Review from M M (Sister of Resident) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff always courteous and helpful when I interact with them, only fortnightly visits (caring duties at home). I find everything appears calm and in order. Waking my sister she greets everyone with a big smile so I take it she is happy with staff as she speaks only a few words necessitating reading
her facial expressions. Dental hygiene improves when I have had to point out gum condition a known problem. I find laundry hard on clothes, shrinking them, some get damaged and named socks go missing. It would be helpful for enquiries if phone signal covered all areas of Glendun.

My husband is a resident of Camphill Care Home Ballymena, and was a farmer until 4 years ago.
There is nothing going on for the farmer, such as videos of one man and his dog working with sheep. He also likes motorbike racing and motor racing, and nature programmes. Unless staff put on a new tube for
him, he doesn't know how to do that. I hope these come into action soon.

When I come to visit my friend, it is like calling into a friends house. The atmosphere is very welcoming and all the staff are very caring to both me and my friend. I can see the rapport they have with all the patients. The home is very clean and staff give me tea too. There are a lot of activities
and the residents are encouraged to take part. The music is a valuable part of the day.

My mum has been a resident in Camphill Care Home since April 2021. I have never had any concerns at all as all the staff, from cleaners to care staff to the nurses, have all been brilliant! The care and attention she receives is 100% every week. There is some form of entertainment and there is always
someone ready to have a chat or a joke with every resident.

Review from Lorraine W (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Camphill in January 2019 as she has a lot of medical issues and was afraid of falls at home. It was her decision to move and chose Camphill because she was familiar with it, my late father in law was a resident there and my late father also resided there in 2004. All the staff have
become a 2nd family to her. They care for her medical needs and ensure she is happy and mentally stimulated. I am fully informed regarding her care and staff ensure my questions are dealt with. I am very happy with her care.

My family and I have been extremely happy with the care of our mother/wife at Camphill Care Home. We have found the staff to be very caring, compassionate and friendly. They are taking excellent care of our loved one and it's lovely to have piece of mind, especially during the pandemic when we are unable
to get into the home for regular visits. Our mum/wife is clearly happy and content. We have also been pleased with the high level of cleanliness at the home.

Staff and management at Camphill are very helpful, friendly and caring. They go out of their way to ensure all needs of the resident are met both physically and emotionally. Nothing is too much trouble. They keep the family well informed and follow up quickly on any medical or personal issues. Newly
set up visits have been well-conducted and very safe. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Camphill is a wonderful care home. The staff are extremely caring, thoughtful, approachable and sensitive to the needs of the residents. The attention and level of care my aunt receives is excellent. The new arrangements for visiting since restrictions have eased are very well organised and safe. I

My aunt has been staying in Camphill Care Home for a number of years and we as a family feel very lucky that she is so well cared for and treated so kindly. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. During COVID times they are very careful to ensure that no COVID is brought in by visitors and we are
thankful for this protection of residents.

Daddy transferred to Camphill from another nursing unit and he has greatly improved as there is more stimulation for him at Camphill. He has a "thing" about his teeth and loses them regularly but the girls/staff keep an eye on them now. He has his tin whistle and plays a wee bit which is great. He loves
his music and we continue to bring it to him.

Transferred from another home and has been doing well since we don't find him sitting sleeping. Every day now when we come in, he was always building a puzzle. Today when we were in, he was alert and talking to us with sense.

I have found care assistants very competent, caring and friendly to residents and visitors. Nursing staff competent and caring, they deal with any issues promptly and keep me informed of any changes in my ex-husband's condition and visits by other professionals. Domestic staff are very thorough in their
work providing an excellent standard of hygiene. Food appears appetising and activities provided for my ex-husband's needs.


The manager seems very hands-on and deals with any concerns.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.779) out of 10 for Camphill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.593 for Camphill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.593
  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 4.186 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Camphill Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.486
  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.
