My mother receives excellent care at Drunconner in the last months of her life. The staff were very caring and her every need was catered for.
Her room was large with space for her own bits and pieces - a fact that was much appreciated.

It's friendly. Very clean and hygienic.


It's well managed. 2 options on the lunch menu, maybe more vegetarian options. Deserts are very good. They make the best soups!


Every meal could be later.


Last had a drink at 8-8.30 pm.

Our mum enjoyed being in Drumconner so very much, all the staff were kind and very caring to her.


Drumconner is such a special home and we would like to take her there again and we know she would like to go back, if possible over Christmas if there is a room available for her.


Thank you so very

much to you all.

This is a very good nursing home specialising in the care of frail people at the end of their life, although some are younger - the house has been attractively decorated with a lot of thought but manages to look homely as well. My husband arrived here from hospital on 27th June 2017 with vascular dementia
and many other problems. He is unable to walk, feed himself and incontinent. I see him every day - the staff treat him with skill, kindness and patience. Many are young and have to face distressing situations as well as the matron, her assistant and the staff in general, all must be praised. I would be distraught if my husband had to move.

Lovely comfortable accommodation. Very good attention at night especially. Staff - kind and helpful. Very clean home, I find the food not always to my liking but on request, personal choices are as far as possible, made to suit.
Often a very long wait before a call bell is answered - up to 25 minutes.
My opinion is that the home is understaffed. Also, too much paperwork necessary which prohibits nurses nursing, because not enough time.

Even with the major extension works being carried out lots of disruption in most areas the staff are fantastic at all times. My dad couldn't be treated any better I know he is safe and well looked after what more can you want.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.384)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.384) out of 10 for Drumconner Homes Lancing is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.917 for Drumconner Homes Lancing is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.467 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Drumconner Homes Lancing is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.667

  • 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.
