  • Douglas View Care Home, Hamilton
Douglas View Care Home is located in the heart of Hamilton and offers residents nursing and nursing dementia care in a warm and welcoming environment.

From care assistants and nurses, to wellbeing coordinators and chefs, each and every member of the professional care team is on hand to offer all the support that residents need. Working alongside residents as well as their loved ones, they design personalised and bespoke care plans that help to ensure each person is living life the way they choose, with the peace of mind that their care is always a priority.

Spending time getting to know residents' hobbies and interests allows the team to design a comprehensive activity programme, supporting each person to continue to do the things they love. For residents who are more social, an active involvement in the Hamilton community is also highly encouraged.

A spacious home, Douglas View has a cinema and bar for residents to enjoy as well as a selection of eight sitting rooms, six dining areas, a café and hairdressing salon. The lovely landscaped garden and courtyard, tended by some of the residents, are favourite spots to spend time catching up with friends and family.

Mum has been a resident for 7 years. The staff are fantastic and this has enabled mum to stay well for so long. They know her very well and make sure she is looked after.
Person centred care at its finest. Would recommend to anyone.

You can't put a value on peace of mind knowing that mum is safe, well looked after and mentally stronger means so much to the family. She is happy and content and that means everything to the family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my family are very pleased with the care and attention my husband receives in the Douglas View Care Home. It was his 80th Birthday and they couldn't have done any better for us, the catering was absolutely lovely, banners and balloons and a cake everything you would have got if you had booked
a hall. They have also taken him to Celtic Park and Hamilton Accies. Also, the tribute acts they put on are great. The staff are exceptionally nice and caring. Thank you Douglas View.

My uncle has been at Douglasview for a few months. The staff are excellent, very compassionate, caring and sensitive to his needs. They are very reassuring and helpful to me regarding his condition and are very quick to notify me of anything. I highly recommend Douglasview for any relatives that require
such assistance

Review from S W (Niece of Resident) published on 1 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The care home is satisfactory overall. My personal experience is the staff are very kind and will do anything that you ask for your relative. The cleanliness of the home is satisfactory with room for improvement. The meals are sufficient for the residents and the staff will try to accommodate the residents
as best they can. The home provides some activities but in my opinion, this is where the care home lacks as I feel there isn’t enough to motivate or simulate the residents as I come in and they all just stare at each other. Think they are happy to see members of families coming in to have a blether. The residents could be checked more frequently for incontinence as I have come in and they have had accidents and they haven’t been checked.

My mum has been in Douglas View for 5 months. The staff have been outstanding. The level of care and compassion has been brilliant.
Mum is settling in and the staff are getting in and staff are getting to know Mum's ways.
As a family, we are very happy overall.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Douglas View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.894 for Douglas View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (570 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 622 Ratings = 4.894
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Douglas View Care Home is based on 51 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 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
    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 101 registered maximum number of service users is 20.2, which has been reached with 51 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.
