Testimonial
I recently completed a 28-day program at Primrose Lodge and I cannot thank the team enough for the support and care I received. From the manager Johnny and his staff, to the care team and therapists, everyone went above and beyond to make the experience as positive and effective as possible. Special thanks to AnnMarie Kosi, Ken and Chris for their one-to-one support, which made a huge difference in my journey. The group sessions were well managed, engaging, and incredibly helpful in giving us the tools we need moving forward. The activities, from local visits to quiz nights, really helped us feel normal again and brought a sense of community. The food was consistently good, with special dietary requests handled without issue, and the accommodation was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I leave Primrose Lodge with a fresh start and valuable learnings that I will carry with me for life. Thank you to the entire team for giving me my life back. Thanks again
