A little about Culcheth House

Culcheth House is a 5 bedroomed detached house, adapted to suit the accommodation of five young people of mixed gender, between the ages of 8 and 18 years. The accommodation is decorated to a high standard and is conducive to providing a friendly and homely atmosphere. The home is split into the main body of the house, which will accommodate four young people, plus a self-contained annex which is attached to the home. This can be utilised for a young person to move towards semi-independent living as they get older and are ready for a transition from the care setting.

Of course we recognise the importance and need for both companionship and privacy and we have one large communal lounge which is comfortable and equipped with a Television, a DVD player and a games console, there are also a small reading library (continuously added to) with books and board games on offer. The home has a dining area where the young people can benefit from the family experiences that are had when sharing a meal at the end of the day or the start too.
