Review from Janet S (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother lived at Primrose Lodge for over three years. During this time, I visited regularly and was always made welcome by the staff. The love and care that my mother received made it easier for both Mum and myself. The home is clean and fresh. Great care was taken when dressing my mother, and she always looked clean and tidy. It was uplifting to see my mum smile and look happy, and leaving at the end of a visit was never difficult as she was happy to stay and enjoyed the company around her. Thank you to all at Primrose Lodge.

Overall Experience
Upon my first arrival, Primrose Lodge reminded me of a holiday chalet layout. All rooms were immaculate and cosy. Every resident appeared clean, heard and cared for. My first impressions are really good.

- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.

- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
