About Primrose House Nursing Home
Primrose House Nursing Home is in Crewe, providing nursing care for older people and younger adults across Cheshire East, including many people living with dementia. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours is what allows us to look after people whose health needs are substantial and liable to change. Medication, wound care, careful attention to nutrition, pain and skin, and the close monitoring that catches deterioration early are the ordinary content of our days rather than exceptional events. For families worn down by a run of hospital admissions, the end of that cycle is usually the first change they notice. Dementia nursing is a large part of what we do. People living with advanced dementia are often assumed to have stopped noticing, and in our experience that is simply wrong. Tone of voice registers. Being rushed registers. A familiar face registers. So we protect continuity of staffing, we talk to people rather than about them, and we take the time to learn what soothes a particular person when they are frightened, because it is rarely the same thing twice. Families often carry a good deal of guilt about this stage, and part of our job is making the home somewhere they want to be rather than somewhere they visit out of duty. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take it as a floor. Visit at a busy time and ask the nurses how the hard nights go.
