A Truly Exceptional Place. I can't speak highly enough of the care and compassion shown by the team at Drummohr Nursing Home. From the moment we first walked through the doors, it was clear this wasn't just a care facility-it was a warm, welcoming home.


The staff go above and beyond in every way,

treating residents with dignity, patience, and genuine kindness. It gave our family such peace of mind to know our loved one was not just being looked after, but truly cared for.


The communication from the team has been excellent, and they always take the time to keep us updated and involved. The home itself is clean, bright, and thoughtfully run, with a real sense of community and respect.


We're incredibly grateful for the dedication and professionalism of everyone at Drummohr. Thank you for making such a positive difference in all of our life.

My mum always seems happy enough. It is good that we can use the quiet room when visiting as we often take our grandchildren to visit their Great Granny so gives us more space. I have no problems with the care home apart from feeling that they don't go on enough trips even though there is a Care Home
Bus. I also feel that mum doesn't get outside enough although smokers do! I also feel that the people on the ground floor seem to be shown more on social media so it looks like they have more activities.

On the whole I am satisfied with mums care at Drummohr. There were a few instances mid year when I had to approach the staff regarding mum's cleanliness this was quickly rectified and was due to staff changes. The new staff did not know mum needed assistance washing and dressing. Find some staff members
are more compassionate than others. Mum can be difficult to deal with at times so understand its not easy for them.

My father entered the home in September and my overall experience so far is excellent. I had concerns about him settling into his new environment but these were quickly eliminated thanks to the staff. I have found all members of staff to be helpful and reassuring when I have asked questions or raised
concerns. After less than a fortnight, I could not have anticipated the settling-in period any better.

I have been very pleased with the care and attention that my husband has received since moving into Drummohr Care Home. He is well looked after by all the staff and they are very friendly and caring towards him. Like some other reviews I have read, keeping track of residents clothes, slippers etc seems
to be a problem.

I am very happy with the care my dad receives from all the staff at Drummohr. They have taken the time to get to know him and are able to support his needs. Dad is able to tell us that he likes living at Drummohr and the food is good - as long as he is happy, then I am happy. When there has been
any issues with Dad, the staff are excellent at keeping me updated.

Quite happy with everything apart from his stuff going missing and he needs to use his legs more, rather than putting him in a wheelchair.

A visit improvement in the overall state of the care home. A few little issues I had with my father's state of dress and general well-being have been addressed. Staff are friendly and communication has vastly improved but still needs a little improvement.
The manager is very approachable with any issues
and does act on them.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I am extremely pleased with the care and support my sister receives from the staff in this nursing home. My sister's quality of life has improved greatly since she moved to this home six months ago. She is happy, eating well, sleeping well, has made friends and is engaging in activities that she has
never had the confidence to engage with in her entire life. All the staff are kind and caring towards my sister and have actively encouraged her to engage in arts and crafts that she has never been involved with before. My sister loves living in the home and tells me that she wishes she had moved there years ago. She feels valued by the staff and this has increased her confidence and self-esteem. Before moving into the home she was unhappy, depressed, lonely and watched the TV all day. She also did not eat properly and continually caught infections. Now she eats very well as she has her appetite back, has made friends, is much happier and her TV is rarely on. Her life has really improved.

My Mum has been well looked after. The staff are so kind, considerate and really helpful. The manager and all her staff are a credit to the company.
Since my mum has been admitted to the home I feel she is safer and well looked after at all times.

My relative was admitted to Drummohr after bed blocking in a large hospital. He said he would abide by the doctor's advice so didn't have much choice. I feel there is a lack of stimulation in the home, activities have been started but not very imaginative. Food is passable, not 'haute cuisine. Lack
of physiotherapy, so many clients are not mobile. The staff are all excellent if overworked, especially at weekends. The laundry regime could be tightened up - many lost clothes. Nurses are excellent, but they are also sometimes the person in charge. I feel that the website is a bit ambitious and things could be tightened up a bit.

My mum had a fall on 25th November resulting in a very bad head wound. As a dementia patient, my mum had no concept of the seriousness of her injury and as such kept trying to move. The staff were excellent in the care provided. They sat with her and had to continuously attempt to staunch the blood
flow until the ambulance arrived approx 4 hours later. My mum was treated with great care and compassion in what was an extremely distressing situation for all concerned.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.335)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.335) out of 10 for Drummohr Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.335 for Drummohr Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.335

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Drummohr Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
