* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 6.9 (maximum of 10) for Hulton Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Hulton Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 2.5 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 2 years. (A 2 year period has been used as there were no positive reviews in the last 12 months)
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.396 for Hulton Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (42 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.396
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 2.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hulton Care Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4 then divided by 2 = 2.000
Target of 6 positive Reviews (30 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 6 Target = 1.000 , then divided by 2 = 0.500
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Hulton Care Home has a Review Score of 6.9 (6.896) from 8 Reviews

My Mother was admitted to Hulton Care Home in 2014 and she received the best care that I hoped for in every way. All the staff from the manager down to the cleaners and maintenance were friendly, open to suggestions and nothing was too much trouble.

You can put gold taps and everything state of the art, but that counts for nothing if you don't have lovely staff that care.

On 10th of August my Mother in law, aged 99, passed away in your Nelson home. The care respect and consideration shown by your Staff was second to none. She had been in your care for about 3 1/2 years and was always well cared for during her stay, she loved it there. Last September her husband also passed away in your home he was 96 . We have come to know the staff quite well in that time and regard them as more of an extended family than carers. We would like to thank all the staff. We miss our trips to Nelson. Thank you and your fabulous Staff.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Carole T (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 3 August 2016. Relates to June 2016.
My mother was taken into the home in April 2016 suffering from dementia. My first impression was how helpful and friendly all the staff are and how it didn't smell of pee! The room mum has looks over the garden and is nice and light. Mum has been allowed to bring some of her own furnishings in. Before going into the home my mum was very lonely as dad died in 2009 and they did everything together and at 86 few friends still living. She has been on several outings and feels like she is settling in. I would like to thank the staff for their continued patience with mum and her mood swings and extremely glad we got her in there.

I was asked if I thought my friend was being cared for well, if I had any problems with the caring and did I want to discuss any matters concerning her. A friendly meeting, no problems arose.

The home have been looking after my mother for six months. She is very happy, settled and comfortable and says the foods good and she enjoys the activities the home put on. Especially the trips out. Hopefully now that winter has gone by she is looking forward to sitting out in the outside sitting area.
