Hulcott was formerly the Rectory to All Saints Church in Hulcott, and is located just off the A418 due north-east of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Hulcott provides both respite and permanent care to 38 elderly people who require personal care and nursing support.

The approach to nursing and healthcare needs at Hulcott is discreet. As much or as little support as an individual requires is provided, whilst ensuring that each resident retains their right to privacy, independence and dignity.

Each resident, and their relatives, are offered the opportunity to be involved in developing their individual care package together with a senior member of the nursing team; this ensures that the package of care is appropriate and supports independence and quality of life.

Hulcott Nursing Home is a distinguished character house that has been lovingly restored, retaining its wealth of character through its prominent architectural features, which are today complemented by contemporary furnishings to provide bright and spacious accommodation.

As part of the Caring Homes Group, Hulcott benefits from being part of a quality focussed organisation with accreditations to ISO9001 (2000) and Hospitality Assured standards in recognition of the groups commitment to high standards and consistency in service delivery.

Meals can be taken in the privacy of a resident’s private room or alternatively in the dining area, which provides good opportunities for social engagement and catching up with friends.

There are clear benefits in maintaining hobbies and leading as active a life as possible. At Hulcott a dedicated activities co-ordinator works with residents to develop weekly plans incorporating as many resident’s individual preferences as possible. Complementing the weekly programme of activities are visiting speakers who provide talks on a wide variety of stimulating subjects; social functions are arranged providing opportunities for family and friends to get together, and outings, which are organised throughout the year.

We arrange regular visits from hairdressers, chiropodists and opticians, for the provision of services to residents, on whatever basis they choose.

Hulcott Nursing Home has strong links with the village parish church, which is dedicated to All Saints. Regular communion takes place within the church and in the nursing home; visits from residents own ministers are welcomed at all times.

Hulcott operates an open visiting policy, and encourages residents to invite friends and family to visit or to entertain over lunch or dinner.

Subject to availability, we welcome short stay residents who wish to either simply enjoy a break with us, require a period of convalescence, or who wish to sample Hulcott lifestyle with the future in mind.

Realising it was going to be difficult for mother to readjust from living in her own home, we were impressed by the manner and care that the staff showed in helping her make the transition. Today, after 3 months though mother's dementia has progressed and her physical abilities improved slightly, the same care and attention to detail is being shown. Overall the staff do their best under difficult circumstances to ensure that mum's stay is as happy and comfortable as possible.

Review of Hulcott Care Home with Nursing, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire by Helen McCaskie (Daughter of Resident)

Wednesday 9 May 2012

Hulcott Care Home was recommended by a friend who had a relative staying there. My brother and I wanted a home from home for our father who can no longer live independently due to vascular dementia and a heart problem. Hulcott fits the bill as the staff are warm and friendly, there is no nasty smell. My father has his own room with shower, toilet and hand basin, which is cleaned daily. If he needs help there is a call bell in easy reach. The gardens are lovely. There is a pleasant lounge with comfy chairs and a proper dining room. The activity officers are excellent and include my father in quizzes, bingo, singing or just talking. He is very happy there and we hope he can make it his permanent home.

Review of Hulcott Care Home with Nursing, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire by Peter F (Son of Resident)

Monday 16 April 2012

We picked Hulcott out of yellow pages as we needed an emergency respite placement. Marilyn Kimayong, the Care Manager, agreed to take my mother on a Saturday when we had reached the end of our tether after a very rapid decline in my mother's health due to a very nasty attack of shingles on the right side of her head. Hulcott has now become her home. The manager and staff team are very caring. The home has a homely atmosphere and is not too big. My mother is now living in a caring environment in the manner she chooses, in picturesque surroundings. We are grateful fate took a hand and guided us to Hulcott.

Review of Hulcott Care Home with Nursing, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire by Carole H (Daughter of Resident)

Thursday 22 March 2012

As one walks in the door there's always a warm welcome. The entrance is inviting, everywhere is clean (no urine smells here). The sitting rooms are cosy and the dining room beautifully laid out. All bedrooms are homely and most have lovely garden views. My mother is very well cared for with some independence being encouraged. The staff are always willing and friendly both to residents and relatives and they are very alert to everyones needs. I'm so pleased my mother is a resident in Hulcott, her care is wonderful in its home like atmosphere.

Monday 19 March 2012

My mother goes in for respite care and although she is adamant she doesn't want to go into any home permanently, she is full of praise for the staff, the food and general care she receives. We are very grateful that Hulcott keeps rooms for respite care on a short term basis.

Review of Hulcott Care Home with Nursing, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire by Thalia S (Daughter of Resident)

Monday 19 March 2012

The staff are approachable, caring and friendly. If any problems arise the manager has an open door policy. It is set in a beautiful little hamlet. You are encouraged to participate in care plans. There are relatives meetings where ideas and concerns can be raised and information exchanged. Nowhere is perfect, but this home does not have an awful odour when entering.

I have little means of comparing Hulcott Nursing Home with others, however, my wife is a resident there and she is very happy there. The nursing staff are helpful and the care assistants willing. The surroundings are very pleasant and a good range of activities are arranged. There is a varied menu and the food is well prepared.
