Everyone has been very kind and supportive as I have missed my husband so much. He has settled in well which is very reassuring and I feel he is in such safe hands. Indoor visits are fantastic long may they continue.
Thank you, you all do such a marvellous job.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Primrose have been pro-actively good in communicating with other family members, especially during this Covid Pandemic. They have shown themselves as attentive to my mother and providing my mother with all the support which she needs. Primrose has been pro-active when my mother has needed
outside medical attention and they have kept me informed. My mother's well being has been a priority to them and this can be seen in my mother's expressions to them.

Since moving to Primrose House, my mother has been treated with kindness and dignity. The staff are attentive and understanding and they are well trained. The facilities are clean and well maintained and the home is good at communicating with family members. I have confidence in the home being a comfortable
residence for Mum in her advancing years.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Dad was at Primrose for nearly 6-years. He had vascular dementia and was quite characterful at times. The staff looked after him so well and came to love him with all his traits that the disease brings. Sadly Dad passed away last week at the home, and we as a family were with him. The home looked
after us all through this sad time with support from everyone, and they were all very respectful. I just wanted to say thank you for caring for my Dad through this time.

Primrose has a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff who treat the residents with great respect and dignity. My nan has been here for 3 years and is always happy in her own little world.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan has been in this home for 2 years and I can honestly say the care they have given my nan has been excellent. Each time I've visited, I've always been greeted with a smile and asked if there's anything I need I.e cup of tea or coffee. Since my nan has been in the home my grandad has found the
whole situation so upsetting but with the help of the staff, he's felt happy and grateful that the staff have helped and comforted my nan and that means the world to us all as a family. The home is very clean and my nan's room is so warm and comfortable.
Overall, I would highly recommend this care home to anyone. If you're looking for your loved one to be looked after with such loving care, this is the place to come.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Primrose House 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.844 for Primrose House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.844
  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 Primrose House Care Home is based on 19 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Introducing Dawn Sadler
Home Manager at Primrose House, Haslington


What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?


“Kind care is shown through every Colleague and visitor within Primrose House showing kindness in every aspect of care provided whether it be through actions, or talking. All our Residents are our main priority and a ‘Happy Resident’ means a ‘Happy Home’.”


As a dedicated registered nurse, Dawn has gained a wealth of experience in providing care and nursing support to elderly people, to enrich their lives. Her main responsibilities are to ensure that all of the Residents are made to feel safe, secure, at home in their surroundings, and happy and to make each day a positive experience for each and every one of them.


Dawn closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every Resident. She extends this caring approach to her Colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


She also works hard to arrange events and activities with nearby schools and clubs and is always keen to include the local community in life at Primrose House care home. Dawn regularly helps to hand out food parcels to the elderly and vulnerable people in the community.


When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Dawn remarked:


“Hearing the laughter throughout the home from both Colleagues and Residents”


Outside of work, Dawn is a semi-professional photographer and also enjoys making cakes for celebrations. She also has two wonderful children; a daughter and a son.
