Review from Sheila T (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

My friend had superb care in a private room, with her own personal bathroom and a lovely sea view. Her room and the entire home was clean, comfortable and inviting. The care was professional, with friendly, kind staff. I would recommend Drumconner to anyone.

My grandpa spent a few months at Drumconner Care Home, and I can honestly say we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring-not just toward him, but toward our whole family.

Overall Experience
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.

After moving my cousin from another home, we are both delighted with the standard of care, room, atmosphere , food, & the communication between staff & cousin. He is so happy at Drumconner. We are welcomed every visit , Anne & Chloe on reception are very welcoming & friendly, they pass on messages from my cousin if he wants to see us. They also accept his many online shopping orders, taking them up to him. The nurses, deputy & manager, are always accessible, answering any questions or concerns , they also keep us informed on all medical updates. It's wonderful to be reassured that my cousin is happy and well looked after .

Review from Elaine A (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Oliver, Senior Manager at Drumconner Homes Lancing

Thank you so much for your lovely message, Elaine. It is wonderful to hear how happy and settled your mum has been at Drumconner since April 2025. Your kind words about the staff, the food and the activities really mean a lot. Most importantly, knowing your mum feels content and comfortable is so reassuring.

Review from A F (Niece of Resident) published on 27 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Liam T (Grandson of Resident) published on 3 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
One of the most remarkable things I've noticed about Drumconner, is the real care factor from the staff and the extra mile the team go. After a serious fall, my nan went from independent living with support from family. To needing full-time care, after a stint in the hospital, she was very frail upon arrival to Drumconner. One of the most amazing things is that she's gone from being fully bed-bound to being able to get outside and even participate in a few activities. Considering how vigilant and independent my nan is, and struggles to ask for help. It's been lovely seeing her regain some of her mobility near the end of her life, and work with the team there. For the family, it's been wonderful to use the time we were committing to care, and instead, spending quality time making some last few memories.

Our family have been in constant communication with all the team there, as well as being supported as well. It's a beautiful nursing home with clean and excellent facilities/food/activities.

Reply from Oliver, Senior Manager at Drumconner Homes Lancing

Thank you so much for your review. We're truly touched to hear about the positive impact our team has had on your grandmother's life and are grateful for the opportunity to support both her and your family. It's wonderful to know that she is regaining mobility and enjoying her time with us.

I have found all the staff to be really kind and helpful. They made my mother's first few weeks comfortable and helped her to settle into a new environment, especially after being so independent. They have taken great care with her health issues ensuring she received prompt attention from medical staff. I cannot fault the kindness that has been shown to her.

Review from Gillian P (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mum went into Drumconner from hospital after breaking her hip, and could not return home. This was my Mum's 'Be all and end all', if she had to go into a care home then it had to be Drumconner. From the first steps into the reception, we were greeted in a warm friendly professional way. Extremely friendly and helpful. On my return with my Brother, we experienced the same welcome. Every member of staff whether it was reception, nursing, or maintenance always greeted you and helped you, even if it wasn't their job area. The new rooms were amazing and Mum was in one overlooking the front and the sea. The rooms are 5*. The amenities they offer are second to none.

We cannot 'wax lyrical' enough on how pleased we were to get our Mum into Drumconner. Thank you to all The Team/Management for their kindness, cheerfulness, and professionalism. We would certainly recommend Drumconner to anyone who is seeking care.
