  • 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.

Since my mum became part of the Douglas View family I have seen how Mum has enjoyed a new lease of life. Mum has a wonderful relationship with Douglas View staff, who are very friendly and attentive. Staff are always very approachable and knowledgeable and my mum always reacts positively when staff
interact with my mum. I would highly recommend Douglas View to anyone looking to find a safe and welcoming environment for a loved one.

My mother has been given the most amazing welcome by staff and residents since her recent arrival at Douglas View Care Home. The warmth, friendliness and compassion of staff have helped my mum settle in extremely quickly and after only one week I already see an improvement in her.

Mum has been a resident now for nearly five years. Although there have been challenging times for a variety of reasons, she and I feel part of the Douglas View family. The home is continually striving to improve and I wish them well for the future.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad has been in the home for two and a half years now and all the staff continue to support him with dignity and love.
The kindness over the last four weeks, when he was particularly ill, that they showed to Dad and myself will never be forgotten. Everyone in the unit, including the office staff, always
show patience and reassurance to both Dad and myself.
The staff continue to love and support Dad like one of their own.

Coming in here gave me my life back. I can't change what happened this place saved me after my mum passed away. My main goal is to one day go home and be a full-time mum again. I thank this place and all the staff for helping me get my life sorted and back again. I owe this place, Douglas View, my life.
Thank you so much.

I had 2 brain aneurysms and I don't remember coming in here but I am a bit better now and the staff are truly wonderful and so very kind to us all. I don't know what we all would have done without our kind and caring staff each and every one of them. A massive thank you from me to our wonderful, kind
and caring staff. God bless you all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 49 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 4.846 for Douglas View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (526 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 598 Ratings = 4.846
  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 49 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 49 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.
