Over all time Preston House has 53 reviews.
All staff are friendly, proactive, and caring and go to great lengths to care for my sister.
The 'Activity' service is exemplary, professional, respectful, giving residents encouragement, stimulation, and enjoyment.
Reception is my 'first point of contact,' in person or on the phone, always a helpful caring experience.
The financial process works effectively and I am kept well informed.
I live 400 miles from Preston House and receive a weekly report on my relative from the Management Team and the introduction of a video call with my relative is comforting.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your continued trust in Preston House. We are delighted to hear that you have seen ongoing improvements in the care and support provided to your sister over the past two and a half years. It is especially encouraging to know that the...
Preston House is a really lovely care home, staff are really nice and the management is really easy to approach. My father really loves being there, it was the best move we made for my father.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that your father is so happy at Preston House and that you have found our team and management approachable and supportive throughout his journey with us. Knowing that moving to Preston House has been such a positive decision for your...
Gary has been in your care 11 months, it's not been without its bumps and twists along the way. Having never needed adult health and social care support before, I didn't know what to expect. On the whole it has been a very positive experience, and the worries or concerns we've had have been dealt with quickly and supportively. My only concerns if I still had to think of any would be things missing belonging to Gary or finding things that aren't his - not a big problem in the grand scale of things. Staffing - not always able to find someone, which concerns me that he and peers are left vulnerable for short periods of time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Gary's first 11 months at Preston House. We understand that moving into adult health and social care can feel daunting, so it means a great deal to hear that, overall, your experience has been a positive one and that any concerns raised have...
I would like to see him clean shaven daily as he always was at home. He was a very smart tidy man with very high hygiene standards. I like to remember him this way. On this note I would like to see his clothing replaced when he spills food down him. Again I understand if we come down after lunch staff have not had time but when we arrive after two it's not nice to see him wandering around in clothing covered in lunch . We did leave money for dad in the office when he moved in so that he could have hair trims every 6-8 weeks where possible.
Staff are on the ball with dad's health and I trust them 100% that they have his best interests at heart. Thanks to everyone
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback about your dad's care at Preston House. It's lovely to hear how much you value the team on his floor and the genuine relationships they've built with him.
We're pleased that you feel confident in the care provided and that your dad...
The home was well run and the staff were excellent. They provided a safe haven for my dad and allowed him to have dignity and comfort at the hardest time. They were helpful and understanding and they took a genuine interest in all he had done.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Preston House Care Home. It means a great deal to hear that you felt the home was well run and that our team provided a safe, dignified and comfortable environment for your dad. Supporting residents and their families with compassion, understanding and...
I am very happy for my father to be cared for at Preston House. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, they treat my dad with respect and dignity and meet all his needs. If there are any issues I am always informed by the manager or staff. My dad is settled and happy. Keep up the good work.
The staff deserve an increase in their salary for the endless help they give my mother and for the other residents and their families.
When my mother was able, she always looked forward to our resident entertainer who comes on a regular basis. She liked to sing with the microphone.
A very good experience of a care home which shows love for others.
Thank you so much for your review. We are touched by your kind words about our team and the care your mother receives at Preston House.It means a great deal to hear that our staff have made a positive impact through their compassion, dedication, and hard work. We're incredibly proud of them and will be sure to pass on your lovely comments - they will be deeply appreciated.
My mum continues to have the best care, in my opinion, and I never feel worried about the care provided to her. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you so much for your deeply touching and heartfelt words. It means the world to us to hear how much of a positive impact Preston House has had on both your Mother and Father. We are truly honored to have been able to support your father's wish to be with his beloved wife in his final weeks....
My Mum was a resident at Preston House for 5 years before she passed earlier in 2025. I live 500 miles away and my brother is in Australia. The level of respect, care and love received by my Mum meant gave us confidence that she was very well looked after. The Manager is tireless in ensuring the best care for residents and her team are excellent. I felt so well supported, which was so important as I live so far away. I can't thank the team enough for everything they did for my Mum.
As well as being able to provide compassionate care to our residents we always want to enable family members to remain involved in their loved ones lives no matter where they are in the world. It was our privilege to have been part of your mum's journey for so long and we're so pleased that you also felt supported along the way. Thank you so much for sharing such kind feedback.
Preston House is kept to the highest standard of cleanliness. The staff are very people-centred in dealing with residents and visitors. I take pleasure in knowing that the staff know at all times where my mother-in-law is, she is very mobile and likes to walk along the corridor to the communal area and her room. The activity coordinators give the resident all their individual need.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It means a great deal to us to know that you feel confident in the care your mother-in-law receives and that the team's attentive and personalised approach is recognised. Thank you.
My brother has been a resident at Preston House for over 2 years. I live 500 miles away but never worry about him as I know he is well cared for and treated with dignity. The care he receives reflects his changing needs. I contact the home very regularly and feel very well supported myself.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It's truly important to us that you feel confident in the care your brother receives, especially from such a distance, and we're so pleased to know you feel supported as well.
She leads by example and is amazing at her job and all her staff were fantastic at looking after my mum.
I can see why they get good reports from the care Commision as they go above and beyond.
As my mum was entering her last few days the staff would sit with my mum as I couldn't
be there all the time as my husband also has had a stroke so I am his carer at home. I felt really upset that I felt I couldn't be with my mum at the end but the staff made sure she was not in pain and kept her settled and I will be forever grateful for that.
The manager again you and your staff are amazing !!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was our privilege to care for your mum during her time at Preston House. Your generous feedback about the team and the care provided, especially in her final days, means a great deal to us and will be shared with everyone involved.
excellent care there. The staff are all extremely helpful and the positive attitude
of every single person who works there makes for great cohesion. Every one of them contributed to making my mum's hundredth birthday unforgettable. A big thank you to the entertainment team.
A big thank you to the chef. My mum often comments on the excellent meals, and her birthday cake was amazing.
A big thank you to the gardener who has created such a beautiful environnent for the residents and their visitors to enjoy.
Don't change a single thing. Just continue doing what you do so well.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We feel truly honoured to have cared for your mum over the past four years, and it was a real privilege to help celebrate her incredible 100th birthday. Your appreciation means the world to every member of our team and we'll continue doing all we can to ensure Preston House is a warm, joyful home for your mum.
Our Mum moved into Preston House in August 2021 when, thankfully, the covid restrictions were lifting. I found it very stressful but the staff, especially the manager, settled her in so well. She had a lovely sunny room looking on to the beautiful garden. Her room was always clean and tidy. Sadly she passed away last week but I want to thank every member of staff for the love and respect they gave her even when she was a challenge in the early days. She was quite a character. We will always be grateful that her last years were happy ones.
Thank you. Your words mean so much to our staff team who certainly miss your mum in the home. We feel so lucky to have got to know her over the years and it was our privilege to be able to care and support her.
My mum came into Preston House 2 years in June and has inproved so much, she is happy, well, and very much cared for. All staff are so friendly and caring nothing is a problem to any of them, and the manager keeps everyone in line, she is strict but in a good way, if you have a problem or concern, she is on it straight away, (and that is the way it should be). Its been very hard for me to except mum being in a home, but it was the best thing for mum and thats what matter, so glad she is at Preston and I no she is happy and safe.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review which means so much our team at Preston House. Our aim is always to provide the highest levels of care and support therefore we are delighted to hear of your positive experience which has enabled your mum to feel 'happy and safe'.
My wife has a good sized ensuite room with plenty space for visitors. The staff are welcoming and approachable and have a good understanding of my wifes needs. The level of care and support is good and there is a homely feel to the environment. There are trips out and celebrations days that are well-planned and good fun for everyone.
Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to leave a review - it is much appreciated.
I always enjoy visiting my gran at the home. I often bring my dog and he is always made welcome but the residents and staff. My gran loves it here as she "gets her washing done and all her meals". There is always someone about if we have any questions or need some help.
Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to leave a review.
I communicate well with the carers. They treat me with respect and talk to me, not down to me, that is good. They listen if you have any problems and try to help and sort them out.
Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to leave a review - it is much appreciated.
My brother became a resident in Preston House in May 2024. The building and individual rooms are attractive, well-maintained and very clean. The grounds are beautiful and offer lovely outside seating areas. Staff are friendly and nothing seems too much bother for them. The nursing staff are knowledgeable and always discuss any changes to the care plan to ensure that relatives are kept well informed. I have seen a remarkable change in aspects of my brother's well-being due to the attention given to meet his specific needs. The manager maintains a very visible profile on the site. She is approachable and has good knowledge of the residents and their families. There is a wide range of activities available for residents. In conclusion, Preston House staff go the extra mile and give me confidence that my brother is being well looked after and his needs are being well met- A big thank you to all who contribute to his care.
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to leave a review.
The rooms and public areas are kept beautifully clean and tidy. There is also a really pretty garden area where residents and their friends and family can sit out. The food looked very tasty with a selection of dishes for each meal. There was also tea and coffee with biscuits and cakes served regularly. There are a number of activities planned for the residents - crafts, day trips and concerts.
What makes this Home so special however is the manager and all the lovely staff who were so helpful, kind and patient and looked after my husband so well during his time in Preston House, especially so in his final days. Towards the end, someone would sit with him so he was never alone. That was very comforting for me and I can never thank them enough.
I would certainly highly recommend Preston House.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review!
