My husband received the best care throughout his time at Hulcott Nursing Home. Staff have treated him and myself fantastically and I can not fault any of them. I can definitely recommend this care home to anyone who needs the love and care we experienced.

My old friend has been at Hulcott for 5 months. She has blossomed with having all the lovely staff around. The activities she had been encouraged to get involved in have been brilliant for her mental health.
She looks healthy as now she gets good food and plenty of it. She now says Hulcott is home
now which is lovely to hear.

Our first visit to our friend who is here.
We were greeted by wonderful, helpful staff and we met the chef, who was very sociable.
Our friend was warm and comfortable and it was evident that he was well cared for and the staff were very kind and attentive.

My aunt has been a resident for some months now and is physically so frail she cannot move from the bed. The staff have been very friendly and patient, coping with varying moods and managing her failing physical health and memory, and working to meet her rather limited food preferences. The activities
organiser has done her best to make her feel included, visiting her room and organising birthday celebrations, which my aunt really appreciated.
The manager and the weekly GP are very approachable and the receptionists easily available and helpful. Optician, dentist and audiologist visits have also been arranged.
Having a second relative now also end of life but still at home, it is a relief to know that my aunt is safe and well cared for in a homely environment, day and night, with nurses on hand when required. I feel happy that my aunt will end her life here, and not in hospital.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My sons and I are very pleased with the care and attention given to my wife during the 14 months that she has been at Hulcott. She arrived for assessment after being in hospital suffering from delirium in addition to dementia, and now her general health, apart from dementia, is very good thanks to the
excellent care given at Hulcott.
The nurses always respond quickly to any medical matters that we raise and the care assistants treat her with respect.
A GP visits weekly and sees every resident monthly and in between when required, as assessed by the nurses.
The daily activities are varied and brilliantly run by the wellbeing coordinator.
We are very impressed with the hand-held recorders, used by the care assistants and nurses, where all aspects of care, and food and drink intake are recorded electronically, far superior to a paper-based or centrally-based system.

It is always difficult for a resident to leave their own home to move, however, the team at Hulcott Nursing Home has been excellent in making the move as easy as possible. This was seen especially as it was her birthday and the effort the team went to, to make it special was very much appreciated.
There
are always things to improve in any business but the team at the home are always open to listening and taking the appropriate actions. Well done all!

Mum had a wonderful 2-week respite while I went on holiday. The care, kindness and attention have been wonderful. The activities have been fantastic, Mum joined in with encouragement and never thought she would. The food was delicious. Everyone was so very caring, and happy and nothing was too much
trouble. She will be back again.

I originally came here for two weeks respite but got pneumonia so I have stayed longer. The whole atmosphere has been instantly friendly and everyone is very kind. I have a delightful room and I'm very comfortable. The food is as good as any first class hotel. The dining room and lounge are comfortable
and there is a lot of entertainment for those who want it. I am very happy here and feel privileged to be in such a lovely and well-ordered place.

Thank you to everyone involved in looking after my Mum so well. I know she is comfortable, content and happy. She loves the view into the garden and field where she is currently watching the lambs and sheep, the massive pheasants, squirrels and birds. She enjoys the food and all the staff are friendly
and very caring. It’s a shame she doesn’t want to be involved in the activities as I know a lot of effort is made for the residents.
Thank you as well for supporting me and guiding me through everything. Very much appreciated.

Mum is not able to participate in many of the activities, her choice mainly, so she has a quiet existence at the home. But that existence is safe and secure, she is wonderfully looked after, cared for and loved. To be able to leave the care of Mum in the hands of such wonderful staff is such a great
relief to my sister and I.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.664)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.664) out of 10 for Hulcott Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.664 for Hulcott Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.664

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hulcott Nursing Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
