Overall Experience
Hulcott Care Home provided the best professional and caring services I could have hoped for for my elderly mother. Staff were both genuinely caring and interested and also managed her increasing frailty with very great dedication. They provided the care needed when it went beyond what I could provide. In doing that, they also looked after me and I am very grateful.

Review from N N (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother's last home was in Hulcott. She received, with gratitude, over 3 years of TLC by the caring and compassionate staff day and night, from chef to housekeeping to nursing and all her intimate carers. With hands-on management that stressed mum's individuality and dignity, the staff worked as a team with a purpose - to give care as they would to a family member - which mum thought was "Champion".

My father was very happy in the last 10 months of his life at Hulcott. As a family, we felt that the nursing care he received made his final days pass with dignity and peace. The support to the family through this difficult time was very appreciated.

Overall Experience
My great aunt had a fall recently. The paramedics said that the carers were sat on the floor with her and talking to her when they arrived.
The staff were all very helpful in getting her sorted out.

At all times I have been treated with professional care to the highest standard. I have nothing but the highest care and the best of the staff. I could not have been treated better in any home or hospital. I am most grateful to the staff from cleaners to nurses for the treatment I have received during my stay here.

The end of life care my mother received was of great comfort to her and all our family. The whole Hulcott team supported us in a very gentle, caring way and my mother was able to pass away peacefully and with dignity. Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience
My mother has been moved into Hulcott Nursing Home from a residential home, now needing nursing care.
I have found all the staff to be excellent, very caring to my mother and supported in all her needs now that she is very frail and bedridden.

Review from Alan R (Resident / Service User) published on 23 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
After trying several places for respite, I was lucky to find Hulcott Care Home with Nursing. I found the manager friendly and approachable. It was clear all the staff respected and liked her. On arriving at Hulcott Care Home with Nursing we were met by one of the male nurses, He was friendly and helpful showing me to my room. The room was on the ground floor with French windows which opened onto a grassed area. It was a very light room. Various staff passing by introduced themselves and shook my hand. Everyone was cheerful and helpful. A lot of time was spent organising my medication. In fact, Hulcott Care Home with Nursing has been the best for organising medication. I had a shower most mornings after having breakfast in bed and my first medication of the day. After the shower, I was taken to the communal room. There was always some activity going on and on Saturday, there was a karaoke. Some of the staff joined in. Although my mobility is bad I enjoyed the atmosphere! If I needed anything and asked the staff, they would if they could. I slept well and enjoyed the care and would be happy to go back there. At no time did I feel rushed and the whole atmosphere is happy and relaxed. My wife enjoyed her break knowing I was being cared for properly!

Overall Experience
Arrived late evening feeling terrible. I was looked after so well. The next day the activities coordinator came round and did my hair and had a long chat and made me feel so much better. Thank you. The food is excellent and served with a smile, you must have a fantastic chef! Every day, a friendly cleaner came in and had a chat and a smile, as well as the coordinator who came in every day, had a long chat and a laugh and I looked forward to it. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The laundry staff are very good and the carers are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. Loved my stay and feel so well.
