Creggan Bahn Court

My experience is as a visitor and very old friend of Andrew. Visiting twice a week most weeks for over two years. "tick" boxes say it all. This is the more commendable for its consistency over time. This speaks to me of the system, leadership and morale of the staff, in spite of all the continual challenges.

My father was a resident at Creggan Bahn from November 2023, when he moved in with mum. Following her death in February 2024, we watched as he carved out a life without her, supported all the way by the superb, utterly caring staff, he absolutely blossomed, enjoying trips out, the tri-shaw trips and was instrumental in the setting up of a pub quiz! Sadly, he passed away in February this year, but he had come to consider Creggan Bahn as home and the staff as his extended family and the love and care they showed to him, went above and beyond, that same love, care and support was also shown to me and my sister, during his illness and after he died. I cannot praise the ethos and standards of Creggan Bahn enough, and their staff are simply the best.

My husband had such a wonderful week's respite earlier on in the year that he was so delighted to be going back in July. He has alzheimers but he constantly talks about Creggan Bahn. It is a beautiful, clean place. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They do lots of activities. I am hoping they have a free week in December to take my husband. He talks about his 5* hotel.

My mum has recently become poorly. The staff have been excellent in supporting her needs in a dignified and caring way. I have been kept up to date with her health and feel that staff really know my mum and that is comforting to know. I'm sure my mum will regain her health as they keep a close eye on how she is. The care home has a nice comforting feel to it, perfect for my mum.

Thanks to Creggan Bahn for everything they did for my mother-in-law. She spent the last 5 years of her life in the most ideal surroundings that me, her daughter and son could wish for. She was cared for so well and developed close friendships with many of the staff which we know meant a great deal to her and us.

with professionalism and a positive attitude

My Dad, who has Alzheimer's disease, is being extremely well cared for at Creggan Bahn. He has improved significantly, both mentally and physically, since arriving from several months in hospital after fracturing his hip. We are very happy with the care he is receiving.

Excellent care provided to my Dad, he has really improved since moving from the hospital to Creggan Bahn. Staff attentive to both my dad and also visitors. Young children were treated to some nice cakes which was a nice touch.

Much appreciated the care provided by all members of staff.

My lifelong friend was a resident in Creggan Bahn for 20 months having been unable to continue in her own home due to dementia and it's attendant problems.. With the outstanding care she received whilst a resident she improved immensely being encouraged to eat regularly, receiving medication timeously and engaging in many stimulating activities to help her achieve a safe and undoubted extension to her life .The care and individual attention to their residents is apparent from the moment you enter the premises. The staff were exceptional at every level and every need attended to. As her Power of attorney, I had the difficult decision to make for her safety and well-being and the choice of Creggan Bahn more than met that requirement. This is a welcoming haven as a feeling of goodwill and kindness permeates throughout , My friend received end of life care in a loving and dignified manner and my wife and I could not have got through these difficult times without the support of everyone.

My mum spent her last year in Creggan Bahn. And what a very happy year it was. The staff from manager to domestic are absolutely top notch. For both residents and visitors (meringues and a cup of tea anyone). Making the decision to put my mum into a care home was the hardest one I've ever made. However, from the very start, I knew we had made the right choice in Creggan Bahn. It felt like home, with the staff as extended family. I think for Mum, we became her second family, with staff being her first. Even in her final hours, the care given to my mum, myself and other family was phenomenal. I would highly recommend anyone making the decision we did, just over a year ago, should have this place at the top of their list. Would give more stars, if I could. Thank you all.

To conclude, Creggan Bahn is a fantastic place to live out the sunset of your life - in luxury with good food and home comforts and with a first class Medical Team who can attend to all your needs.

I have to say that I had reservations about my Mum going into Creggan Bahn as it was so big, I was frightened she would get "lost" as she was more or less confined to bed. I could not have been more wrong. From the very beginning, Mum was so well cared for and, despite having advanced Alzheimer's, she very quickly settled and knew that she was very safe there. She trusted the staff implicitly and they very much became her family, who loved her in return. As well as looking after Mum so well, the staff also looked after those of us who had been caring for Mum up until that point, right to the very end. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, from domestic staff right up to managers. The staff are the epitome of the word care. Words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude towards them all. I cannot recommend this care home and staff highly enough. If I could have given 10 stars, I would

Putting a loved one into a care home is a massive decision for most families but if you find yourself in this position then I couldn't give a higher recommendation than Creggan Bahn Court.

I couldn't have asked for a better care home for my Granny. Creggan Bahn is a wonderful, secure and clean care home where my Granny thrived. Their kind and caring staff are their biggest asset, if I could give more than 5 stars for care and support from their staff I would, they treated my Granny as a family member which put our minds at ease, as well as being kind and supportive to family members whenever we went to visit - thank you.

I could not have wished for a more loving and caring home for my grannie. The last year has been very difficult for our family.... But not for grannie. She was so comfortable and well cared for. They treated her lovingly and respectfully, they became part of our family. Their care didnt stop with grannie, there was always caring ear, shoulder to lean on or a good cup of tea when things seemed tough.

This care home is second to none.

The standard of palliative care at Creggan Bahn is excellent. My mother's needs were anticipated and addressed by the in-house nurses without having to wait for district nurses to arrive. The basic nursing care provided by carers was second to none allowing my mother to have a peaceful and dignified death. I can't thank staff enough.

Very well looked after, had a very big operation on bowel in September. Spent three weeks at Creggan Bahn. My husband has been there for nearly two years.

My dad has been in Creggan Bahn Court for 17 months. He is very well cared for and is happy with his care. One area of improvement would be to stimulate dad more. He loves doing crosswords, playing cards and watching football and cricket on TV. Unfortunately, he no longer does his Herald crossword or read his daily newspaper. It would be great if he could spend more time with able residents.

Our mum moved into Creggan Bahn Court around 3 years ago and very sadly passed away last month. Mum had always very much valued her independence so after a series of falls, hospital stays and becoming wheelchair bound, it was tough for her to give up this independence for full time care. It definitely took time and a few bumps in the road to adjust to a new life dependent on others for just about every basic need. But the care mum received was excellent. However I am almost lost for words to describe just how exceptional the nursing staff were towards the end of mum's life. They made sure mum was always pain free and at the end peaceful and very comfortable. I'm sure most people - as indeed I - had rarely thought about what 'end of life' actually means. All I can say is, you want the kind of experience, expertise and loving care this nursing team devote to you at the end. Their support of us as a family and the care, tenderness and concern for my mum still brings a lump to my throat.
