My wife has been in Palmersdene since July 2023. She has settled in well and is happy in herself. She is well cared for. The staff are all very friendly. Her room is always clean. The food is varied. I cannot fault Palmersdene Care Home. They have a great team looking after all the residents. I go to
see my wife at the care home, knowing when I go home she is safe and well looked after.

I cannot overstate how pleased we are, as a family with the care mum has received at Palmersdene. The staff are very professional, clearly well trained and very friendly. The management are visible and approachable and always available to discuss any concerns. Medical issues are picked up on quickly,
dealt with immediately and monitored carefully. The home is always spotlessly clean. Food is freshly prepared and a good choice of meals is offered. What more can I say? Mum is happy.

My whole family could not be happier with my dad's care at Palmersdene. It was a very difficult decision for us to make to place dad in residential care but the compassion, attentiveness and professionalism of the staff have turned the process into something we wish we had done sooner as dad now has
the quality of life he truly deserves thanks to Palmersdene.

I was anxious about Dad moving into a care home, but already within a few months, I am so relieved at how much he is thriving in Palmersdene. This is due to the caring, kind staff and the brilliant environment there. Dad has a beautiful room where he is safe and secure 24/7, which is such a comfort
to me and my family.

Mam has been in the care home for a few months and she settled very quickly. The staff are really lovely and are always nearby, they are kind, caring and do a brilliant job- thank you. The care home itself is very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Family are always made welcome and always contacted
if there are any issues. I'd like to say a big thank you for the Xmas party arranged for residents and family, great entertainment, food and games, the effort made was outstanding and much appreciated.

Mam has been at Palmersdene for 6 weeks and is now settling very well thanks to the excellent care and reassurance from the staff. There are always lots of staff around and the atmosphere is calm. Residents seem happy and Mam interacts well with the staff and residents. This care home is immaculate,
comfortable, and well-run. We are happy that Mam is safe and well cared for, and the staff will phone us if there are any problems. They are happy to answer any questions we have.

Review from Alan C (Husband of Resident) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been in this care home since May 2022, she has had good periods and bad periods, the bad periods have been when she has had to be admitted to hospital, the good periods have been when she goes back to Palmersdene because of the personal care she gets when she goes back to her room. The carers
get rotated so every carer knows all the residents so the residents relax as they all know each other. The care home is spotlessly clean and the cleaners know all the residents as well. My only worry is it does not have a nursing home facility so it could mean that my wife could have to change home if health issues get much worse and I don't want to think how she would cope after being in such a nice environment, hopefully that won't happen. If by chance there is an incident they contact me or my daughter by phone and keep you informed to put your mind at rest.

The care home and the staff are absolutely brilliant with my Mum. They provide a fantastic level of personalised car for her. The food and services they provide are second to none. My Mum is in a far better physical and mental state of health since being with the home. The staff are in regular contact
with me if there are any issues with her. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Palmersdene for what they do for my Mum.

My father went into Palmersdene Care Home 3 years ago to recover from a fall, but didn't want to leave! So, we packed up his home and we were lucky enough to get a permanent place for him. The staff are amazing, we feel as a family that the care he gets is the best and we are extremely thankful for
that.

My mother-in-law has settled well into Palmersdene. She seems happy, comfortable and content. She is quite obviously well cared for in all respects. The staff are all very friendly and have quickly got to know her. They provide relatives with lots of info about her wellbeing. We are very happy with
the standard of care she is receiving in Palmersdene.

The care home look after my stepdad amazingly well and the staff are really friendly. The staff always make time for the residents and there are regular games or events to engage and to entertain the residents. The home is very clean, nicely decorated and the residents' rooms are a good size with their
own toilet facilities. Although I have never eaten there, the food looks very good and the residents all seem to enjoy their meals.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Palmersdene is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.861 for Palmersdene is calculated as follows: ( (331 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.861
  2. 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 Palmersdene is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
