Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From feeling worried and insecure, my stay at Fulford Nursing Home has given me a new lease of life. The staff and service here are quite simply wonderful and have attended to my every need. All done on a family atmosphere. I lack achievement, but they do it a Fulford Nursing home. The staff work as
a team and all get on together.
Although situations can change rapidly, and as a result become very difficult for everyone. The carers cope very well and still provide excellent care. Thank you.

I went to Fulford Nursing Home following a fall and was there for just over a month. The staff were lovely, treating me with care and kindness. The home-cooked food was great! My dignity was respected and I felt safe.

The staff and the food were excellent. The two chefs did a wonderful job with what they produced. Each meal had a choice of many dishes and their staff were caring. The nursing staff were caring, the nursing staff were always kind and they handled the difficult patients gently.

During my short stay at the Fulford Nursing Home, I was made most welcome by the staff, who all worked together as a team.
All patients were treated with respect. Nothing was any trouble for the staff. I was helped in every way possible and you were made to feel at home.
Food; it was fit for King
or Queen.
No complaints whatsoever.

My only criticism would be that the building is not entirely suited (agewise) for purpose.

If someone had a fall like I did and needed help walking, I think it was excellent. In the six days I was in Fulford I thought the staff would do anything to help you and very pleasant.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was well cared for during my stay at the nursing home.
The staff were very attentive to my needs, including taking me for short walks. Visiting O/T staff drew up a series of exercises for me to do. My shared bedroom was comfortable and adequately furnished. The nursing staff ensured that residents
received their medication at the appropriate times.
There was a choice of food at breakfast, lunch and evening meal. Tea/coffee etc and snacks were available, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and prior to bedtime.

From my very first day of admission, I was made to feel very welcome and put at ease by all the staff, carers and residents.
I was very grateful to all the staff, carers and residents for all their care, attention and friendship during my stay whilst convalescing.
To all concerned, much appreciated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A warm, friendly welcome to both residents and visitors. Extremely helpful and caring staff who seek to provide the best possible service. Nothing is too much trouble. It is a very homely place where residents and visitors are treated like a family.
Particular attention to small details is given such
as favourite food and special needs. Visitors are immediately asked if they would like a drink on arrival and homemade cakes are always offered to everyone. Any problems are soon addressed and the management team are always ready to support and communicate with family and carers as appropriate, respecting confidentiality.

Review from Susan D (Niece of Resident) published on 17 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My aunt spent three months in Fulford Nursing home for end of life care.
We couldn’t have chosen a better place for her to end her days. The staff are so caring and made her last few months as comfortable as possible. They accommodate relatives in the best possible way, always approachable and always
offering drinks and meals to family wanting to spend quality time with residents.
I was always kept up to date with any concerns or changes and I know my aunt could not have been in a better place for her last few months.
Thank you all, you are an amazing team.

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.
