CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Culm Valley Care Centre is a 63-bed nursing home in Cullompton, Devon, run by Ashdown Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Devon, where the typical home has 25 beds.
3 of Ashdown Care Limited’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 188 other homes in Devon share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2026. 86% of homes in Devon also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from January 2020, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in June 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 51% of homes in Devon. Here is how rating age varies by council.
