Staff were really welcoming when I went to view facilities, also really good when my father arrived at the care home. The manageress was really helpful when talking through the facilities that the care home offered. Not afraid to approach all staff and management with any issues.

When I go down to see Mum she is always happy and smiling. The carers are great, always popping in to check she is okay. The staff are all very friendly and caring. Mum always has a cup of tea beside her when we visit, which is great as she loves her cups of tea. I look at the menu when we visit and
it looks great.

This home came highly recommended to me by a friend whose Mum was in the home a couple of years ago. It’s early days but what I’ve seen and experienced so far is all good. Mum is starting to settle and the staff are really good with her.

Since Covid, I have noticed some really good changes at Drummohr. The place is a lot more vibrant and my father actually feels part of something and really loves being there. The company seem to have spent money doing the place up, new carpets and paint which is really nice but the biggest difference
is how the staff are now. They appear more engaged, really thorough and caring (not that they weren't before) nothing appears to be too much trouble. After 3 years of turmoil and all the hassle caused by Covid, it's great to see my father so settled and enjoying his days.

We as a family are very happy with the care and support our mum receives. We know we can ask anything of the staff to make Mum comfortable and happy. Mum is treated with respect and dignity and more, or just as, important fun! We feel the one area that could improve is the laundry which comes up short
at times.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Drummohr Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review relating to the level of care at Drummohr Care Home. It is reassuring to hear that you feel your loved one is treated with dignity and respect by the staff group and that you are happy with the level of care and support in the home. I am sorry the laundry arrangements fall short of the standard expected. I will discuss with the housekeeping team suggestions to help us improve in this area. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to make improvements in this area.

Staff keep me well updated on my mum's progress during the recent lockdown. I find the services very helpful and they ease my mind knowing I can't visit myself. I really recommend the care home, the staff are great.

I would just like to say the care home staff are lovely very helpful. They have a nice garden area with a gazebo in place for garden visits so we are shielded from the elements. They have PPE available and access to hand sanitizers, the home is clean and fresh. All staff are doing a great job in this
current situation we are living in at the moment.

My mother moved into Drummohr in January 2019 and she has been well looked after. The managers have been very proactive for my mother's needs and have dealt promptly and enthusiastically with my requests about my mother's needs. The staff/carers have also been attentive and helpful towards my mother.

My grandpa has settled very well into Drummohr Care Home, thanks to the care and attentiveness of the staff. They recognise his needs and he is happy here. I am so impressed by the facilities for residents and visitors. We are able to enjoy quality family time with grandpa, make coffee and play music.
Grandpa was accommodated here at very short notice, which we are very grateful for. He has since moved to a bedroom on a more appropriate floor which he is very happy with. The staff turned this around for him as quickly as they could. Thank you for treating my grandpa with dignity and respect.

My grandpa is staying here and he seems genuinely happy to be here. I love the music/lounge room- he had a big smile on his face while singing along. It makes me happy to see him so comfortable here. Everybody is so friendly and cheerful!

The staff did a great job creating a social area for residents and their families. The celebration of its opening was a very enjoyable day with staff going above and beyond to make the day fun for all the residents.
A lovely team at Drummohr, take time to add personal touches to the care of their
residents.

Excellent care is given to my father in law. Staff can't do enough for us all. Housekeeping staff are great and are always on the go. Staff are always visible, the managers door is always open and she will always give you time when needed or will often just come out to say hello and ask how things are.
The care given to my father in law has been exceptional, we can't fault it at all, this has helped with the transition which has been difficult for our family. We would just like to say thank you.

I have found the care excellent over the last few months. Glad to see the absence of agency staff. Pleased to see lots more full-time carers.
All in all, things are looking up. We are very happy for now.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.284)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.284) out of 10 for Drummohr Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.284 for Drummohr Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.284

  • 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 Drummohr Care Home is based on 12 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 12 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.
