I consider my experience in Creggan Bahn Court to be very positive. The staff are very professional in their outlook. As in most care homes, staffing is an issue. They are very hard to find! The environment in Creggan is very relaxed, and the layout and communal areas are first-class. Certainly far
more superior to my previous nursing home.

Dad's room is gorgeous. Scattered lounges provide a choice for a quiet chat, concert, or cup of tea with tasty home baking! The maintenance, laundry and kitchen staff are super-efficient and provide a warm, spotless, and healthy home with outstanding meals. The activities team are full of energy and
ideas and has a strong commitment to the individual. The carers and team leaders have an impressive level of cheeriness in their demanding roles. They work extremely hard to gain Dad's trust and in understanding his needs. I love that they show interest in his past as well as his ever-changing present. He describes them as super. The nursing team are professional, highly proactive and fierce in their determination to enable the best recovery possible. The management is excellent, highly experienced, committed and responsive. The culture they instil is evident from the moment you arrive. Having helped relatives into 8 other Homes across the UK none have provided better care than Creggan Bahn.

My dad has been a resident in Creggan Bahn for the last couple of years and my mum lived there from 2017, having suffered a stroke, until she died in September 2021. My dad has dementia which has been worsening over recent months. I have to say that the care that they have received from the staff at
Creggan Bahn has been exceptional, even through the difficult times during the height of the Covid pandemic. The end-of-life care for Mum demonstrated the commitment and genuine care of the staff to the residents and also to us as a family dealing with the loss of one of our parents. I live locally and regularly visit and take my dad out for walks (in his wheelchair) and I realise how fortunate he is to live there with such good access to nice level routes for pushing the wheelchair along the seafront with a good range of cafes nearby. Dad is clearly happy living there. I would have no hesitation in recommending Creggan Bahn as a care home.

We are both delighted with the exceptional quality of care and support offered at Creggan Bahn. From day one, we have both been warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Staff have made great efforts to get to know my husband as an individual, to find out his preferences and the very best ways to care
for him. Everyone is incredibly patient and kind, never rushing my husband, always going at his pace and taking the time to listen and understand. They are a happy staff with a great sense of fun - peals of laughter are often heard from his room as jokes are shared, and staff tap into his sense of humour. Creggan Bahn feels like a family home - it is warm and welcoming and safe and fun - but it is also professional and purposeful, with a hardworking and committed staff who operate as a team to create something that really is quite special in every way. We feel blessed to have become part of this wonderful establishment - a haven for my husband and my second home. They deserve every accolade.

My mum has been in Creggan Bahn now for 12 months following a spell in hospital after a stroke and heart attack. She was very poorly when she went in, and the staff were amazing with Mum, giving her such a warm welcome and great nursing/medical care.
Creggan Bahn has so many wonderful staff who are
all very kind and caring. I feel Mum is very safe living there, and we are confident she is being well looked after both from a medical and quality of life point of view.
The home is lovely, and staff go out of their way to meet the requirements of the residents even when that is out of their normal procedures - they flex according to the needs of each resident.
The manager is super responsive to any comments or feedback, and the whole ethos is a very caring yet professional approach.
I dont have any experience with other care homes, but from talking with people who have, I feel very lucky that Mum is where she is.
A big thank you to all the staff and the management team.

Creggan Bahn Court is the third care home Mum has been in, so I have some basis for comparison. It is, without doubt, the best of the three. The overall attitude of the carers, nursing and management staff is very supportive. They have always been happy to listen and act on any issue I've raised. I
genuinely feel that the staff want to do their best for the residents and make life as good as it can be. As an example, on Sunday afternoon we took Mum out and ended up coming back a bit later than planned (past the start of dinner time). However, Mum and I were warmly welcomed at the front door, with several carers asking how we had got on. One of her carers then immediately went off to find out about getting Mums dinner tray brought to her room. There was no issue about us being late back, and everyone was just pleased that she had managed to get out and had a good time. It's wee things like that which make the difference and make me so grateful that we got her into this care home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Creggan Bahn Court 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.856 for Creggan Bahn Court is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.856

  • 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 Creggan Bahn Court is based on 18 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
