About Culliford House
Person-centred residential care supports older people and those living with dementia, mental health needs or other individual care requirements at Culliford House. The home provides care without nursing and builds a personalised plan around each resident’s needs, preferences and choices.
Admissions include a pre-assessment and can involve a home visit or telephone assessment before a place is agreed. Residents can access an in-house hairdresser on Tuesdays, spa treatments on Wednesdays and visiting chiropody appointments. A Dignity Champion helps keep privacy, independence and personal voice central to everyday care.

How much does Culliford House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Culliford House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,254 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
