Primley Court Nursing Home
from Nick B (Husband of Resident) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wife who has Alzheimer's was admitted to Hospital in mid December after suffering psychotic episodes. She spent a number of weeks in hospital and placed in Primley Court in mid January.
She arrived at Primley very confused and anxious and quite ill but from her arrival she was in good hands. Her

care was exceptional and the staff were always there to help her when required.
There was always a good program of varied activities for residents.which she enjoyed.
The home was always clean and well presented throughout, and the carers were always happy and helpful
All the management and staff were professional in everything they did and always attempted to keep a calm atmosphere by always being available for residents when needed.
We were always made to feel welcome when visiting.
Updates on my wife's care were always available as required.
Whenever I required assistance with the care processes the management were always available to give advice and if required help.
Thanks

Overall Experience

Primley Court (The View) gave outstanding compassionate care to my dad during the last 8 months of his life and treated him as if he was their own family member and all through our visits treated us as extended family with kindness always having time to discuss his care. All the different departments

showed the same care and respect- laundry, cooks, cleaners, maintenance, carers and nurses alike. I would recommend this nursing home for your family member.

The Leonard Elms Care Home
from Louise L (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum was in the Leonard Elms for 16 months up until December 2024. She had mobility issues as well as dementia.
In all the time that my mum was at the Home, she received excellent care from the care team and the nursing team. Their dedication and care of the residents is second to none. The atmosphere

in the home is like one large family, with many of the staff having been there for a number of years.
The nursing team are excellent and on occasions when my mum has been very poorly, they have acted very professionally, with a calm and caring nature, giving me regular updates.
The Manager is excellent. Always very approachable, offering support when required with any issues that may arise.
They have a family liaison carer, who gives emotional support to families and holds a monthly coffee morning at the home for relatives. She is a fantastic support to any relative who may be struggling with having to place their loved one in a home.
I would highly recommend this care home.

Review of
Primley Court Nursing Home
from Sharon W (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at Primley cared for my mom from July 2024 right up to her passing late February 2025. At first she was at Primley Court which specialises in support for dementia residents. However, as other conditions took over she was moved to Primley View, which is more suited for end-of-life nursing care.

Both places have incredible staff, but the View was better for her being smaller, more homely and very quiet and peaceful.
I cannot praise the Manager, and all her team enough for the care and attention that Mom received. Nothing was too much trouble and every need catered for. And I really value the communication, sensitivity and support that I have had.
On a practical level they are so accommodating - not waking Mom up for meals and showers etc. , but instead fitting in everything around her waking hours. Her room was light and cheerful, and always lovely and warm. Bedding/clothing was changed regularly and she always looked so comfortable.
Thank you so much for everything

Reply from Stephen Crisp, Director of Quality & Compliance at Primley Court Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review your late Mothers stay with us, we are delighted to see your 5* score and heart felt comments; our managers and staff at Primley Court & View will be uplifted with your praise of our team and again thank you and take care.

Overall Experience

I can't speak highly enough of Primley View. The care, respect and commitment from all staff was incredible. Dad always looked clean, smart and clean shaved which was very important to him. He found personal care difficult because he wanted to do it himself but was unable. The staff were always patient,

understanding, considerate and caring remaining respectful of his wishes at all times. The entertainment provided was always wonderful and I am so grateful to all the staff there for their wonderful, considerate care for Dad, myself and family. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience

My Dad was in Primley View for about 10 months. The care, support, empathy, and professionalism toward Dad and his family from all the staff was outstanding. We knew he was in safe hands and well cared for. Always clean-shaven and nicely dressed. Everyone made a sad situation a little easier to handle.

We know Dad is missed and we miss the Primley View family. You're all amazing. Dad is off on his travels now and we will never be able to thank you enough!

Reply from Stephen Crisp, Director at Primley Court Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback on the care of your Father; to be considered outstanding is indeed an honour, as is, our team's time spent with your Father; I will ensure our management team sees your review which of course helps them to feel appreciated thank you.

Overall Experience

It took me a while to understand and accept what the nursing home did and was. I could not have been better reassured by the staff. They explained the treatment/medication and every part of what they were doing to make my partner's stay a better experience. Every person employed at the home treated

my partner, myself, and my family with a smile, help, and understanding. They made the last 2 and 1/2 months bearable. I will miss all of them very much. Thank you is not enough.

Overall Experience

I am delighted with the level of care that my Grandad has received in his 6 months at Primley Court. He is a very unpredictable, complex character that needs a very specific approach and Primley have delivered. There is always an abundance of staff from carers and nurses to cleaners and housekeeping.

Everyone is very patient and the delivery of care is well-managed to make sure nothing is missed.

from Edmund K (Husband of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I absolutely agree with so many of the comments made by other people. My wife has Alzheimer's and entered Primley Court in a very poor state last November after a stay in hospital. Over the last 9 months, they have slowly settled her down until she is as comfortable as possible. The atmosphere is calm

and almost homely and the staff are all really caring and concerned. It always seems fresh and my wife is well presented and obviously relates well with them. My worries have been greatly reduced since they looked after her and they have welcomed our family as well. Lovely home, with lovely staff and an excellent attitude from the management. Thank you!

Reply from Stephen Crisp, Director at Primley Court Nursing Home

Our leadership team are so pleased that your wife has settled into Primley Court Nursing Home and thank you for your kind comments on the home's professionalism and engagement with family. We endorse your view of the local management team whose experience and approach are in line with our objective of providing the best specialist care in the South West. Thank you.

from Nikki B (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It's hard to put into words how difficult it is to place a relative in a nursing home knowing this will be the last place they will live. From our very first visit, it just felt 'right'. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming, you can tell from the atmosphere and how they interacted with the other

staff, visitors, and residents that they enjoy working there and want to be there. I cannot tell you how many times they just made themselves available to sit with Mum, comfort her, and spend quality time with her. They were incredibly supportive towards us too, they showed genuine kindness. Sadly Mum passed away and they all talked about little routines or special jokes they shared with her, always there with a smile and hand squeeze. I felt they knew her and cared for her. They kept us informed of all medical issues and personal care was excellent. They treated her with dignity, respect, and genuine care.

From the beginning of my husband's stay at The Leonard Elms (nearly 3 years), I have been very happy with the care he has received. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they will often go the extra mile to ensure the comfort and well-being of the residents. Visitors are allowed any time (pandemics

permitting)! and always made very welcome. I would recommend the home to anyone seeking specialist dementia care.

from Karen C (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Dad was admitted to Primley View at the end of January for end-of-life care. The whole team at Primley View was superb in their care of my Dad and I can't fault them; it's never an easy situation but the team made it as straightforward as they could. Their kindness to myself and my sister as well

as my Dad was above and beyond what we expected. My Dad's care was second to none, he was well looked after and as a proud ex-military man who had been completely independent all of his life, I know this was no mean feat as he was quite demanding and certainly not used to having anyone look after his hygiene needs. The team is the best there is, they are all very giving of their time and attention, and nothing is too much trouble. The kindness extended to us when he passed was very much appreciated. In a busy world, where people are expected to do more and more, this team was never too busy to care - and that means everything. Thank you!

Overall Experience

My husband became a resident at Primley Court on 6th Jan 23, he was very underweight, anxious, and tormented.
The staff have all been very kind and caring and patient towards him, over a period of weeks he became happier and calmer and regained his lost weight.
All the staff have shown kindness and

empathy towards me on my visits, they are always busy with the residents, chatting or walking with them. A lovely friendly atmosphere.
