  • Hulton House Care Home, Preston
Operated by L&M Healthcare, Hulton House is a 74 bed home offering complex dementia and mental health care nursing.

A warm, bright and welcoming setting, residents at Hulton House receive high quality care and support from a highly trained and committed team who are dedicated to enriching the lives of both residents and their families, through kindness, engagement, communication and a passion to make a difference.

At Hulton House, they take a 'whole home' approach to creating meaningful activities for residents. All staff, no matter what their job title, are responsible for ensuring that any interaction they have with residents reflects their personal interests and preferences at all times. From the way they like to prepare for the day, their hobbies and interests, the way they like to enjoy their food, or keep in touch with relatives and friends and the way they like to prepare themselves for their night time routine. The team believe all these things should be meaningful to the resident and the way they lived their life before they moved into the home

A regular weekly programme of inclusive activities is also available and includes themed events, trips out, visits from professional musicians and entertainers, guided walks round the gardens and to the local duck pond to feed the ducks, chair-based exercise classes, arts and crafts, baking, film nights, games on the Tovers (interactive table) and a trip out on the virtual car experience. Residents are also encouraged to take advantage of the pamper suite where they can enjoy pedicures, manicures, massages, hair cutting and styling.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't express how grateful I am to this place for looking after my grandma. She is unique and challenging, but they know exactly how to handle her and are extremely considerate and caring towards her. As a family we are very close, and they are understanding of this and always keep us updated with
how she is getting on. My grandma needs a lot of 1:1 attention, and they always ensure they are there to meet her needs. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for all you do!

I cannot express enough gratitude to the incredible team at Hulton House. They have gone above and beyond to ensure my mum receives the highest level of care, treating her with kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. The staff consistently find creative ways to engage her in activities that bring
her joy and stimulation, making her days fulfilling and meaningful. Their warmth and dedication shine through in everything they do, and it's clear they truly care about each resident's well-being. Knowing my mum is in such a nurturing environment gives me great peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Hulton House to anyone looking for exceptional care for their loved ones. Thank you for all you are doing.

Hulton House is a very safe & secure care home, very clean and well-staffed. Nothing is too much trouble; the interaction with staff and patients, as well as relatives, is amazing. Unfortunately, I live in Australia and can only visit so often, but I am regularly kept up to date about my father, and
it is such a relief that I know he is being well cared for.

Mum has lived at Hulton House for 5 years. I love that despite advanced dementia, the staff know Mum and she feels supported and cared for. The staff are always thinking of new activities or ways to keep Mum stimulated, and seeing the way she smiles at her carers shows me how much she likes the people
who look after her. I've found the management of the home to always be a great support and help. Including helping my dad and keeping an eye on how he is doing when he visits.

Upon entering Hulton House one would think you were entering a hotel foyer as it is very welcoming. The staff are extremely helpful. The facility is kept to an impressive standard of cleanliness. The interaction between residents and staff is heartwarming. My wife and I could not be happier and confident
in the care afforded to my wife's father, especially in the fact that we live in Australia and only get back to the UK every twelve months. Between visits, we also received feedback from Hulton House as to his well being.

I feel I am so blessed, my father has dementia. The home is absolutely fantastic, I receive regular phone calls about my Dad, sometimes he is resident of the week, sometimes it's just for an update. I visit when I can, and the care my Dad gets is second to none; nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
Most of all, I know my Dad is safe and in an excellent environment, getting the care he needs. Thank you so much Hulton House Staff.

The carers on the unit where my mother is are always very attentive to the residents needs. They are polite and friendly to all the visitors and will always stop to ask if everything is ok. I have noticed that my mother is very content with her life at the home and this makes me feel very confident
that when I am not there she is being looked after, and that is all I could ask for. My mum is a very special lady and is loved very much by all her family.

The staff on my mum's ward are always extremely helpful, if we ask for any information regarding my mum's care and treatment, it is always given or if they don't have specific details they will contact myself or my sister. We are always informed if she is unwell, if there's an injury or if she's resident
of the week! Mum seems content and happy. We also asked that she be more involved in activities and this had been adhered to as much as possible. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Hulton House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.846 for Hulton House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (425 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 495 Ratings = 4.846
  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 Hulton House Care Home is based on 42 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 42 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.
