Brilliant as always- so understanding of my grandmothers needs. She eats so well when there and enjoys the social side as well. The carers are so kind and helpful to her every need. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a full-time resident since May this year. He had lived in Presteigne most of his adult life and wanted to remain in the town when he could no longer manage at home alone. Prestemede is lovely and homely, the staff are very kind and cheerful, and we the family are always made very
welcome with the offer of a cuppa on our visits. My father is very happy and settled and is enjoying the company of others as he's lived on his own for several years. The home is very clean and the food is great.

I helped my mum to travel to Prestemede Care Home for 2 weeks respite, the staff are so kind. We had a warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The manager had very kindly allowed a video call assessment due to long distance. The staff accommodated requests and needs and were all lovely. The food
was very good. Mum is definitely looking forward to respite there again in 2025. Kind regards to all.

Thank you so much for your kind review about the care your mum received. We truly appreciate your thoughtful words and are delighted to hear that she enjoyed the food!

Since entering this nursing home, I feel I have received the best help, care and attention at all times. I am a service user and I have no other connection. The facilities are adequate and available at all times. It is also situated in a small town where I live.

Warm welcome, treated as an individual. Pleasuring to see staff sitting down and eating with us. Food homely, good quality. Pleasant outlook on all sides.
Room well serviced, taken out in a wheelchair to get some fresh air.
Missed not having any hooks on the back of doors to hang outdoor jackets,
robe and flannels in the washroom, etc. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable, recuperative stay.

Review from Ruth W (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father went for 2 weeks respite, which extended to 4 weeks, then indefinitely as he realised he wasn't able to cope on his own at home. He was welcomed both by the staff and other guests (Prestemede has the feeling of a nice small seaside hotel!) The staff are very kind and do spend time talking
to Dad about his life which I think is so important. There are activities to join in, and I feel Dad is safe, cared for and treated with respect and dignity. I cannot fault it.

Prestemede is a care home where you can enjoy splendid food and excellent care in pastoral surroundings. I am so grateful to have stayed in a care home where I found all members of the staff to be kind, thoughtful and encouraging for my recovery. I would thoroughly recommend Prestemede.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
How lovely to find such a well-managed care home in close proximity to where my friend lives. From the first point of contact, when I phoned to arrange a visit, to being asked my thoughts at the conclusion of each visit, I have been extremely impressed by the pleasant, cheerful and caring staff.
The
home is clean, bright and uncluttered, and does not have the unpleasant smells one so often finds in care homes.
The bedroom is tidy and comfortable, and the en-suite bathroom is very convenient.
My friend says the meals are good and she cannot find fault with anything.
I have been offered a much-appreciated hot drink on each occasion.

Since moving into Prestemede for respite, my mum has seemed the happiest and most well I have seen her for years. The manager has been wonderful, prior to mum moving in, and since, caring, warm, professional, reassuring and very knowledgeable. All the staff seem committed, professional and so engaged
and caring. Thank you so much.

Mum settled really quickly into this lovely home. It is clean, friendly, comfortable and has very good facilities. The improvement in mum is massive! Her health and well-being is a joy to see, she is now back to her happy, cheerful self. The staff are so welcoming to all the families and visitors that
visit their loved ones. The knowledge and experience the staff hold is outstanding. Thank you all so much for the excellent work you all do!

Excellent service provided from first contact to discharge I felt very well catered for and never once worried about mum which was great. The staff are fantastic, communication great. An extremely caring environment. Many thanks, mum will be hopefully able to go in for respite care in the future depending
on how things go now - she's back home.

From the initial review and assessment, plus throughout my mum's two-week stay at the care home, an absolutely excellent level of service was provided. This included attention to detail, provision of specific resident's requirements and overall, very genuine and consistent care provided. Would thoroughly
recommend this care home and staff.

Review from Julia R (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had already used the home several times for respite care so it was her first choice when she decided she needed something more permanent with her reduced mobility. She was admitted in June 2021 when we were all still required to use full PPE. Mum loves Prestemede Care Home and the staff. It’s
difficult to comment on activities as, of course, during the pandemic they haven’t been able to have visitors but, to be honest, as long as she’s able to have her hair done once a week and watch her favourite quiz shows, she feels it’s a home from home!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Prestemede Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.817 for Prestemede Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.817
  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 Prestemede Care Home is based on 11 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 12 registered maximum number of service users is 2.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
