I have been away for 9 weeks and whilst away my uncle had a fall. He was taken very good care of and is now fit and well again. The staff give me complete confidence in their caring ways, making my uncle very happy and content. Nothing is too much trouble and any concerns I may have are quickly addressed.
My mum spent 6 years at Preston Private Nursing Home and was not the easiest to deal with but even she was at her happiest whilst living at this care home. I just want to say thank you to all the staff.

My nana has been in this care home for nearly 2 years now and she has honestly never been happier, she's back to her old loving self even though she has dementia. She loves it in here and the staff are so good with her. The staff are nice, caring and honestly, I couldn't imagine my nana anywhere else.
There's such a loving welcoming feel around the care home.

My godmother was in this nursing home for a short time for palliative care. From the time she arrived, she has been cared for wonderfully, with compassion and dignity. Sadly she passed away peacefully. The staff were excellent and so kind. They kept me informed at all times and extremely flexible, such
a lovely feel around the home, such a light and airy feel. So glad that her last days were in such a lovely place.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Preston Private Nursing Home 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 64 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 64 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 4.888 for Preston Private Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (680 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 757 Ratings = 4.888

  • 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 Preston Private Nursing Home is based on 64 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 64 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: Unit Lead

Joined: 2016

Meet Lisa – Unit Lead, Ladywell Residential Unit


I began my journey in the care sector in 2016 as a Care Assistant, driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. After gaining valuable hands-on experience, I completed my Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care and progressed to the role of Senior Carer on the Ferny Unit (Dementia Unit). My passion for care and leadership naturally led me to being promoted to Unit Lead.


In 2022, I broadened my professional experience by working for the NHS for 12 months. This period greatly enhanced my clinical knowledge and gave me a deeper understanding of care within a wider healthcare context. Upon returning to Preston Private, I was proud to help support the opening of the high-needs residential Ladywell Unit as a Senior, and shortly after, I was given the opportunity to step into the role of Unit Lead, a position I genuinely love and take pride in.


I am passionate about delivering excellent, person-centred care to our residents and strive to create a warm, supportive environment for both residents and their families, especially during difficult times when important decisions need to be made.


Being a part of the Preston Private team means everything to me. I am committed to continuous learning, leading by example, and ensuring every resident receives the respect, dignity, and quality of life they deserve.
