I can't speak highly enough of the care and kindness shown to my partner's mother by all the staff. It is the nearest thing to living at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My first experience of being a resident I found the staff caring, understanding and always helpful in any way. Good sense of humour. The accommodation was excellent, clean, tidy and comfortable. The food was varied with alternatives and very acceptable accommodating dietary needs. Overall I found no
faults I would always return if circumstances needed.

Prestmede Care Home is the best care home I have ever visited. Staff are friendly, caring and considerate to those in care and visitors alike.


Food and cleanliness are of a high standard, as is personal hygiene of those in care.


My mother is approaching her 100th birthday and despite the difficulties

of advanced age, appreciates the high quality of care she has received at Prestmede.


Highly recommended!

Review from Jane Y (Friend of Resident) published on 15 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to place on record my recommendation for this home.


My friend has been in this home since 2013, firstly as a paying customer and latterly as a resident funded by the local authority. The care that she has received has been excellent, the staff are the most friendly bunch of people

I have ever met and nothing is too much trouble for them. I live quite a way away from the home and can only visit every couple of weeks but can phone and talk to them at any time to see how things are.


Lately, my friend hasn't been so well but the staff are willing to do anything for her, and they appear to genuinely care for her. It is lovely to see the relationship they have with her.


I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to anyone who needs care.

My husband was apprehensive about going into care for my respite. When I got back, he had absolutely loved it and the carers. They had looked after him really well. I'm sure he would have stayed there.

Review from Simon N (Son of Resident) published on 9 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Seriously impressed with all aspects of this home. Architecturally it is far from prepossessing but the atmosphere, staff, food and facilities are outstanding. The staff are always ready to help. Always genuinely friendly. Very committed.
I strongly suspect, that the fact that all the staff are local
may well be the primary reason for the standard of care. "Local ownership" and a strong sense of duty. Above all the care is "homely".

Review from Samantha S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 21 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are always attentive, polite and demonstrate a very caring attitude to all residents. As we have to travel a considerable way we arrive at various times and always unannounced. My grandmother is always well presented and seems very happy about her care and life in general. All staff are well
received by my grandmother and they are always able to answer any questions about my grandmother when asked. The environment throughout the home is clean and welcoming. I feel we were very lucky to have found such a wonderful home for my grandmother to live out the rest of her years.

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.
