Drovers Call

The manager is definitely worth being recognised for running a lovely home.

I have spent a week in this care home on respite care. Initially, I found it difficult because of being used to having a one to one relationship at home with my wife, but soon settled in and have enjoyed my stay. The staff are friendly and supportive and the food very good, and if I have had a problem it has quickly been sorted out. My stay here has been quite pleasant and I wouldn't hesitate to return if the need arises.

Drovers Call offers a bright, clean home with pleasant, attentive staff. My aunt has settled in well and her needs are being well met. She has flourished after moving here.

The manager and her team were absolutely first class in caring for my grandfather after he became very poorly, we were upset about putting him into a nursing home as he isn't the nursing home type, however, the whole care team at Drovers Call exceeded our expectations. The manager is extremely hands-on and throughout what was a very stressful and emotional time we were offered whatever we needed without any hesitation. The Managing Director of the company even took the time to visit our room and introduce himself to me and my mother and to see if we required anything, one of the care team also came in on her day off to check on and sit with my grandfather for the best part of an hour which showed how much they care. Home is spotlessly clean, care standards are way above what we expected, food excellent. What more can I say other than it was the best choice we could have made, thank you, thank you, thank you, Drovers Call. May we wish you all the best for the future.

My mum has been moved on from several homes which couldn't cope with her behaviour. I would have no hesitation in recommending Drovers Call.

It has always met mums needs, with excellent staff care, good food and generally looking after her with considerable care. The was before the change to small self-contained wings, with virtually 121 care. The change is very impressive, creating an even better environment for residents and staff. My praise is well deserved. A happy and safe environment.

This is the second time my husband has been to stay at Drovers after a spell in hospital. The welcome (to both of us) was genuine and he immediately settled in. The staff (both old ones he had met before and new ones) are exceptional doing their very best to help him get his strength and confidence back. I think it takes very special people to fo this job of caring and they have them at Drovers. I am made very welcome when I go every afternoon and I know the welcome is genuine.

Very satisfactory.

It is very hard to put into words what a special place the Drovers Call Nursing Home is. Where to start? From the warm, friendly welcome and much-needed cup of tea when we very first visited the home, to the feeling of care and compassion for the extended family unit during our time there. The level of service and care has been constant and excellent. The staff, from the manager to the maintenance engineer, have been professional and caring and the home-cooked food has been delicious and lovingly prepared. Although not needed in our case, the activities for the residents are wide ranging and plentiful. I enjoyed coming into contact with several residents and during our chats as I came and went, they were friendly, happy and engaged.

ABOVE & BEYOND!!!

Thank you to the Manager and her experienced professional team at Drovers Call for the exceptional levels of care that were given to my father. I was recommended to consider Drovers Call by a trusted friend.

Initially reluctant to consider nursing homes I met the Manager at Doncaster Hospital to assess my father. I felt confidence in her judgement instantly, she clearly identified dads needs and with her warm, friendly and compassionate nature I knew this felt right.

At such a difficult time we felt supported in every way. I cannot fault how he was cared for, I want to thank every member of the team from the carers, nursing staff to the kitchen team and cleaners who were so respectful to my father, myself and my family. We were offered anything we needed, nothing was too much trouble.

Drovers Call was a perfect choice and I cannot thank them enough. 5-star service, it is important to me to make my experience known to all, thank you again for everything.

There is everything you could wish for, for care. It is faultless.

My husband was settled in well with his own en suite room and staff were attentive to his needs dietary and personal care. Staff are polite and caring and have a happy demeanour. Its obvious that the staff are efficient and available at all times for the residents. They spend time talking to them, the day is organised to a high standard.

I am delighted to see such caring and compassionate staff with a real personal touch. I have visited friends and relatives in many care homes but I can honestly say that I have never encountered such a personal touch. The manager has a true vocation for empowering staff and this shines through. On my first visit, a member of staff told me it was like a family. It really is. This is the best care home I have seen.

We know he is in a safe environment and is well cared for and is happy.

Nothing is too much trouble for both the staff and management. My father is a resident and my mum was until her recent death. I don't know what I would have done without their support for myself and my father and family. They all feel like a part of our family and my dad is so happy in the nursing home. When my mum was dying, they were fantastic, feeding us and making a room up for us. Mum's funeral went from there and they prepared drinks for everyone. Brilliant!

Since my father came to this care home I have found the staff helpful and understanding of my father's needs. He has suffered many falls prior to his arrival and now the carers have been able to manage his dementia/problems very well. I am very pleased with the care he is now receiving and would like to thank the manager and all her staff for their hard work.

My husband moved to Drovers Call after a bad experience in another home. He settled in and was happy from the very first. Unfortunately his condition has worsened and he is now end of life care. The compassion from all members of staff has been impeccable, he is calm and comfortable with no pain, this is what I wanted for him.

My dad was sent here from another care home onto the secure unit. The care he is receiving is wonderful, second to none! I would highly recommend anyone using this care home because their loved ones will be treated with dignity and respect. Now my dad has reached end of life care, the support we have received has been amazing for him and my family.
