Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving home is always traumatic but it was pure joy moving to Drumconnor. As the user is wheelchair bound he was collected by Drumconnor staff in their specially equipped transporter van then driven onto Drumconnor. Cheerful introductions and laughter put the user at ease. More welcoming faces and
introductions to staff from an assortment of positions prepared the way to his chosen room and the comfort of the recliner. The ever ready British cup of tea preceded lunch. From the entrance hall, lift, corridor and the user's room, everywhere was spotlessly clean and smelt fresh. The room had a view of the sea which brought a smile to the new user's face. Having been born in Brighton the sea plays an important part in one's life. Recognising an avid Elvis Presley and football fan the maintenance staff affixed his extensive collection of memorabilia to the walls of his room. As a socially adept man his photographs and other objects readily inspire conversations with staff and visitors.
Reply from Oliver, Marketing Manager at Drumconner Homes LancingWe are delighted to hear that the move to Drumconner was such a positive one and that our team helped make the transition comfortable and welcoming. It is lovely to know that the sea view, personalised room and friendly support from our staff have helped your loved one feel at home.

My friend was made to feel at home as soon as she entered Drumconner. She was very anxious and confused but was quickly put at ease by the wonderful caring staff. From the reception staff to the nursing staff to the exceptional carers, everything was done to make my friend comfortable and welcome.
The care she receives everyday is exceptional and has made her a much happier person. Her room was warm, homely, modern and very clean. I would have no hesitation in recommending Drumconner for exceptional nursing care.

I am incredibly grateful for the care and compassion shown to my brother during his stay at Drumconner. From the very beginning, the staff made both him and our family feel welcome. It was clear that they genuinely care about the wellbeing of their residents, not just physically but emotionally as well.


The

nurses and caregivers were attentive, patient, and consistently kind, taking the time to get to know my brother as an individual. They treated him with dignity at all times, which meant a great deal to us. Communication was also excellent-staff kept us informed at all times.


The nursing home was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and his bedroom was light and airy.


Activities were thoughtfully organized, helping residents stay engaged and connected.


Knowing my brother was in such capable and compassionate hands gave our family real peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Drumconner

Following a severe stroke which left her NWB (non weight bearing) and a loss of movement on her left side my friend chose to go to Drumconner and has received amazing physical and mental support in adjusting to her new normal. She enjoys being able to choose her clothes every day and whilst she chooses
not to participate in activities with any frequency there is always a great programme on offer to join in with. A good range of food is available at every mealtime with personal preferences and dietary requirements catered for. Annie and Chloe on reception are always welcoming and friendly and are happy to help in any way they can. Staff at every level are always cheerful and helpful. The matron, deputies and RNs are always accessible if you have any questions or concerns and keep me updated with any medical conditions.
If anyone is looking for excellent care for a loved one I would urge them NOT to heed the latest CQC report but to visit Drumconner and see for yourself.
Reply from Oliver, Senior Manager at Drumconner Homes LancingThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback.

Mum has been at Drumconner since April 2025 she has received such kindness and excellent care. All the staff are always cheerful and helpful. The food is good, nutritious and healthy. Any queries or questions are answered promptly. The residents have a good variety of activities to attend which are
delivered with enthusiasm and encouragement.
Mum is content, comfortable and happy there which is very reassuring for our family.
I feel strongly that the recent damming CQC report does not reflect the high quality of care I have witnessed.

I will first say what fantastic care my aunt received when living at Drumconner. Each time I visited my aunt the staff were all very friendly and helpful. My aunt enjoyed engaging in cheerful banter and seemed to have a good rapport with everyone.
Sadly, in December my aunt became unwell and was admitted
to hospital where she passed away later the same day. However, my mother was unaware of this and only found out six days later. My mother was very distressed and disappointed not to have been informed.
I subsequently rang Drumconner to ask why my mother had not been informed on the day my aunt was taken to hospital. My mother had ensured that the home had her correct contact details as she was the only close relative living locally. If my mother had been informed she would have gone to the hospital to sit with her sister.
I requested that the home manager contact my mother (or myself) so she could explain the circumstances and answer my mother's questions, but this has not happened.
Reply from Oliver, Senior Manager at Drumconner Homes LancingThank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind words about the care your aunt received at Drumconner. We are pleased to hear that she felt comfortable, supported and able to build positive relationships with our team.

We are very sorry to hear of your aunt's passing and extend our sincere condolences to you and your family. We understand how upsetting this must have been.

When a resident is admitted to hospital, we are legally required to notify the registered next of kin on record. In your aunt's case, her son and daughter were listed and were informed at the appropriate time. Due to confidentiality and data protection regulations, we are unable to share medical or hospital information with anyone not recorded as next of kin. We recognise that this was distressing and we are sorry for the upset caused. We would be happy to speak with you or your mother to answer any remaining questions or provide further clarification.

Beautiful nursing home with wonderful staff and facilities.

Everyone is so kind to her, and the food is exceptional. She has enjoyed two trips out, and weekly

Drumconner has given us peace of mind, knowing mum is being well looked after by professionals. Thank you for giving her such a happy, caring home in the final stage of her life.
