Wife admitted to Drummohr Care Home very recently. So far I have found all members of staff to be extremely helpful and kind not only to my wife but to our entire family. I am always made to feel welcome.

In December 2013 my mother broke her hip and also had haematomas on the brain. Mum underwent surgery and the surgeon told me because of the circumstances and Mum's age we could expect her to get a year at most. In April 2014 a room became available at Drummhor. I wasn't sure about it but after 1 week
Mum was back to her usual self and full of praise for the care staff. Thanks to the diligence, care and loving attention from the care staff Mum enjoys a great quality of life. I can't praise the staff highly enough. For those who like to know these things my mother is well on her way now to the grand old age of101!!. That I think says it all. 5 stars all round.

We as a family have found Drummohr to be a very good nursing home. This was our third placement for our mum and by far she is the happiest she has been. She is settled and the staff are so kind and caring to her. Mum has dementia and as a family who don't live nearby, we feel happy with Mum's care and
know she is content and well looked after.

Mum seems to enjoy her time here. She says everyone is very nice. I find the staff very nice also. I do have an issue with Mum's washing. There is a notice on her toilet door saying that her washing must go home, but often I go and there is no washing there. Then I have to go looking for her clothes
as they seem to go missing.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Drummohr Care Home

Unfortunately this care home experienced a pretty severe drop in standards in 2017, however all agencies have been involved in trying to 'right the ship'. Many improvements have been made and it is to be hoped that progress will continue. Any problems, when drawn to the attention of staff and the temporary
manager, seem to be resolved. 3 years ago the home seemed to be excellent. Hopefully the same high standards can be achieved again.

Staff very welcoming and always with a smile.
Drummohr feels like "a happy home". Dad's weight was very low when we arrived. With the help of masses of good wholesome food and snacks, we see a difference in him. Dad is offered to take part in lots of activities and encouraged with other stuff.
After
years of caring for dad and the challenges that were brought with them, we are now able to just enjoy dad knowing he is in good hands.

My friend was in the above care home just over 15 months and I found she was well cared for. She also enjoyed the food. The entertainment and activities were excellent which all helped her to adjust and enjoy her time there. She as well as her room was kept as clean and tidy as possible. The staff were
all friendly and caring even at difficult times. I think the staff do a marvellous job.

Drummohr Care Home staff are genuinely friendly, caring and endlessly patient. I couldn't wish for a better place for my father, who is not an easy character to deal with. Medical attention is prompt and of a high standard. All my father's wishes and requirements are dealt with promptly and with a total
acceptance of his own peculiar foibles. Standards of cleanliness are also consistently high. I would unhesitatingly recommend Drummohr to anyone who is looking for a care home for a family member.

I am delighted with the care my mum is receiving at Drummhor. The home has a lovely relaxed ambience, a very homely feel. The residents spend time in the lounge where activities take place or some like to sit in the foyer to welcome visitors. The staff are all wonderful and treat all residents with
respect, in fact, they are so very caring. The food is all cooked freshly on the premises great variety, something for everyone and plenty of it. Very clean and no smell.

My gran entered in to Drummohr on 23/12/15 with history of low quality care and a very anxious family. My gran is diagnosed with dementia. I myself work in care and have experienced this industry in various locations and numerous roles and I am in awe at the way the manager runs the care home- creating
a loving and welcoming environment at all times. The manager is so hands on making sure she is familiar with every guest and their families between her and the senior carer my gran has come on extraordinarily, they have literally given her her life back. They do not label my gran as another lady with dementia, they see the person that she was and is. I am so grateful to the staff at Drummohr especially the manager and other staff who deal with her on a regular basis, keeping her safe and happy, all that we want and more.

My mum (age 89) has been a resident in Drummohr for nearly 2 years. I had a great deal of fear and trepidation when I first arranged for her care in the home. Mum has Alzheimer's is doubly incontinent and has severe impairment of intelligence. However she has not deteriorated that much in the 2 years
thanks to the care she receives from the home. I visit her every week for 2 hours and see first hand the hard work/care that goes on which I will describe:
"Happy atmosphere", "Plenty of activities", "Clean facilities-bathes/showers/wet rooms".
"Pleasant staff", "Lovely one to ones with staff and mum".
"Treat mum with dignity when attending to her incontinence need", "Lovely meals- staff encourage/help mum to eat", "Mum has good mobility so is able to go to tea dances, shopping trips with staff in the homes mini bus".

For my aunts birthday, the family had planned to take her out for a meal, but unfortunately she wasn't fit enough. Instead the staff arranged for us to use the private room and they supplied all the food including her cake. Thank you Drummohr Care Home.

Mum has moved into Drummohr Care Home in December 2015 when it became apparent that the residential care home where she stayed could no longer give her the care she needed. She was diagnosed with alzheimers in 2008 and her behaviour was becoming very challenging. I have found the staff very good and
very professional when working with mum. The staff are very helpful and willing to listen to any concerns I have, either about mum or myself. I am very happy with the care mum receives.

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.
