My only complaint is the excessive charges of the owners.
The care in the home was exemplary from on site management to every care worker. They were all kind, thoughtful and helpful and never complained when the nature of the illness made the resident at times aggressive physically.

Once again the staff of the Leonard Elms have proven to be Professional,caring and understanding. My mum had a fit again on mothers day and we are all being cared for so well.yes they care about us too. I really cannot praise these wonderful staff enough. They treat us and my mum as part of the Elms
family. When mum went in there 3 years ago the manager said you will gain a new family and it's spot on right. Thank you to every single person who works there all of which are caring, professional,supportive and very well educated. Thankyou al so much

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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 the day he arrived, my husband seemed to settle. He is calmer, happier (as far as I can tell) and eats far more than he used to. Everyone, without exception, is caring, calm and just wonderful with the residents. I am so happy my husband came here.

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!

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.
