Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Primrose House is a really special place with a great culture of respect, filled with staff that go above and beyond for the residents. I feel very lucky we found it and extremely grateful that my dad got to spend his last days there, in comfort, attentively looked after by such skilled and gifted carers.
I would recommend it without hesitation.


My dad moved to Primrose House from Leicestershire to be nearer family, and he was warmly welcomed. With the carers quickly picking up on his unique sense of humour, love of Lego, and penchant for fruit juice he settled in no time. I was particularly impressed and pleased to see him out of his room, thanks to some gentle encouragement, and the way in which he was supported towards greater mobility. Unfortunately my dad's time at the home was far too short but the whole team's approach to his last days was amazing. I do hope they all know what a wonderful job they do, how very important it is, and how much we've appreciated them.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose HouseThank you so much for sharing such a deeply heartfelt and meaningful review.
It's wonderful to hear how warmly he felt welcomed, and how quickly our carers got to know and appreciate his personality, his sense of humour and his love of lego. These small but important details are what help us create genuine, person-centred care, and we're so pleased he was able to settle in and feel at home. Seeing him out of his room, engaging more, and growing in confidence and mobility meant a great deal to the team.
Although his time at Primrose House was far too short, we are humbled that you felt supported during such an emotional period. Your recognition of the team's compassion and dedication, especially in his final days, means more than we can express. We will ensure your words are shared with the whole team. It has been a privilege to care for your dad, and we offer our warmest thoughts to you and your family.

Mum at Primrose House for respite while we went on holiday. We had visited twice and very impressed with environment, facilities and cleanliness as well as friendliness and professional staff. Mum greeted and helped to unpack etc. She enjoyed her stay and said all the meals were very good and staff
lovely. All clothes clean and packed - though some underwear and t-shirts a bit 'grey' - maybe washed too hot? Would use again and would happily recommend.
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose HouseThank you so much for taking the time to share your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that your mum enjoyed her respite stay at Primrose House and that you found the environment, facilities, and staff so welcoming and professional. It's lovely to know she was well cared for and happy with her meals and support during her stay.

We also appreciate your comment about the laundry - we'll share this with our housekeeping team to make sure all washing is handled as gently as possible.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting us with your mum's care. We'd be very happy to welcome her back anytime.

My Mum came out of HRI after falling and a hip replacement. She was at home for 4 weeks and not coping. We were very worried of her decline in basic eating, drinking and taking meds. We showed her the brochure for PH and booked a visit to show here the facilities, a week later she went in for respite
care. She has been there for just over two weeks now and she is loving it, her words "5*". From the beginning all the staff have been wonderful, caring, cheerful and so helpful with everything. PH is very welcoming, so clean and tidy and so much space. We love the laundry system, little buttons with the room number on put into all the clothing.
The food is great, she has eaten more in two weeks than she has in ten weeks. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I went with my Husband to visit and he was bowled over by the care and love the Dementia residents were given, he actually welled up. Mum is happy and loves the company as she has lived alone for over four years now. Thank you
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose HouseThank you for your lovely review, i am so pleased mum has settled in so well at Primrose house and is happy. Thank you for your kind words about the team, the pride themselves on delivering outstanding care and your review confirms the fantastic work they do. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At the age of 94 the time came when my mum needed specialist care. Sadly it would transpire that my mum would only live there for just under two months due to her extreme frailty but it was huge help. The care and compassion that the care home staff gave to my mum was absolutely superb.The facilities
are brilliant. I cannot fault how she was treated from the management and care staff to the staff that looked after her room and those that tried to accommodate her eating habits as her health declined. The end of life care that she received was superb and she was shown great dignity. The care and compassion that we received as a family was incredible . I cannot thank everyone at Primrose house enough for their help. I would wholeheartedly recommend this Residential home if the time comes for you to make the decision to either live there yourself or if you need to arrange accommodation and care for a loved one. I wish that she had gone there sooner. Thanks
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose HouseThank you for your lovely review, i am so pleased we were able to support mum and care for her at Primrose House.

Primrose House is a beautiful care home based in Brough. It feels like a high standard hotel and is always immaculately clean however for us as a family it was very disappointing.
My mother in law was served notice from her previous care home due to her increasingly challenging dementia behaviour,
Primrose House assured us after visiting her to assess her behaviour they would be able to provide the care she needed.
Sadly 10 months later this has not happened and yet again she has been served notice.
We have moved her to a home that provides mild, moderate and complex dementia care but the actual move was traumatic both for her and the family.
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose HouseThank you for your review and feedback regarding Primrose House. I am sorry your experience was disappointing and we value all feedback which is taken very seriously. If you would like to discuss your concerns further please contact Primrose House directly and we will be more than happy to support you in this matter.

My 95 year old mother transferred from Wiltshire to Yorkshire recently. Her health has deteriorated which meant we needed to find accommodation suitable for her needs and under the care of our doctors. Primrose House staff and management have not only supported my mother they have also supported my
sister and husband who travelled from Wiltshire because my mother was not expected to last. During this distressing time, we have received kindness and good counsel to the extent that we are unable to find the words to thank them enough. Without exception, the staff and management at Primrose House are professional in their approach with empathy and kindness at every moment. We cannot fault them, they are wonderful. The activities are brilliant, from exercises to crafting, there is never a dull moment. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, cleanliness is a priority and care paramount. We looked at several homes and I am so happy we decided on this one. Mum is now on the mend thanks to them.

We needed to put my mum in emergency respite care, and from the first call, all the staff at Primrose House were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Their prompt and compassionate response reassured us that Mum would be well cared for, and indeed, she settled in very quickly within just
a few days.
We explored several care homes in the area with the intention of finding a permanent place for Mum, and Primrose House stood out as the best, by far. The quality of the food is excellent, and the facility is always clean and well-maintained. The staff show great care and dedication to the residents, following care plans meticulously and providing personalised attention.
Overall, Primrose House has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.

My mother has been a resident in PH for just over a year. From our very first contact, we were impressed by the managers and all of the staff. They were superb in helping me out with great advice and support at quite a difficult time. I could not have asked for more. I knew from first entering PH that
this would be the home my mother would transfer to. Her short-term stay in a previous home went very well but I needed somewhere nearer so I could visit more easily. The place always has a friendly feel upon entering reception with a warm welcome. The facilities are superb and the whole building is kept beautifully clean.
The care staff engages with the residents and there is always something happening to provide stimulation and excitement. Visitors are made extremely welcome at any time and staff are extremely friendly at all times. I have been kept very well informed of any concerns relating to my mother and I certainly have peace of mind that she is extremely well looked after. Thank you.

My mum has been a resident here for some time now and I can't fault the care which she has been given by all the care staff, and management which at times must have been quite difficult for them. The care staff have all been very caring and understanding and have listened to any concerns we have had
with Mum. The activities the home provides are outstanding along with the meals provided. We are always made to feel very welcome and part of the team. There are always going to be the odd problems but these are resolved professionally and with care and consideration.

Having visited Primrose House last week my wife and I were keen to move my mum from her care home where she has been living for the past 4 years as quickly as possible even though she is diagnosed with Parkinson's, Dementia, and Atrial Fibrillation. This was a big move for us but the Care Home Manager
and his staff made our experience very much more comfortable. The facilities at the care home are amazing but it's not what attracted us the most, it was the people who were going to care for my mum. The service users all seemed so happy and content, engaged with a whole raft of activities. The staff were equally as happy and engaged. This was all witnessed during a visit which was not prearranged. During the last few days, we received great support with finance, transfer arrangements, planning, and above all reassurance that my mum would transfer successfully and would receive the care and stimulation she needed. It is only day one but they have been true to their word, and we are so grateful.

We have just moved our lovely mother-in-law into Primrose after looking last week. We saw the manager on the first day who has been fantastic in sorting the care and has a true passion for this amazing place along with his whole team. My mum-in-law had such a lack of stimulation in her previous care
home, that she was not looked after half as much as she had been on her first day here at Primrose. Her clothes have a special tag so they know they're hers, the small but special touches, the personal care plan, the activities, the love. We know everything is wonderful already and we have definitely made the right choice. We cannot thank the whole team enough, they know her already and she's part of the family. Thank you.

(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 32 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.
