The History of Primrose Bank Care Home
Primrose Bank is an elegant Edwardian residence, sympathetically converted into a purposeful residential home for the elderly. The home is a family-run business and was opened in February 1988 by current proprietors Jacqueline Moore and Eleanor Abbas.
Since then the home has gained an excellent reputation among health care professionals and residents and strives to maintain it’s high standard of care and facilities in a homely environment.
Meet The Manager
Rachel Dutton is the Registered Manager at Primrose Bank Care Home.
Rachel grew up at Primrose Bank, moving into the front part of the building at the age of 2 when her Mum and Aunty founded the home in 1988, living at the care home while work was completed. Since then she has done pretty much every role from kitchen assistant to senior carer.
She then went on to pursue her dream of being a qualified nurse and worked at Blackpool Victoria hospital till returning to take over from her mum Jackie as registered manager.
She has managed Primrose Bank since 2017 and is incredibly proud to keep it as family run and owned. She is a huge advocate for person centred care, innovation and maintaining excellent standards.
Rachel is passionate about placing family at the centre of everything we do.
