Prinsted Care Home

After taking care of my husband for nearly eight years after his severe stroke, the time came when it was no longer possible to take on the task alone. Prinsted has been an amazing caring place for my husband. The staff and carers are all wonderful and I would not hesitate to recommend Prinsted to anyone. There are also plenty of activities going on to keep everyone happy. They do seem to go the extra mile at Prinsted. Well done.

My mother has been happily settled into Prinsted Care Home for the last ten months. Her level of care is exemplary. The staff are experienced, cheerful and understanding. She takes part in a varied programme of creative and fun activities. There is a warm, family friendly atmosphere. The food is excellent and plentiful with wine available. The house and grounds are very attractive and well maintained. I could not have found a better home for mum.

The home offers a varied programme of entertainment for the residents which is fun and lively at times and encourages residents to join in.

My mother lived alone until she had a fall aged 99. She was very reluctant to go into a home but settled really quickly and now appreciates the care she receives and the excellent food. Her 100th birthday came in lockdown but the staff ensured that she had an amazing day. She couldn’t be in a better place.

The quality of care has been excellent in all regards. All staff are professional, caring, courteous and good-humored. It is reassuring that as soon as a medical condition is diagnosed Dad gets appropriate treatment. The facilities are good with a spacious lounge overlooking the garden where Dad can enjoy sunny weather. When he is not reading or watching television, Dad has enjoyed some of the impressive activities that are laid on.

My mum was taking respite here and the care home was really friendly, caring and took great care to ensure my mum was safe. They encouraged my mum to join in with the activities and to stretch herself to regain her independence. They ensured that any feedback was recorded and fed back. It is professionally run to a high standard.

My mother has been at Prinsted Care Home for three years. It was an emotional time finding somewhere for her to live, but the love and care shown by the management and staff made this decision so much easier. The home is bright and cheerful and the staff are always so kind. It is obvious that they have taken the time to get to know my mum and even though she now has good days and bad days. I am always confident, reassured and thankful that she is safe and being well looked after.

My mother spent the best part of a year at Prinsted. As a family we had been advised that she required 24-hour care and having selected Prinsted as the nursing home for her, we were impressed by the team there from day one. Every member of staff should be praised for their part in my mother's care during that time and the sensitivity and professionalism shown was completely reassuring. We were particularly taken with the positive nature of the nursing team, right up to my mother's last days which were so tenderly dealt with.

As a family, we were extremely happy with the care given from the laundry, kitchen and care staff including nurses and management. The home had a happy and caring atmosphere which made a difficult time easier.

The care home is well managed and an ideal environment for my mother who suffers from dementia. The staff are friendly and helpful and are always prepared to go the extra mile for the residents. The staff make my mother very welcome, she admires their friendliness, their smiles and their helpfulness. I would recommend the home to others as a place where I know my mother, as other residents are well treated and respected. She is very happy there.

The stay at Prinsted Care Home was too short since I needed care to recover from a broken femur. I have not had any reason to complain. It not only suited my needs but all of the staff were caring, considerate and happy in their work as well as being efficient.
