My father was a resident at Fulford for over a year. He was always saying how lovely the staff were and that he was well looked after. I am so grateful for the support and kindness shown to dad right to the very end.

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.

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.

Reply from Emily Fraher, Marketing Executive at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with Agincare and Fulford. We are delighted to hear that our team provided excellent service throughout your mother's stay. It is especially rewarding to know that our teams friendliness and care made a positive impact and that this experience has led you to choose Agincare for in-home care as well. We truly appreciate your trust in us.We also appreciate your constructive feedback regarding meal preferences. Ensuring that dietary requirements are met is very important, and we sincerely regret the mix-up. While we are glad that the meals were promptly changed, we will take steps to improve our processes and prevent such occurrences in the future. Once again, thank you for your thoughtful review. We wish your mother all the best with her ongoing care and look forward to continuing to support her.

The staff at Fulford Care are all so wonderful and caring. The home itself is welcoming and friendly, my father is a resident on the dementia wing and receives wonderful care. Each room is well equipped with personal belongings able to be brought in. The meals are of high standard and all freshly cooked.

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.

Reply from Matthew Li, Manager at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind review. We certainly enjoy caring for your parents here at Fulford, and ensuring that they can remain together.

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. We have been kept aware of everything that is happening both with her personally and in the home generally both with individual notifications
and group meetings.

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.

Thank you for looking after our mum since October 2022. Mum's care has been exemplary. She suffered for many years with leg ulcers and despite three visits a week to the GP, her legs never improved. When she came to Fulford Care and Nursing Home, with your care and attention, they healed completely.
Mum was never one to spend time by herself. Her life revolved around the family, her garden and her dog. To see mum with her beautiful hair plaited and nail polish on was something we never thought we'd see! She loved the time she spent with you, joining in all the activities. During mum's last few weeks you took care of our whole family and at times there were a lot of us! The supply of drinks, sandwiches and superb dinners meant we could spend quality time with our mum/nan. It's impossible to name members of the Fulford Family who have been so outstanding because it applies to everyone. You have all played your part in taking care of our lovely mum and we will be forever grateful.

Reply from Sarah Hart, Fulford Manager at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you, Barry, for your kind words to the team here at Fulford. It was an absolute pleasure looking after Mum, she made us laugh and was such a loving individual, she is missed dearly and has left a lasting impression on all our hearts.

My mother-in-law was 91 years of age living on her own doing well then she was diagnosed with dementia which changed everything drastically. It became clear she could not cope on her own any longer even with carers twice a day from her previous home care provider. The Fulford Care Home was mentioned
and everything changed again. From the very beginning of being shown around the home and actually signing up for her care package, we were helped all the way along by friendly and helpful people. She has now been there for eleven months and we are delighted with everything done for her. I thank all of you.

Reply from Sarah Hart, Fulford Manager at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated by the team here at Fulford! It is a pleasure supporting your mother-in-law and a pleasure seeing your smiling faces each time you and your wife visit the home!

My mum moved to Fulford 2+ years ago she did not like it there to start with but that soon changed. She found all the staff very friendly and looked after her very well. Then we got that call to make our way to her bedside, the day and night staff looked after me and my brother as well as our mum as
much tea, coffee, biscuits sandwiches and toast as we needed. They could not do enough for us. Mum was very well looked after and listened to in her time there. I would recommend this home to anyone. Every time I went there I was made to feel welcome from everyone there.

Reply from Sarah Hart, Fulford Manager at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words; your mother was a wonderful lady, and although passed, remains in all of our hearts here at Fulford. Mum had a great sense of humour and was a professional at cheating in Bingo, just a joy! All the very best.

During my mum's end-of-life care the management and staff discussed all my mum's needs and ensured as a family our last few days with Mum were treated with kindness. They went above and beyond to ensure we were able to spend time with our mum which meant so much to us as a family.

Reply from Sarah Hart, Fulford Manager at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure to care for Mum for so many years and for many of us, have very fond memories of her including tomatoes, sausages, reading books and her red lipstick! We will all miss her wit and her happy smile.

Mum was a resident at Fulford from 2019-2024. From the onset, Mum and the family were made welcome by all the staff. The care for all residents was evident and heartening upon our arrival and sustained every time we saw Mum over the four years.
Mum often said how happy she was at Fulford and made friends
with so many staff. When Mum passed peacefully at Fulford the staff and manager were so empathetic, a truly high-quality nursing home. I'm so pleased they accepted Mum, thank you.

Reply from Kim Maw, Fulford Manager at Fulford Care and Nursing Home

Thank you very much for your kind words, it was a pleasure looking after Mum and Dad when he visited. Mum was part of the Fulford family and we will always have fond memories of her.

When dad took a tumble the staff at Fulford looked after him swiftly and professionally. The paramedic who attended later was full of praise for how the staff had handled the situation and dressed his wounds.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Fulford Care and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.785 for Fulford Care and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.785

  • b) 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 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
