CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
An independent residential care home in Nelson, Lancashire, Hulton Care Home is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 30 beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and younger adults.
Its CQC rating, from September 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in August 2017, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 47% of homes in Lancashire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. That is true of 77% of homes in Lancashire. 257 other homes in Lancashire share its tier, “Good”.
