What a wonderful nursing home, my mum has been in there a few years now. All the staff take good care of her, especially the activities coordinator, always making sure my mum has something to occupy her like playing dominoes, bingo, colouring and lately she has started to knit again. Mum looks forward
to seeing the live entertainment each week and having her hair done by the hairdresser that visits the home.
I can recommend this nursing home for all the personal touches they give every resident like having a birthday party for each and every one of them.

After caring for my nan for the last few years finding a care home that I trusted to meet all her needs was far from easy. However I can now comfortably say I feel very well assured knowing she is in the care of all the lovely staff at Hamilton. She initially stayed for respite and during that time
we definitely had our worries about certain aspects of the care, however after raising our concerns the team took action and responded accordingly. Since her being in permanently, we have been won over by the kindness of all the staff who are always willing to help. Through the activities the home shows great initiative, creativity and stimulation for the residents, which is one of the things that stood out to us at first and we can definitely say that we continue to be impressed. With my nan only being in there a few months and with the pandemic putting restrictions on things, it is hard to give a holistic review but from what we have seen we are very happy and thankful to all the staff.

Unfortunately, my mother was admitted right at the start of Covid (March 20), so I have not had the opportunity of having a "proper" view of all the facilities. However, what I will say is that all the staff are extremely caring and that the environment is a happy one. The staff are accommodating, and
nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.

My mother was transferred from Hospital to Hamilton Nursing Home during the pandemic in 2020. She had suffered from dementia for many years and after a fall that made her wheelchair-bound plus a diagnosis of terminal cancer we had to come to terms with no longer being able to care for her ourselves.

The whole team have been dedicated to not only providing the care Mum needs but also to support us as a family during this difficult time. They are always on hand to provide information and reassurance and are committed to making every individual's experience the best it can be. They have shown Mum great affection and have treated her with love, kindness and respect.
The social activities programme is excellent and the App allows us to be in spontaneous communication with Mum and the staff throughout the day. We feel completely confident that Mum is receiving the best possible care and thank you all so much for looking after her so well.

I have been visiting my husband in Hamilton for four years, and he has recently needed a lot more care. The staff have always gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and looked after. I know times have been really hard for all of us lately, especially the staff. The care given to my husband and
the rest of the residents has been second to none. They have been working really hard to make sure our loved ones are trying to carry on normally and helping us to see our family each week. The weekly emails to keep us up to date are invaluable. Having activities every day also helps the residents. My thanks to everyone at Hamilton.

Reply from Aileen Nimmo, Sales & Marketing at Hamilton Nursing Home

My mother is unusual. Not a general mixer but if comfortable and with the right level of formality which drops when she allows it, she is great fun. She is very specific about what she will and won't eat, how she wears her hair and how she is addressed.
All my life I dreaded the moment she would be
beyond my ability to care for but the day I stepped across the threshold and met the first member of staff I was stunned - it wasn't what I expected. He was charming, polite, genuine... and that has been the case across the company.
I've asked for all sorts of social adaptations for my mother, even down to asking for specific food which the manager has even gone out and bought herself.
Throughout the Covid-19 crisis, I was worried. Mum had never been without family for three months. But they kept her in contact with me via Skype, I organised deliveries of magazines which arrived regularly and regularly they emailed to tell me. The extra effort the team put in is what makes Hamiltons very special.

My wife has been a resident in the home for 20 months now. I think the overall care has deteriorated in the time but I think this is due to the difficulty of recruiting and retaining care staff. There are very few of the original staff remaining and care from the agency staff varies enormously. I'm
sure none of these views are new to you.

My father has been a resident for three months and has settled well and appears very content. Staff are always welcoming and appear enthusiastic about their roles and well supported by the management team. The interaction between staff and residents is positive and every effort is made to be responsive
to the residents' needs. My father has benefited enormously from the activities programme which is well structured and offers a variety of experiences. I feel that his level of physical and mental functioning has benefited from this stimulation and the reassurance of having support on hand 24 hours a day. When asked what he thought about the care at Hamilton he said: “You would have to try very hard to get better than this” - which sums it up perfectly.

My mother-in-law was fortunate to be a resident at Hamilton House for eight years and in all that time, we got to know the home very well, including staff and management.
Not once in all that time did we have cause for complaint, in fact, we have nothing but admiration for the work they do but more
importantly, the way they do it with patience and understanding.
When my Mother-in-law died at the home, it was then that the staff and management showed such compassion and care towards our family that it helped us to get through such a traumatic time, something we will forever be thankful for. It is such things that memories are made of.
Thank you once again for eight years of care, kindness and professionalism

My mother spent the last few months of her life in Hamilton Nursing Home and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. At all times, my mother was treated with great care and affection by all the staff. All the staff performed with true professionalism which was a comfort to know that my mother was

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.763)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.763) out of 10 for Hamilton Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.763 for Hamilton Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.763

  • b) 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 Hamilton Nursing Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
