My grandpa has settled very well into Drummohr Care Home, thanks to the care and attentiveness of the staff. They recognise his needs and he is happy here. I am so impressed by the facilities for residents and visitors. We are able to enjoy quality family time with grandpa, make coffee and play music.
Grandpa was accommodated here at very short notice, which we are very grateful for. He has since moved to a bedroom on a more appropriate floor which he is very happy with. The staff turned this around for him as quickly as they could. Thank you for treating my grandpa with dignity and respect.

My grandpa is staying here and he seems genuinely happy to be here. I love the music/lounge room- he had a big smile on his face while singing along. It makes me happy to see him so comfortable here. Everybody is so friendly and cheerful!

The staff did a great job creating a social area for residents and their families. The celebration of its opening was a very enjoyable day with staff going above and beyond to make the day fun for all the residents.
A lovely team at Drummohr, take time to add personal touches to the care of their

Excellent care is given to my father in law. Staff can't do enough for us all. Housekeeping staff are great and are always on the go. Staff are always visible, the managers door is always open and she will always give you time when needed or will often just come out to say hello and ask how things are.
The care given to my father in law has been exceptional, we can't fault it at all, this has helped with the transition which has been difficult for our family. We would just like to say thank you.

I have found the care excellent over the last few months. Glad to see the absence of agency staff. Pleased to see lots more full-time carers.
All in all, things are looking up. We are very happy for now.

In December 2013 my mother broke her hip and also had haematomas on the brain. Mum underwent surgery and the surgeon told me because of the circumstances and Mum's age we could expect her to get a year at most. In April 2014 a room became available at Drummhor. I wasn't sure about it but after 1 week
Mum was back to her usual self and full of praise for the care staff. Thanks to the diligence, care and loving attention from the care staff Mum enjoys a great quality of life. I can't praise the staff highly enough. For those who like to know these things my mother is well on her way now to the grand old age of101!!. That I think says it all. 5 stars all round.

We as a family have found Drummohr to be a very good nursing home. This was our third placement for our mum and by far she is the happiest she has been. She is settled and the staff are so kind and caring to her. Mum has dementia and as a family who don't live nearby, we feel happy with Mum's care and
know she is content and well looked after.

Mum seems to enjoy her time here. She says everyone is very nice. I find the staff very nice also. I do have an issue with Mum's washing. There is a notice on her toilet door saying that her washing must go home, but often I go and there is no washing there. Then I have to go looking for her clothes
as they seem to go missing.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Drummohr Care Home

Unfortunately this care home experienced a pretty severe drop in standards in 2017, however all agencies have been involved in trying to 'right the ship'. Many improvements have been made and it is to be hoped that progress will continue. Any problems, when drawn to the attention of staff and the temporary
manager, seem to be resolved. 3 years ago the home seemed to be excellent. Hopefully the same high standards can be achieved again.

Staff very welcoming and always with a smile.
Drummohr feels like "a happy home". Dad's weight was very low when we arrived. With the help of masses of good wholesome food and snacks, we see a difference in him. Dad is offered to take part in lots of activities and encouraged with other stuff.
After
years of caring for dad and the challenges that were brought with them, we are now able to just enjoy dad knowing he is in good hands.

My friend was in the above care home just over 15 months and I found she was well cared for. She also enjoyed the food. The entertainment and activities were excellent which all helped her to adjust and enjoy her time there. She as well as her room was kept as clean and tidy as possible. The staff were
all friendly and caring even at difficult times. I think the staff do a marvellous job.

Drummohr Care Home staff are genuinely friendly, caring and endlessly patient. I couldn't wish for a better place for my father, who is not an easy character to deal with. Medical attention is prompt and of a high standard. All my father's wishes and requirements are dealt with promptly and with a total
acceptance of his own peculiar foibles. Standards of cleanliness are also consistently high. I would unhesitatingly recommend Drummohr to anyone who is looking for a care home for a family member.

I am delighted with the care my mum is receiving at Drummhor. The home has a lovely relaxed ambience, a very homely feel. The residents spend time in the lounge where activities take place or some like to sit in the foyer to welcome visitors. The staff are all wonderful and treat all residents with
respect, in fact, they are so very caring. The food is all cooked freshly on the premises great variety, something for everyone and plenty of it. Very clean and no smell.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.332)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.332) 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.332 for Drummohr Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.332

  • 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 15 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 15 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.
