Review from Orla W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband's Mum was a resident of El Shammah since Spring 2024. From the outset, the standard of care was exceptional. My Mum in Law was given menu choices to suit her palate, endless cups of tea and biscuits: ideal as food was a big motivator for her,! She received assistance with her activities of daily living - as and when required and requested.
Her care was handled extremely respectfully- allowing her to maintain her dignity and independence.
Her room and ensuite bathroom was always immaculately clean.
Her laundry was taken care of in a first class manner.
Most importantly though- The Staff. Every single staff member always greeted you with a welcoming smile. Their diligence with my mother in law's health requirements was second to none. In the event of any fluctuation in her health status, they informed us immediately and acted in her best interests.

We want to thank you all for making the last year and a half of her life safe, fulfilled and happy

Review from Mervyn M (Son of Resident) published on 5 October 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Whilst the care provided by the staff was in the majority very good we found that the actual wellbeing of the residents was not a priority in the home. Management's focus is on ensuring that the systems and processes are all in place that ensure excellent home inspections are achieved. There is a total lack of any kind of stimulation provided for the residents with many confined to their rooms for long periods. It was a great relief for all the family when we managed to secure a place in another home for my father.

Reply from Adrian McCready, Manager at El-Shammah

We are delighted to hear that you felt the care provided by our staff was very good. It is also reassuring that you appreciate us taking our legal requirements seriously, and our endeavours to fully comply with all legal obligations as set down by Care Homes Standards and Northern Ireland Acts....
