About Dulas Court

Dulas Court is a residential care home in Herefordshire, near Hereford, looking after older people who need support with daily living rather than nursing care. We offer permanent places and respite stays, and we support residents living with dementia. Being in the countryside is part of what we offer, and we make use of it. Getting outside matters to people and is the first thing to slide when a home gets busy, so we keep it deliberately on the agenda, whether that means a walk, a drive, or simply sitting somewhere with a good view and a cup of tea. Our focus is on daily life rather than treatment. Residents keep their own routines, their own belongings and their own preferences, and are supported to carry on doing whatever they can for themselves. The help exists to make ordinary life possible rather than to take it over. For residents with dementia we rely on familiarity and patience: the same staff, a routine that holds its shape, and the willingness to give somebody the time to respond in their own way. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and are planned as carefully as any permanent move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are thinking about a place for yourself or a relative, please come and see us and make up your own mind.
