The staff whilst I was there were wonderful! Helpful and friendly. Room facilities, very good. The facilities are not geared up for wheelchair use, the lift and door keypads are too high plus exiting the building is very difficult. Fold-down shower seats (wall-mounted) in the bathroom would have been
a good idea!
Reply from Max Andrews, Business Support Manager at Primrose House

Thank you for the wonderful feedback regarding the staff and facilities at Primrose House. We also appreciate your notes regarding the wheelchair accessibility issues. This is something we will raise with our maintenance team to look at readjusting the keypads as well as assessing the accessibility of the building and bathrooms. We will be sure to keep you updated with any changes.

This is a lovely home and the staff are second to none. I have received so much help from them where other agencies failed miserably. I cannot praise them enough, including the chefs who go out of their way to support my relative with a special diet.

My initial contact with Primrose House was with the management team. I cannot fault their help and support during a very stressful time. I have found the staff to be friendly and helpful to myself at all times. I am very pleased with the way staff have helped my mother to settle and have shown her kindness
and attention especially when she has been upset. As numbers of residents increase I am hopeful that activities will become part of the daily life.

Since Mum arrived at Primrose House, she has been very happy. Each time I have visited I've look through the doors to see Mum before I go in and each time she has one of the staff looking after her. The decor isn't like most care homes and it feels more like a hotel. I have been really impressed so
far.
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Primrose House

I visited my father on a cold wet day and received a very warm welcome at Primrose House. I had an initial chat about his care in the coffee shop in reception with the manager who was able to clearly explain the physio and other treatments my father is having. Dad said he was really enjoying the food
and the staff were very kind to him.

A professional yet welcoming, 'nothing too much trouble', 'one big family atmosphere at this beautiful caring home. Our mum moved here from a home in Hessle where the lack of care was making her so unhappy. At Primrose House, she has received the best care from day one. The staff are so attentive and
genuinely interested in providing the best care to their residents. A high standard of daily routines, lots of stimulating activities: hardworking staff with a true talent for care which is fantastic. We believe this is absolutely best for our mum which is so reassuring and what our mum deserves. Thank you to all the staff for helping our mum smile again.

My mum has gone for 2 weeks of respite care in this newly opened care home. Mum is in a standard room. The rooms are hotel-style with tv and Freeview, lots of cupboard space with plenty of lockable cupboards and a fridge.
The bathroom/ wet room is spacious also with decent cupboard space. The dining
areas are again hotel style and the food, which I have sampled myself is excellent with snacks and beverages in between. Above all the staff are lovely, caring and can’t do enough, nothing is too much trouble. There are plenty of activities on most days with a cinema room, hairdresser and chiropodist who attend regularly. I would highly recommend Primrose House.
Reply from Meghan Tattersall, Sales and Marketing Manager at Primrose House

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Primrose House 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.878 for Primrose House is calculated as follows: ( (473 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 524 Ratings = 4.878
  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 is based on 43 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 43 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.
