Extremely poor service. My friend is sleeping in her clothes unless I give her a shower and change her bedding, she will be dirty and wearing her clothes for 7 days!! This is bordering on abuse. Social worker is useless and couldn't care less. My friend has short term memory loss, doesn't interact with
people, but is left for days without adequate care and paying for this service.

I have only the best to say about Fulford. The staff have been incredible. I wouldn't of wanted my dad to have gone nowhere else. I will be very sad to say goodbye to everyone. My dad has come on so much in the six weeks that he has been there, and it's all thanks to the lovely staff. So thank you very
much.

I have no experience of nursing homes, but from day one, the welcome my family and I get from Fulford is always very friendly and the staff remembers my name, which means so much when times are very emotional.
Fulford is very comfortable and feels cosy, so clean and always kept tidy.

Review from R M (Friend of Resident) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The initial visit and assessment of my friend's needs and abilities was carried out respectfully and in a friendly fashion.
My friend makes a mess sometimes in the ensuite toilet and in his room, where he chooses to take his meals. This mess is sometimes not cleaned up by care staff immediately and
is left to the cleaning team, who may not be able to do it for several hours. I think this is a health and safety issue and it is every staff member's duty of care to just clean up any mess.
Despite this, the caring staff are, on the whole, caring, friendly and responsive.
There is usually a staff member on reception during the week to let visitors in and out. It is very frustrating, however at weekends when one has to wait some time for a carer to let you in or out. There must be a better system for visitors to go in and out safely at weekends without having to search for a member of care staff.

The most amazing friendly and caring staff at this care home. Every single member of staff says hello when you walk past and you can see how much they are adored by the residents. I never once worry about my mum in their care. The home has so much light and a massive community feel. If you have the
option for your loved one to stay here, grab it! I can promise you it will be the best decision you make for them! My mum is very happy here.

My mother is the happiest she has been for years and loves all the staff. We are very lucky that Fulford was chosen by the Social Worker as a home for a D2A placement. My mother is now a permanent resident, and I can relax knowing she couldn't be any happier.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From our first contact three weeks ago to my mother leaving today, the service given by Agincare / Fulford has been excellent. We first contacted Fulford when my mother was in hospital after a fall. We wanted a local home to provide temporary care while we sorted out her house. She lives close to Fulford
so it was a natural choice so her neighbours could visit ( that said, I checked out alternatives in Littlehampton and Fulford was the best option anyway).


The Portland Admin team have been very helpful throughout.


The staff at Fulford itself have been very friendly and caring for my mum. She has now moved to "in home" care for a while before hopefully moving to daily visits. We have engaged Agincare for the in home care based on our experience at Fulford and will consider them for daily visits.


The only negative comment relates to meals..my mother is a vegetarian but says on a number of occasions she was presented with a meal with meat. On each occasion, the meal was changed.

My mum has been at Fulford care home for 2 years suffering with Alzheimer's, recently my dad has joined her suffering with Dementia. I can honestly say Fulford care home has been amazing. I would love to name them all. Reception, office, activities, carers, nurses, cleaning, catering, maintenance etc
etc. Care homes sometimes get bad reviews but I can only speak from my heart knowing that my mum and dad are safe, happy and so well looked after and also loved. It's the hardest thing you have to do and heartbreaking knowing you can't cope anymore and keep them safe but I can honestly say I have no regrets. A care home is only as good as the staff they have and they are truly amazing. My advice would be work with the staff as they are the one's who will know the issues facing your parent/brother/sister etc. Thank you Fulford for everything you have done for my mum and dad and for me to.

Fulford Care Home have been all we could have wished for looking after our mother. She is well looked after and happy and all the staff have helped to make this so.

My mother came to live at Fulford nearly two years ago, as my father had died and she was unable to live on her own due to age and mobility issues. I phoned round a few care homes in the area, none of which seemed bothered, but Fulford immediately showed interest and compassion, and I knew this was
the one!
She now lives in a lovely room, surrounded by her own possessions, and is very well cared for. She loves all the staff and carers, who come by for a chat when they can, and I know she is in good hands.
When we came to visit recently she told us she is very happy living at Fulford, and is glad we found it for her.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.570)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.570) out of 10 for Fulford Care and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.570 for Fulford Care and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 291 Ratings = 4.57
  2. 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 Fulford Care and 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:

    1. 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
    2. 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
