About Hulton Care Home

Hulton Care Home is a residential care home in Nelson, Lancashire. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and to younger adults who need residential support, and we take respite bookings for short stays. We are a home of a size where everyone knows everyone. That sounds like a small thing and it is not. It means our team notices when someone eats less than usual, sleeps badly or goes quiet, and can act on it the same day rather than a fortnight later at a review meeting. People decide how their own day goes. When to get up, what to wear, whether to sit in the lounge or stay in their room, what they want on their plate. Rooms are furnished with people's own things because a familiar chair and familiar pictures do more for someone settling in than anything we could buy. For residents living with dementia we keep the surroundings calm and consistent, use what we know of the person's life to make sense of what they are telling us, and avoid the sort of well meaning correction that only causes distress. Health needs are looked after with local GPs and community nurses, and families hear from us as a matter of routine rather than only when something goes wrong. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Do come and visit us in Nelson before you make any decision.
