A very well-run care home. Time is given to the resident's relatives. Residents are treated as individuals and given the necessary attention.
A happy, calm atmosphere prevails in the house.
Very hard-working, lovely staff!

It is the best place to be when we lose our partners. I like living here because the staff are nice and helpful. We go on holiday every year. I go on the bus on my own and come back on my own. We get good food and we can choose.

My sister has lived at Primrose House since 2004, she refers to it as her home. The very helpful, caring and considerate staff treat her with dignity and she is listened to and respected. They tailor her care to her particular needs. Knowing that she is happy, stimulated and safe, means I can sleep
at night and that is a testament to the home, the care they provide and the trust I have in the staff looking after my precious sister.


Throughout the pandemic, we couldn’t visit, however, it was a real comfort knowing I could facetime her at anytime or call and receive regular feedback on how she was doing. The team followed every guidance to keep the house safe, but it was hard not to see her. However, the main priority was to make sure all the residents were safe and protected and because of their hard work, none of the residents caught Covid. I honestly do not know where to begin to thank the manager and his team enough for looking after my sister and her residents.

My relative is a resident at Primrose House and has been for many years now. I am very impressed with the care and understanding she receives there and because of this, she is a very happy person. Primrose House staff have been extremely careful during the time of Covid and have gone above and beyond
their duties while making it their priority to keep the residents safe. I am really grateful to them for the care they have shown my relative throughout this difficult time and indeed at all times. I am always kept informed about any issues or concerns regarding her care which gives me peace of mind. When my relative has been with me for a visit, she is always very excited about going back to Primrose House to see her friends. I have always been happy with her residence there and will continue to be very grateful to them.

My niece has been a resident at Primrose house for over 15 years and is very happy living there. The manager and his wife are extremely caring and have a thorough knowledge of health issues and caring for people. The staff are always bright, cheerful, friendly, kind and helpful. They have been very
thorough throughout the pandemic and introduced new very scrupulous cleaning practices to keep everyone safe and well.


It is reassuring to know that my niece is so well cared for and settled at Primrose House. If I have any questions or worries about her, I can phone the Manager and discuss things. He is always ready to listen and will sort things out with diligence and common sense.
There is a relaxed, homely feel to Primrose House, very much a family atmosphere with the residents and staff. My niece is supported to go to various activities when it is safe and the staff are also very quick to respond to any medical matters and get her the help she needs.

My relative has been a resident at Primrose House for some years now and she is very happy there. It is very welcoming and I am impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the fact that they are always courteous. My concerns and questions are always addressed without delay and if a response cannot
be given straight away I will always be contacted at some point with the information I have been seeking.


What has impressed me most is the care and attention given to the residence during this unforeseen Covid pandemic which has been devastating. The management in Primrose House were very quick to keep the residences safe by locking down very early even before the government put their measures in place. Knowing how vulnerable my relative is gave me peace of mind and reassurance that she would be safe during this uncertain period. I cannot praise Primrose House enough for the care and support they have given my relative and I'm sure she'll continue to be happy there amongst her friends.

My sister is a resident at Primrose House. The care she has received has been exemplary, particularly over the pandemic. They regularly go above and beyond the call of duty. The team are in constant contact with our family so we remain involved in care decisions. They are approachable and friendly.
We are able to see her whenever we wish. My sister is always keen to return after visits home, which for us is the best indication she is happy and well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.083)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.083) out of 10 for Primrose House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 2 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 4.958 for Primrose House is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958

  • 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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Primrose House is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 6 registered maximum number of service users is 1.2, which has been reached with 2 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.
