Kind Words From
Residents and Loved Ones
D C (Son of Resident) via carehome.co.uk
My father moved into Drumconner Bournemouth three years ago. From the onset, he has had exceptional outstanding care!
As a former healthcare professional myself, I found it extremely difficult to find somewhere that would meet my father’s needs. He has complex communication issues and needs a lot of
support. Drumconner has been a fantastic place for us as a family and my dad's needs. It has allowed us all to live our lives, knowing he is taken care of in such a wonderful way and the home can communicate with him just as I do. He and I are involved in all aspects of his care.
Not only do they support my father, they support me as well which has been a godsend since my mother died. The home is run by a very supportive manager and senior nursing team. The food here is absolutely world-class with local meat coming from the butcher and cheeses coming from the local pantry in the village.
Thank you for such wonderful care and service.
Jane S (Daughter of Resident) via carehome.co.uk
We were lucky enough to have been able to get my father-in-law transferred from another nursing home in a different part of the country to Drumconner for palliative care. We can not thank the general manager and her team enough for all that they did for him during the five weeks he was there.
The day that we arrived with him, the general manager and some of her team all came to say hello to him whilst we sat in the lounge with a cup of tea and cake. They made him feel so welcome and they did everything that they could for him to make his time there as comfortable as possible.
During our visits with him we were lucky enough to meet a lot of the staff and I can honestly say that they genuinely love what they do and that comes across when you see the care that they give all of the residents. I know that he was so happy that he was there and so were we.
Thank you General Manager and your amazing team, we are eternally grateful to you all for looking after him like you did. You are all truly very special people.
C B (Daughter of Resident) via carehome.co.uk
Drumconner is an excellent care home. The building itself is more like a hotel, and the staff are brilliant. With an excellent entertainment program and great food, it is a proper "home" for the residents. As a relative, we can be as involved as we like, and we are kept fully informed about our loved ones.
The manager, nursing, care and admin staff are all fantastic and committed to continuous improvement. Having experienced other care homes, I am so glad that my step-mother is at Drumconner.
Jonathan P (Father of Resident) via carehome.co.uk
My son has been there since January and it's the best move he's ever had. The staff are amazing, he is so well looked after and cared for. We feel it's safe for him being there.
From management down to domestic staff they are all so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Couldn't recommend
this care home enough.
