Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following an overnight stay in A & E, I spent 9 nights here from Sunday 8 June 2025, sleeping in a bed reserved by the NHS for rehab patients. I was treated well and with great kindness before being taken back to my own home. My thanks to all members of staff in every capacity.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff - caring and attentive, and friendly.
Atmosphere - welcoming.
Overall, my husband was very happy in the manner in which he was treated - he certainly enjoyed the food!. Only once criticism - he found the TV too loud!


My husband returned to the home on 26th June but sadly passed away on 29th

June. With regard to this visit I can only repeat how wonderfully he was cared for. In those last few days the regard of the staff for him was outstanding - gentle, loving care, dignity, kindness were apparent all the time. As a family the staff cared for us also lovingly, which was lovely in a very difficult time.

Very pleasant staff and always helpful. They only looked after my mum for a short period, but her short stay was very welcoming. Visiting hours are not restricted except for meal times, which is understandable. Big thank you to all the staff.

Review from Julie N (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum came to Fulford nursing home for rehabilitation after a fall. She was there from 27.11.24 to 13.12.24. She was very happy with her stay. The food was excellent and the staff very good. She had to share a room which wouldn't have been her preference but thankfully got on well with her roommate. The
only problem was the toilet. It was in the tiniest cupboard and they could barely close the door which offered very little privacy. Other than that her stay was needed by both of us and the care she got was great. Thank you.
Reply from Elizabeth Hancock, Proprietor at Fulford Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. I am pleased your mum enjoyed her stay and has returned home after some support. I must admit our home is a homely converted home and not every room has the spacious en-suites as a new build has. I will take that on board as feedback and something to work towards. I do wish you all well. It was lovely to meet you. Feel free to call in any time; the kettle is always on! Lizzie and everyone at Fulford Nursing Home.

Since I left Fulford Nursing Home I have settled back home, and with the help of carers, my family and friends from Church, it is so nice to be home. I can't thank you all enough for the wonderful care and attention I received from your wonderful care from everyone, admin, nurses, staff and of course
the chef.

I was a resident at Fulford Nursing Home from 06/01/2025 until 14/01/2025. I was pleasantly surprised to find a truly home from home after sometimes not so good reports care homes in news reports. I was only there for 8 days and I was very comfortable and content. I thought the food to be restaurant
quality and all staff excellent and very kind.

My dad came in here to rehabilitation and came out worse, plus half his clothes were missing when he came out. I rang up about them but no one rang back, the place was OK but I certainly wouldn't pay to go in there.
Reply from Elizabeth Hancock, Proprietor at Fulford Nursing Home

I am very sorry to hear your dad's experience staying with us fell short of our standards. I will ask our laundry staff if they have any clothing belonging to your dad and make arrangements to return it. Thank you for your review which I will share with all staff and we will look to improve. If you wish to speak with me personally please do call me.

A very good experience. I felt well cared for and looked after. I really enjoyed the food and the company.
I wasn't too keen on sharing a room and felt the bedroom was too small for two people.
My short stay helped prepare me for a return to my own home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fulford Nursing Home looked after a family friend for several years with a high level of skill, enormous care and dignity and outstanding kindness. My experience, visiting her over the years, has always been of a home with a friendly, cheerful and very welcoming atmosphere both for residents and visitors.
The day rooms are comfortable, warm and attractive and the staff going in and out clearly know each person well, talking to them and attending to their various needs in a way that shows their knowledge. In her bedroom, they created a personal corner for her taking care to put up her pictures and china so that it felt as homely for her.


Our friend was beautifully looked after and treated with dignity and respect. The staff always took any concerns she or I had seriously and responded to them. The staff at Fulford Nursing Home work very much as a team so she had consistency of care. I can never thank the staff enough for the care and kindness she received over her years at Fulford Nursing Home.

This is my first experience of living in a home and I am pleasantly surprised - particularly at the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff of all levels, management down to the floor cleaner. The only disappointment is my failure to be able to start to meet other residents (some of them never leave
their rooms) and those who are hard of hearing only talk in whispers.

Thank you for your review. It was lovely to meet you and your family and when you are in York again please call in and see us. All the best from all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.637)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.637) out of 10 for Fulford 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.637 for Fulford Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.637
  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 Nursing Home is based on 14 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
