.
Culverdale is a modern light home containing 22 bedsits and flats all with their own ensuite bathroom and usually sharing a kitchen with up to three others. There is also a laundry room, two communal lounges and large well kept gardens.
We encourage our residents to use outside resources, seek employment and take up hobbies or education courses. We also arrange social events such as barbecues and trips to interesting local places. Groups within Culverdale encourage interaction and independence.
Support is tailored to each individual’s needs and the support team are available every weekday. Each resident has their own dedicated staff member to help build recovery.
