Review from Julie S (Friend of Resident) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I have been visiting my neighbour and friend Olga for the last year. Krasi and Hulcott came to Olga's rescue after she was no longer managing at home. Olga knew all the staff as they had looked after her late husband David so well the previous year so was happy to go and knew she was in safe and caring hands. She was looked after wonderfully with staff who cared for her as if she was one of their own family. She loved it there and sadly I am speaking in past tense as she has just passed away but with care and dignity and respect shown to her all times. I will miss Olga and her smile so much and her smile never faded as she was so happy there. They loved her there and Julie in particular. Im so sad that I won't see her anymore and sad that I can't visit her there anymore as it's so welcoming. I may still go back in and befriend others. Don't hesitate in sending a loved one here it will be like home from home for them but with care and friendliness and company. A true gem.
↩Reply from Krasimira Nikolova, Home Manager at Hulcott Nursing Home
Dear Julie, thank you so much for your beautiful words and for being such a devoted friend to Olga. Our team is so touched by your kindness. You are always welcome at our home-please do come back and visit us soon.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from B S (Niece of Resident) published on 5 December 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Ken M (Husband of Resident) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Neil C (Son of Resident) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
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.

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.

Overall Experience
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.
