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.
The residents at Bluebell House and Primrose House, our homes in Westward Ho! enjoyed a visit from a very lovely owl today. For most it was the first time they had actually held an owl. It was fantastic to see their faces and listen to them talking about her with her owner Nick.
