  • 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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care and support my mother is receiving in this care home has blown me away. The staff are amazing and it is obvious to me the patients are their number one priority. The staff are also very informative and friendly, they always make a point of engaging with relatives and keeping them up to date.
My mother has not been so happy in years, therefore, I know she is being well looked after and is always involved in activities that suit her needs. I can't fault this care home or any of the staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Prior to my brother being a resident he lived in a sheltered complex where he lived a very lonely life. (Not mixing, living in flat daily alone) On arrival at Douglas View Care Home his outlook to live has enlightened me immensly. He loves living in his "space" joining in with the organised events.
All thanks to the caring and professional staff.

My father was a service user at Douglas View. I couldn't fault the care centre in any way. My father's stay was fantastic from the care that was given, to management who supported me and my father in every which way they could, for which I am extremely grateful.

I have struggled to get used to living in the unit. I was used to living with my mother who did the most for me. The staff are smashing and nice. My room is OK though albeit wee. The food is fine and I have no complaints. I have never eaten so much in my life.

Review from A M (Grandson of Resident) published on 3 December 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care and the staff are great along with the activities. The only negatives I have are that sometimes I feel it is a little short staffed. The staff have to spend too much time doing paperwork which I realise is not their fault.
Mixing residents that have slight dementia with residents that only
have physical ailments isn't the greatest situation. All staff are great and make a real effort to make the residents feel at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I regularly visit my sister in Almada Unit. The unit encourages open visiting and I consistently find the unit to be warm, clean and friendly. There is always sufficient staff who welcome me and assist in any request I have, for example, they have coordinated my sister's birthday which was very helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother enjoyed his week's respite at Douglas View. He wishes to return asap! It has greatly improved from his previous stay (2016). The staff are good with him and are most patient. A wee nudge to him to shave and change his clothes would be good.
All in all, a very pleasant experience and we have
put his name down for a permanent place as his condition has deteriorated recently.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) 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 54 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 4.878 for Douglas View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (582 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 646 Ratings = 4.878
  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.
