Wedding Bells have been ringing @ Primrose House

/in

On Saturday we had a special blessing for Linda’s daughter Louise, and son in law Billy, who got married in the summer. As Linda was unable to attend, we recreated the day in her room with Rev Jules conducting the service, and all the family all dressed up! Linda’s partner Alan also sang a song he’d written for the couple. Louise and Billy made the most of our lovely garden, having photos taken by their photographer! They also enjoyed a wedding feast!

Primrose House: Knight Frank’s Luxury Care Home Guide 2020

/in

Stonehaven were invited to Coutts in London on Wednesday last week, to celebrate the inclusion of Primrose House in Knight Frank’s 2020 Luxury Care Home Guide. 100 of the most prestigious care homes across the country are featured in this beautifully presented guide, so it was a real honour to be there and to meet other care home operators. Primrose House in Westward Ho! opened in September 2016. It’s location on the North Devon coast means that many of its 30 ensuite bedrooms enjoy views out to sea, as far as Saunton Sands and Lundy Island, on a clear day. The building was designed with the dementia resident in mind, with carefully chosen colours, lighting, textiles and lay-out. For more information about Primrose House, or to book an appointment to view, please call 01237 488023.
