"Dear Debbie, just a note of appreciation to you and all of your staff for the extra celebrations you organise for the residents and their families throughout the year. It is much appreciated by those who live there and their families, although probably not always voiced. You and your team are a happy band of carers and that is what makes Primrose Lodge a successful and comfortable home for the their [residents] twilight years, and it gives families peace of mind. Keep up the good work."

"Primrose Lodge Southbourne is a wonderful care home with a great community atmosphere. There is a great cross section of staff, male and female and mature and younger. There are always events and activities planned and yet at no time are the resident's obligated if they don't wish. The house is situated in beautiful well maintained grounds and there are communal pets and a fish tank, all things that I know the resident's take great pleasure from."

Mrs P
"I and both of my sisters have worked in nursing within BMR hospitals within cancer care and orthopaedics, therefore I feel quite qualified to comment. I can really never find things to complain about, never any aroma, always friendly. Mum would be quite able to judge if things were not to her liking. Well done Primrose Lodge, manager and staff."

Thelma
"To Debbie, all the girls, Tony, Steve and John. I just want to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for mum over the last two years and particularly these last few weeks as mum became progressively more ill. The care and attention you gave her those last few days were very comforting for me and you made my time of just sitting with mum more bearable. Once again, many thanks."
Sue
"I would like to thank everyone at Primrose Lodge for the care taken of mum during her stay with you. Within a couple of weeks, she was transformed into her old self and for the first time for a long time I had the pleasure of seeing her laugh, she was so relaxed and content. She always had a good word for the staff who looked after her, how caring they were and how she could not wish for better."
Gordon Birkwood
"I have only not long got here, but so far I'm very happy with my stay at Primrose Lodge. I feel very well looked after. I really enjoy the food I am given here and I feel I get loads of choices."
Resident
"My dad has been here for a few weeks. Lovely friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. Every day when we visit my dad, he's always smiling and having tea and cake and trying to laugh and has settled in very well. Any questions we ask are always answered."
Daughter of Resident
"I cannot rate Primrose Lodge highly enough. My Father has been a resident since September 2014. He went in for a fortnight respite care whilst some work was being carried out on his bungalow and when the fortnight was up he asked if he could stay. The residents rooms are really nice, spacious and nicely furnished. The staff are amazing. So kind and caring. There is a very homely feel to Primrose Lodge. Staff are really welcoming to visitors/relations and are always available to talk anything over. The food is very good. I have been lucky enough to have tasted the home made cakes. No wonder my Dad has put on weight! He had an awful experience spending 4 weeks in hospital and it was touching how upset the staff at Primrose Lodge were, when he returned to them in a very poor state. I feel they treat the residents very much as individuals. They remind Dad when snooker or cricket is on television. Again I would be happy to recommend the home to anyone."
Daughter of Resident
"The home is excellent and I'd recommend it to everybody."
