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.

Hulcott gave the best care to my mum. I couldn't have asked for more. All staff were excellent, friendly, kind and compassionate, and we were always on hand to answer any questions. In the short time she was there, I was very happy with the care she received.

Words cannot express the deep thanks and gratitude I have for all the staff at Hulcott Nursing Home. From the time my lovely auntie arrived at the home she received the most amazing care, compassion and support, this was also extended to me and I will be ever grateful for the kindness I received. As
my auntie approached end of life the staff went the extra mile to make her comfortable, which she was and ensured the end was peaceful and calm. I thank the staff for bringing me loads of tea at 5am and the occasional cuddle! Thank you to all the angels at Hulcott.

Reply from Home Manager at Hulcott Nursing Home

We will be sure to pass your kind words on to our staff.

My mother was placed in the care of Hulcott Nursing Home by the healthcare trust. You hear horror stories of some homes - definitely not the care with Hulcott Nursing Home! The staff are brilliant angels. Mum was looked after so well and while she has now passed away, the whole experience was an uplifting
one thanks to the awesome staff. Thank you.

Mum was discharged by the NHS to Hulcott Nursing Home. Staff have got to know her well and she has made friends here too. She is now much happier and less anxious. Sadly, the home is an hour's drive from us and we are now able to move her closer. She will be sad to leave.

My sister stayed at Hulcott Nursing Home for 11 days prior to her death. She received wonderful care, compassionate and kind.
The help given to me was incredible. I will never forget the kindness shown to me before and after my sister's death, everyone going out of their way to assist in any way required.
The nursing is of a high standard at Hulcott Nursing Home. I had been apprehensive about this as my sister was very ill, but I need have no worries on that score. (I have had to leave blank the questions which did not apply.)

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Hulcott Nursing Home

On behalf of the Hulcott team, we would like to thank you for your positive feedback. Although your sister was only with us for a short time, we hope we made her stay with us comfortable and would like to pass on our condolences on hearing of her passing.

Hulcott Nursing Home is an outstanding care home, I can not recommend it highly enough. The home itself is lovely with a number of resident rooms, amazing amenities, and a beautiful garden. It is the Manager and all the staff that make this care home extraordinary. They all genuinely treat the residents like
they are a member of their own family. There is always someone to talk to. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They are passionate about the care they provide.
The food is very good and varied and caters for everyone.
Cleanliness is outstanding.
My friend feels happy, relaxed and secure at Hulcott, he always says this is his home and he loves everyone there.

Everyone is very kind and friendly. The care my mother receives I cannot fix it in any way.
As soon as she arrived last September they immediately noticed a skin problem and quickly dealt with it and my mother has no more skin problems now.
She is unable to do anything for herself and she receives
very good care every day, she is settled and happy.

First thoughts on the care home were very good! The care home is set in a beautiful area in a little cottage. The rooms were homely with everything she could need. We was able to hang pictures from her house of family so it felt like her home.
The staff were all amazing and I couldn’t speak more highly
about them. They looked after our Mum/Nan like she was family always checking up on her to see if she was alright to changing the channel for her to watch her favourite tv programs. Even down to her very last days when our family needed a break for half-hour staff would sit with her so that she wasn’t on her own. We always asked her if she was happy and being looked after and she would always reply “yes” without hesitation.
Even when Mum/Nan passed away they did a lovely day in memory of her with a picture of her and all her favourite things and sent me messages of conversations and memories they shared. I could not recommend this care enough for the love and care they give.

My mother was a resident at Hulcott Nursing Home.
She required a high level of care as was completely confined to her bed.
She was very well looked after by all staff and loved her room.
The food was to a high standard and she made some good friends in the staff.
Certainly, the staff I dealt with
during visits and administration were very helpful and I would like to thank them all one more time for looking after Mum when she needed help the most.

I was very well looked after. I take a lot of medication and this was always dispensed at the correct times. My room was nice, I overlooked the garden. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. I enjoyed my stay there and would be happy to go again.

My brother has been cared for extremely well by the people at Hulcott Nursing Home. I cannot thank them enough or indeed praise them highly enough for the care they have provided to him. I am aware that care homes are regularly checked by a government agency for their performance but that measure would
most probably not include a feeling of "family atmosphere". If Hulcott were to be assessed against a measure like this then it would be a ten out of ten! My brother has a terminal illness and when he first arrived at Hulcott he did not feel settled or in fact, want to be there at all. Over the course of the succeeding days, I saw all of that melt away and he settled in very well. He is being treated with dignity, respect and very good humour
Additionally, from my own point of view, I have been very satisfied with the communication I have received about various issues involving my brother. Very professional indeed.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) 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 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.649 for Hulcott Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 268 Ratings = 4.649

  • 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 23 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 23 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.
