Review from Steve R (Son of Resident) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend the staff at Potter House highly enough, they are ABSOLUTLEY FANTASTIC in every respect. My dad is receiving the very best dementia care from all the team, me and my family cannot thank them enough.
Every single member of staff that we have met are knowledgeable , attentive and caring,
we have even seen dad enjoy himself to a level pre his dementia.
The home is extremely well managed, the care is second to none and the food, from what dad tells me is better than in a 5 star hotel!! The premises are very well appointed and luxurious with every care taken in the design and decoration to help people suffering from dementia.
The team at Potter House consistently go above and beyond in providing care and support for dad and are always proactive in keeping us informed of things. Everything they do is with a smile on their face and with the utmost consideration for my dad and the family's feelings.
Potter House and its staff are "Simply the Best" Thank you everyone!!
Reply from Callum Pearce, General Manager at Potter House Care HomeThank you so much for your extremely kind review of potter house and its staff.

We believe he is enjoying every minute of his time here and is enjoying the activities and trips he is partaking in! We are so pleased you also enjoy your visits here and your kind words mean the world to me, and i will share this with the team. Thank you again for your support and trust.

I could not be more grateful to all the staff at Potter House who have made my mum feel so welcome. I truly believe she is receiving the best care, her every need is catered to and the staff go above and beyond for anything she needs! The chefs are amazing and serve the most delicious food, she often
has manicures and pedicures, she has her hair done every week in the salon and gets to go out every day down to the shop for her morning paper! She's been to a show, taken for an eye test and her Drs nothing is too much trouble! Would highly recommend Potter House to anyone looking for full time care. It is nicer than some 5 star hotels I've stayed in with lovely grounds and gardens.
Reply from Callum Pearce, General Manager at Potter House Care HomeThank you so much for such a kind and heartfelt review of Potter House; we are very happy your mum chose to come and stay with us, we are privileged to be making her life more enjoyable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was in respite for 2 weeks. Whilst he was there he was extremely well cared for. The staff and management were friendly and compassionate to his needs and nothing was too much trouble. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and the food was "superb". The home itself is beautifully laid out and
the rooms are spacious and clean.
Reply from Callum Pearce, General Manager at Potter House Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to send in your kind review of Potter House, we are so pleased that you and your father had a pleasant 2 weeks stay with us. We are also pleased he was able to join us for our grand opening celebrations. We are also so pleased you thought the food was superb and compliments will be sent to the chef. I will pass your compliments onto the team here at Potter House Care Home and we hope to see you both again in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Potter House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.877 for Potter House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (284 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 318 Ratings = 4.877
  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 Potter House Care Home is based on 27 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
