Praesmohr has a Review Score of 8.4 (8.357) out of 10, based on 2 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Praesmohr has 2 reviews.
My father regularly tells me how much he enjoys the food & how lovely all the staff are, which completely reflects my own experience every time I visit. He has settled in very happily & often says how content & comfortable he feels there. His room is beautiful, with a large bay window overlooking the surrounding grounds, & he says he sleeps very well & feels at peace in his environment.
The home itself is exceptionally clean, well maintained, & set in beautiful surroundings that create a calm & welcoming atmosphere. I can honestly say that Praesmohr & its staff are exceptional.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are glad to hear he is enjoying Chef's new menu.
A fantastic family, homely place where the staff are long-serving and caring to residents and their families. Support and guidance is given to family members negotiating things like dementia for the first time, I couldn't have navigated it without their help. The care given is second to none and I would not want my mother in any other care home. Praesmohr is a very special place.
Thank you for taking the time to review us and for the lovely feedback
