The team value the importance of visitors in the lives of residents and fully support their right to maintain contact with family, friends, and loved ones. The visitors policy ensures that visits are welcomed, safe, and respectful of each resident’s personal wishes.
Key points of the policy:
Open Visiting: Visitors are welcome at any time, unless a resident personally requests limited visits or there is an outbreak of infection, in which case the home will follow health and safety guidance.
Resident Choice: Each resident can decide who they want to see, and this choice will be recorded in their care plan. If a resident lacks the capacity to make this decision, the Mental Capacity Act will guide the process to ensure visits still support their best interests.
Visitor Registration: All visitors must sign in and out at reception and follow any health and safety procedures in place.
Privacy and Respect: Residents have the right to refuse visitors, and this will always be respected. Visitors will not be allowed into other residents’ rooms without express permission.
Food and Personal Items: Any food or personal items brought in for a resident must be declared to staff to ensure safety and dietary needs are considered.
Infection Control: Visitors who feel unwell, especially with symptoms of transmissible infections (such as flu, COVID-19, or norovirus), are asked to postpone their visit until they are well.
Conflict and Safeguarding: If a visitor’s behaviour poses a risk to residents, staff, or the home environment, management will intervene. In serious cases, visits may be restricted or conditions imposed, with advice from the Safeguarding Team if necessary.
Outbreak Management: In the event of a public health incident, the home will follow local and national guidance, offering alternatives like video calls or window visits if needed.
Feedback and Complaints: Visitors are encouraged to provide feedback and raise any concerns, which will be handled through the Complaints, Suggestions and Compliments Policy.
Our goal is to make every visit a positive, safe, and supportive experience for all.

We are sorry for your distress, and we assure you that we take these matters very seriously. Here are our responses to each of your points:
Staff Training: Our staff, including nurses, are well-trained to care for residents with various health conditions, including grade 4 pressure sores. We follow the latest guidelines and best practices in wound care management. We collaborate with other agencies, and we did so on this occasion. There were care plans in place and they were regularly updated due to the complexity of the care required. It is also important to recognise that the sores were not acquired from the home, but from the hospital and they had been recurrent for several years.
Call Bell: The call bell was always in place. We had a conversation with your brother, who has full capacity, and he understood that he would be liable for the cost of replacing the call bells after breaking several of them. He agreed to this willingly and apologised.
Staff Conduct: We maintain a strict code of conduct for our staff, which includes treating all residents with respect and dignity. Any behaviour contrary to this is unacceptable. This was a matter that was not reported to the home. Your brother had many positive relationships with the staff and he considered many of them as his friends. He also had full capacity to raise any concerns himself.
Manager Availability: My role involves various responsibilities, including meetings. However, we understand the importance of being available for residents and their families. I will however take this opportunity to point out that your brother explicitly requested that you have no involvement in his care or access to any information about him.
Repositioning Residents: Our staff are trained to use safe and appropriate techniques when repositioning residents. It would have been impossible for this to be done without the help of two or more staff due to the complex needs and body mass index (BMI) of your brother. His care plans were extensive and detailed this requirement. Since you had no involvement in his care, I am unsure how you could make such claims.
We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services. We are committed to providing the highest level of care.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10 for Primrose Hill Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.673 for Primrose Hill Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.673
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 Primrose Hill Nursing Home is based on 13 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 13 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2021
My professional career in care stretches back to over 18 (eighteen) years. I started out as a career, supporting people with various requirements and ensuring that they had everything that they needed. This experience has taught me a lot about the care and what is involved in promoting independence and person-centred care.
I am always keen to encourage my team and help them to learn from the experiences that I have had. Over the years I have grown and developed, and I now hold my QCF Level 5 (five) Management Award. Over the years I have travelled the country to support the companies that I have worked for, I am a firm believer that there are processes to follow and I instil this wherever I am. I have been a registered manager for the past 3 (three) years, specialising in Dementia and Clinical Needs for the people I support, something that is personally close to my heart. My personal goal is to ensure that everyone receives the care that they are entitled to, with their wishes and past life experience at the forefront of their care plan.
