My mum had been with you for almost a year and throughout that time she has received wonderful and loving care. She was spoken to as an adult, I never heard one staff member talk to her using child-like language, it was always adult to adult. They adapted their physical care to meet the needs of my
mum as she physically became more poorly. No matter who the staff member was or their role within the team, they all were caring and had time for her, no one rushed in and out of her room. I know I cannot name names but the care my mum received on the morning of her passing from the four night staff was exemplary.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose House

Primrose House has made the transition from home to care easy for me and my parents. The environment is welcoming, encouraging, and supportive, especially when we are feeling anxious about leaving our loved ones with strangers. Believe me, strangers soon become friends and we feel we are part of the
Danforth family. Although my parents have only been in for respite, so far, we had no hesitation in getting them booked in again. It's a home-from-home environment with a luxury hotel feel, making respite care feel like a holiday.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose House

Thank you for your wonderful review and welcome to the Danforth Family. I am so pleased your parents enjoyed their respite stay with us and it gave you peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We will look forward to welcoming them back when they need another break. Thank you.

I went into the home for respite care. The staff were all brilliant, attentive, polite and exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble. My room was well equipped and cleaned daily. Any emergencies were dealt with quickly and sympathetically. The meals were varied, well cooked and seemed to
cater for all tastes. I was fortunate to have chosen this outstanding establishment.

We have been really impressed with the welcome, service and care for mother (in-law) at Primrose House. We had an emergency at home and she had to be admitted as a result of husband carer becoming incapacitated. We live 200 miles away with the rest of the family living in the USA. But we had done our
research and pre-visited Primrose in 2023 where we had met one of the staff members. Within 2 hours of us calling for help, this staff member had visited MIL at home, arranged assessment and contracts. She was admitted that afternoon and we were able to rest knowing she was being cared for while husband in hospital. She has Alzheimer's and gets very confused. But the team at Primrose have been amazing. They have kept up the communication with us and the respite care she received couldn't have been better. Thank you.

We put Mother in Primrose House in Brough for some rest-bite care while Father was in hospital - the care she received from the manager and the team was second to none - it was good to know that my mother was in great hands and being looked after in such a caring way.

During the Christmas period, on Christmas Eve morning (Sunday), I was seeking a rehabilitation centre urgently for my mother. Primrose team were helpful and understood our needs. Pre-assessment was carried out on the same day at the hospital where my mother was recovering from a back operation. She
was transferred on Boxing Day. For the past two weeks, Primrose House team have cared for and looked after my mum fantastically. She is now well enough to return to her home. Primrose was highly recommended by my friends. Primrose House team helped my disabled mum to settle and feel loved and cared for. The Primrose team is what makes this care/nursing home so great.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose House

Thank you for your wonderful review; I am so pleased the team were able to act so quickly and get Mum settled into Primrose House.

I found the staff to be excellent. From the initial visit to my mum's house and throughout her time in the home, they have been great. The home is really high quality, an excellent building newly opened with excellent facilities. All the staff I have come across have been helpful and supportive.

Mum stayed at Primrose House for three weeks of respite care. The care and support Mum received was second to none. Everyone is so kind and friendly. Mum felt at home straight away.

This is a lovely home, very clean, modern and well-designed.
The room is a good size and the en suite with a great walk-in shower.
There is no hospital feel about the place, it feels much more like a hotel.
The staff were all lovely and very attentive. I am relieved that my mum is being cared for
to this level.
Thank you to all of you.

I went to see my grandad in the care home for the first time today. I was pleasantly surprised with how amazing the staff were and how happy my grandad was at the care home. I feel so relieved knowing he is in such good hands and I know the staff at Primrose House will be able to cater to all of their
needs.

My mum has settled into Primrose House extremely quickly and is happier than I have seen her in a very, very long time. It is clear that the whole team understand what is important to her and the personalised care she receives as a result is outstanding. Everyone is extremely friendly and it’s a very
welcoming environment, there is always something going on and Mum is much, much more engaged than I ever thought she would be! It is abundantly clear that the whole team, from management to the carers, are professional, genuinely kind and dedicated to the wellbeing of the residents; very reassuring. The home itself is more like a five-star hotel with lovely en-suite rooms, lots of social areas, dedicated dining spaces and even a cinema room - a very thoughtful design. I would also like to acknowledge the kindness and support the wider family has received during a very stressful time.

As a family member of a resident at Primrose House, I have visited on many occasions. On every visit, you are greeted by friendly staff (including Cody and Winston with their very waggy tails) who always have time for a chat. There is always a positive buzz around the building with staff and residents
enjoying activities or chatting over a cup of tea. My mother-in-law has a beautiful room which looks out onto the garden and the cleanliness is second to none. Despite her initial worries about moving, the staff have been amazing at helping her to settle in and very quickly understood all about her and her needs. I particularly like the social media posts which allow us to see many of the activities she has been involved in. A big thank you to everyone at Primrose House.

The staff whilst I was there were wonderful! Helpful and friendly. Room facilities, very good. The facilities are not geared up for wheelchair use, the lift and door keypads are too high plus exiting the building is very difficult. Fold-down shower seats (wall-mounted) in the bathroom would have been
a good idea!

Reply from Max Andrews, Business Support Manager at Primrose House

Thank you for the wonderful feedback regarding the staff and facilities at Primrose House. We also appreciate your notes regarding the wheelchair accessibility issues. This is something we will raise with our maintenance team to look at readjusting the keypads as well as assessing the accessibility of the building and bathrooms. We will be sure to keep you updated with any changes.

My initial contact with Primrose House was with the management team. I cannot fault their help and support during a very stressful time. I have found the staff to be friendly and helpful to myself at all times. I am very pleased with the way staff have helped my mother to settle and have shown her kindness
and attention especially when she has been upset. As numbers of residents increase I am hopeful that activities will become part of the daily life.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.894 for Primrose House is calculated as follows: ( (494 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 537 Ratings = 4.894

  • 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 House is based on 44 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
