  • 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 5.0 out of 5
My mother was resident at Douglas View care home for 1 week respite care from 13th September to 20th September 2018. During that time she was treated with excellent care and dignity by the staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending Douglas View to anyone. The staff were first class and my mother
left the home in high spirits. Thank you all staff.

Change of management and staff turnover previously now in process of stability.
I myself attempt independence in a lot of areas. This depends on peoples capability which is monitored frequently.
Any changes in circumstances physical or otherwise is noted and acted upon.

Review from R C (Son of Resident) published on 20 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The dementia wards are of a strong urine smell it hits you as you walk through the door. In Avon lounge, it is extremely strong and is right next to the dining room which can't be very nice for the residents to enjoy their meals. Even after new flooring has been put down in the corridors it is still
very unpleasant. When I visit my mother, I always take her into the reception area or outside as the smell is too overpowering, this is something that needs to be addressed ASAP!
The staff are very helpful with information about my mother's care which has helped her to settle very quickly.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Douglas View Care Home

Douglas View is spotless and the staff are very caring. They do a fabulous job and have a lot of empathy toward my sister and let you know everything that we need to know and it's a great place to give encouragement to cook, do washing etc.

Review from John M (Brother of Resident) published on 22 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother is very well looked after by all the staff, he is seen as an individual and part of a large family within the home, it's not a care home IT'S HIS HOME and that's how its managed by management and staff.
The atmosphere within the home since new management came on board is excellent. Open
door policy is great to see, something that wasn't there prior to the new manager coming in.
My brother's home is well decorated, no odours.
My brother has been enjoying several trips out with the activity girl, he loves this and enjoys telling me about it when i visit.
Highly recommend Douglas View.

I have lived in the home for 12 years and enjoy living here. Staff are friendly and caring and look after me well. They help me by taking me shopping and always involved me in things. The new manager is great and making a big difference. There is more activities happening. We are getting out more and
mixing with more people in the home.

I can’t believe how much of a difference a few months can make, the new manager is a breath of fresh air the staff appear happy and content and my relative is well looked after.
Atmosphere in the home is fabulous, and I wish the new manager had came to Douglas view a long time ago.

I visit a friend on a regular basis. The latest upgrade to the home has been excellent. It feels more homely and the residents seem to be enjoying the improvements. In my experience, the residents are treated well and with dignity. The staff members I have had contact with have been polite and very
friendly. Keep up the good work.

I was visiting my friend today and was amazed how wonderful my friend was treated. She was so happy and excited. The staff are first class. When it's my time, I'll definitely be going there. Lovely home from home, marvellous. Thank you all the staff for looking after my dear friend. I thought it was
going to be hard but you made it a lovely new safe home for her.

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.
