My uncle has been in the home for several months now and I think he has settled well. The staff are very friendly and caring and seem to have a good rapport with him when I visit. He looks clean and tidy and always says he's doing fine. That's all you can ask for!
Reply from Louise Queen, Home Manager at Dounemount Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad you are happy with all we do for your uncle - he is a pleasure to care for.

The nurses and carers at Dounemount are always going above and beyond for my Granny. Granny has good relationships will all of the carers and nurses and really enjoys staying in Dounemount. The recent renovations have made a huge difference and made it feel more homely. The staff were more than happy
to set up a wee birthday party for Granny in October and allowed us to make special memories! We, as a family, always feel welcome when we visit and were welcomed in on Christmas Day to have our Christmas Dinner with my Granny in her room! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the residents and visitors!

To all the staff at Dounemount. My mum spent her last six months staying at Dounemount from April 22 till August 22. From day one mum was treated as part of the family. The staff were always cheery and smiling and went an extra mile every day nothing was ever too much trouble not only did mum receive
excellent care she enjoyed many of the varied activities from concerts, outings, and garden parties she really had a ball. All I can say is thank you so much for making mum's short stay so enjoyable.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister has been in the Home for nearly a year now and, through choice, is virtually bedridden. However, the staff have been very encouraging and have persuaded her to occasionally come to the lounge in a suitable chair. This requires lifting her on a hoist but they do so willingly. They laugh and
joke with her and arrange cakes and suitable accessories for special occasions. They keep me informed of her condition and medical needs on a regular basis which is very helpful as I live too far away for visits.
Reply from Louise Queen, Home Manager at Dounemount Care HomeThank you for your review. We are glad to hear you are happy with how your sister is cared for at Dounemount.

My mum settled in instantly to Dounemount Care Home, bearing in mind this was under difficult times during the first week of the pandemic but the staff were so reassuring and made the transition smooth.

The staff went over and above to arrange a special day for the resident and her husband to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. They provided a buffet and a cake for them and all the family. Also, there was a singer so they had a wee dance. It was a lovely day and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
We couldn’t thank the staff enough.

My mum was admitted to Dounemount on February 1st 2022. It was a difficult time for the whole family but the staff at Dounemount have made the whole experience so much easier. My mum is happy, thinks that this is her home and has settled so well. We even celebrated my mum and dad's diamond wedding at
the home last weekend - it was amazing! The staff had decorated a lounge, provided a wonderful buffet and even made a cake! They had a singer and we all applauded as my mum and dad took to the dance floor! My mum has no memory of it but it made memories for us. Wonderful place!
Reply from Louise Queen, Home Manager at Dounemount Care HomeThank you for your kind review. We are pleased the admission process went smoothly and that Mum was able to settle into her new home so quickly. It was an honour for us all to help your mum and dad celebrate a very special occasion.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dounemount Care Home has impressed with their professional and consistent approach to the safety of its residents and is one of the few that has been able to keep the Covid virus from affecting any resident. I am extremely grateful for their diligence.
My mother has found it difficult to settle, however,
Dounemount has informed the family of any issues and I know they have worked hard to make my mother comfortable and feel welcome in the home.
Recently, I have had the opportunity to visit my mother in the home and I was impressed by the calm and relaxing atmosphere, the beautiful views from the lounge windows and, most importantly, the professional, friendly and helpful interaction that we have received from each and every member of staff.
Difficult though it has been for our family to place our mother in the home, I am happy that she is in Dounemount where I have confidence that she is provided the best possible care and attention.
Reply from Sarah Whyte, Home Administrator at Dounemount Care HomeHi, it was lovely to welcome you back into the care home and thank you, on behalf of myself and our team at Dounemount, for taking the time to share your appreciation.
I will, of course, pass it on to all of our team, so they know how grateful and thankful you are for all their care and support. We hope to see you again soon.

The care home is poorly run. However, there are some staff who do try, but the manager does not treat family members with any respect. Staff will give you wrong information, stuff in rooms often goes missing.

Without exception, all of the staff that both I and my mother came into contact with were all kind, patient, caring and understanding. All parties went to great lengths to support and care for my mother in so many different ways. Later the palliative care given/shown to my mother was considerate, professional
with compassion. The consideration shown to me was greatly appreciated along with constructive advice and empathy. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all.
Reply from Jasmine Bracken, Marketing Administrator at Dounemount Care HomeThank you for your kind comments about our Care team.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.521)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.521) out of 10 for Dounemount Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.821 for Dounemount Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.821
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dounemount Care Home is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
