From the moment my father joined Palmersdene, he has been made to feel very welcome. He has settled in so well. The staff are always helpful and friendly. Although he has had to isolate, staff are always willing to pop the portal in his room so we can FaceTime or do window visits.

My father is currently staying at Palmersdene on a short term basis with hopefully the possibility of him remaining there. The staff I have met so far are friendly, kind and knowledgeable and will also answer my thousands of questions. I feel the staff are empathetic, caring, meet all of my father's
needs as well as bringing out the best of his personality. It hasn’t been easy thinking of my father being anywhere other than his own home but I would not want him anywhere else and would wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone. Thank you for welcoming my dad into your home and treating him with kindness and respect and allowing him to be himself.

My mum has been in Palmersdene Care Home for 3 months following a knee replacement. She has been happy with the care she has received and I have been impressed by the way the staff have helped her with her rehabilitation and made it possible for visits from physiotherapists and occupational therapist
during this difficult time. They have also kept me informed of these visits and my mum's progress.

Both my parents have been residents at Palmersdene for a number of years until my mother died in December 2020. My dad still remains a resident. I think the procedures at Palmersdene are excellent and I cannot praise the staff enough. They are very caring and take time out to speak to the residents
when they can to make them feel more comfortable. I am always kept well informed of any changes. I feel very comfortable that my dad is in a caring and comfortable environment.

My sister has been a resident for nearly ten years now and she says she is really happy. The last 13 months have been really trying but I have always felt confident that she will be safe with the care that she receives. I have been kept well informed of what has been going on and they have done everything
within the guidelines to allow us to see her.

My mam is very happy and safe in Palmersdene and that is all we aim for. I used to visit her almost every day and was kept informed of what she needed personally and in her room etc. Obviously, covid has affected many things. My only area of concern is communication. Hopefully, this is now being improved.
I am looking forward to being able to take her for a walk in the garden and look at the birds etc.

Reply from Maureen McCulloch, Manager at Palmersdene

Thank you for taking the time to review Palmersdene and we are pleased that your mum is happy and safe with us. Following our recent conversation, we are happy to discuss any aspect of our care at a mutually convenient time.

My mother lives in Palmersdene and has done for almost three years. She is very happy there despite the lockdown going on for so long. She refers to the staff as her friends and enjoys times spent with them. I am happy that I know my mother is safe and well cared for.

I can not put into words how amazing the staff are at Palmersdene. My nanna has just gone in a few days ago and the difference already is amazing. My nanna looked terrible beforehand then when I went to see her, the staff at Palmersdene had got my nanna up and dressed; myself and my family were over
the moon to see her looking so well. When we found out my nanna needed care, I knew that was the place for her I wouldn’t have her anywhere else. Nothing is ever a bother no matter what you ask of them always putting my mind at rest.

When my father-in-law passed away suddenly they dealt with his passing as if he were a relative. We cannot thank them enough for how they cared for him and the support they gave us. They continue that support to his wife that also lives there. In this difficult time we are having they are doing an incredible
job for all the residents that live there

My mother became a resident at Palmersdene at the beginning of February 2020. She settled in really well as she was discharged from the hospital after she had a section under the mental health act. The staff treated my mother with care and consideration. Unfortunately, as COVID appeared, the home was
locked down. Mam's mental health deteriorated and the staff was challenged taking care of her. I know they have met my mother's challenges with professionalism and respect where possible. I have a very good relationship with the staff and I know they are doing all they are able during this time and remain COVID free.

All the staff are very friendly, cheerful and supportive, the residents receive an exceptional level of care, in a calm environment.
The home is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. The chef prepares good quality meals and excellent homemade cakes.
During the weeks of COVID lockdown regular
updates by phone or newsletters have been very reassuring. Visits are now possible through an outside open window, which is very much appreciated.
My heartfelt thanks to all the staff, my aunt could not be in a better place.

Palmersdene is a caring environment, providing sensitive support to those who struggle to care for themselves. Staff appear to be actively engaged in the decision making processes within the home, and work hard to ensure that Residents feel genuinely empowered.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Palmersdene 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.876 for Palmersdene is calculated as follows: ( (326 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 Palmersdene is based on 31 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 31 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.
