Thank you so much, Mike, for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. It means so much to all of us at Priors Mead to hear that Jean feels safe, happy and so well cared for.
We understand that having Jean move into care is a huge change for both of you, and we are very conscious that it is not just Jean who needs support - you do too. Knowing that we have been able to provide reassurance and comfort to you both means a great deal to us.
It is wonderful to hear that Jean loves her room, finds her bed comfortable and, most importantly, feels happy and settled in her new home. We especially love hearing that she never stops talking about how kind the team are!
We truly believe that Priors Mead should feel like a home, not simply a care home, and we are so pleased that Jean feels that sense of warmth, kindness and belonging. She has become a very special part of our Priors Mead family, and we are grateful that you have placed your trust in us to care for her. Thank you

Words cannot express how grateful we are to the care team and management at Priors Mead for the kindness, compassion and dignity they showed our father throughout his time at the home. Dad lived with vascular dementia, and every member of staff cared for him with patience, understanding and genuine warmth.
You took the time to know him as a person - his interests, his personality, even his stubborn moments - and always encouraged him gently, especially with eating. The respect you showed him meant so much to us. We always felt welcomed when visiting, fully involved in his care, and communication with the team was excellent throughout.
Caring for a loved one with dementia is never easy and can be an emotional roller-coaster, but knowing Dad was safe, comfortable and truly cared for gave us enormous peace of mind. Dad passed away peacefully last Friday, and although this is a sad time, we take comfort in knowing he spent his final years surrounded by people who genuinely cared for him.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. It means more to us than you could know to hear that you felt your Dad was cared for with the kindness, dignity, patience and compassion he deserved.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. It means more to us than you could know to hear that you felt your Dad was cared for with the kindness, dignity, patience and compassion he deserved.
It was a privilege for all of us at Priors Mead to have been part of your Dad's life and to get to know him as the person he was - including his personality, interests and, of course, those occasional stubborn moments! We will remember him fondly.
We understand that entrusting the care of someone you love to others is never easy, particularly when they are living with dementia. We are so pleased that you felt welcomed, involved and kept informed throughout his time with us. Knowing that we were able to give you some peace of mind and reassurance that Dad was safe, comfortable and cared for means a great deal to the whole team.
With kind regardsSandra and her team

We cannot thank the team at Priors Mead enough for the kindness, compassion and dignity they have shown our mother since she joined the home in February 2025. Mum has advanced dementia, and every member of staff took the time to get to know her as an individual, understanding her routines, personality and the little things that helped her feel settled. We always felt welcomed when visiting and involved in her care, and communication with the team was excellent throughout. Caring for a loved one with dementia is never easy, but knowing Mum was safe, happy and genuinely cared for gave our family enormous peace of mind. Thank you to everyone at Priors Mead for your professionalism, patience and unwavering kindness. We would wholeheartedly recommend Priors Mead to any family looking for high-quality dementia care.
It has been a privilege to care for your mum, and we are truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience. Knowing that you felt welcomed, involved, and reassured throughout your mum's stay means a great deal to all of...

My Mother moved to Priors Mead over two years ago, she found it difficult to settle there as she felt she could manage at home but was clearly at risk. Because of the patience and support she was given she died happily settled at 105 years of age. The excellent care increased with her needs and we , the family consider it to be the best care home, second to none. We also received so much support as a family. I cannot praise the staff and management enough. Thanks to all at Priors Mead
It was a privilege to care for your mother and to support both her and your family over the past two years. We are so pleased that, with time, patience, and support, she was able to feel settled and happy with us. Reaching the wonderful age of 105 is truly remarkable, and we are honoured to have...

Your comments mean a great deal to all of our staff and management team, so your feedback is deeply appreciated.
Thank you again for your trust and support.
After my Dad passed away very quickly in July 2025 we had to find a care home which met my Mum's needs very quickly. We are so pleased we found Priors Mead and even more pleased they had one room available. It was a very unsettling time for my Mum having just lost her husband and we moved her from...
The staff are all absolutely fantastic and my Mum couldn't be any better looked after. There is always an activity the residents can partake in or always another resident or staff member they can just sit and talk to if they wish. Mum feels safe and cared for and that's our main wish for her. We are so very grateful to Claire and all her team there, they really do a fantastic job!
Thank you Suzy, we are glad you are happy with Mum care
As a family, we are all exceptionally happy with the care that Mum is receiving at Priors Mead. We moved her here from another home that was not good for her, as it was too impersonal. At Priors Mead though, the staff all know her very well indeed, as it's a relatively small home, and this means...
As a family, we are all exceptionally happy with the care that Mum is receiving at Priors Mead. We moved her here from another home that was not good for her, as it was too impersonal. At Priors Mead though, the staff all know her very well indeed, as it's a relatively small home, and this means that her care is the best it can be.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, it truly means so much to us and we are deeply grateful. Caring for Mum and having your family as part of our Priors Mead community is genuinely a delightful experience.
Priors Mead is a wonderful home for my mum. They are so caring, friendly and patient. The facilities are excellent, the entertainment programme is well thought out, I couldn’t think of a better place for her to be.

The staff have made every effort to get to know him and have made sure he has settled well into his new home. I think his health, thanks to the careful monitoring shown by care staff, has improved. My father is very pleased with his room and often tells me he enjoys the meals that are provided. Thank you Priors Mead.
Thank you for your lovely review. It's lovely to hear that Dad's health is improving and he's settling into Priors Mead.

Priors Mead is a lovely place for my mother to live, all the rooms are nicely decorated with lovely furnishings, all the staff go above and beyond to look after the residents, they get attention throughout the day and all staff are happy and cheerful. I can't fault anyone, management are very nice and helpful and food is great, I have eaten there a few times.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Kim. It's lovely to hear the team are recognised, alongside the hard work we put in to ensure the highest quality standards. Thank you again.
The atmosphere in the home is tranquil and calm. It doesn’t smell; there are fresh flowers around to bring the outdoors in. There are lots of places to sit quietly...
Lots of activities to stimulate residents and activities to include their families.
We sincerely appreciate your heartfelt review. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we're truly grateful for your time and feedback. It has been our pleasure to welcome and care for Mum. She has adjusted seamlessly, it's hard to believe she only recently joined us! Thank you once more for your kindness and trust.
My mother was a resident at Priors Mead for just over two years. She lived at home till the age of 90. The staff encouraged Mum to be involved in activities which she enjoyed. In the last few months of her life, the staff were fantastic encouraging her to eat and waving to her every time they...
Thank you all again for the care you gave Mum she was always kept comfortable. I would recommend Priors to friends and feel very fortunate to have found Priors Mead.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, this honestly means so much to us and we are very grateful. Mum was very special to us and is already missed so much by all of the Priors Mead team and residents. Please feel free to pop in at any time, we promise there will always be a cup of tea here for you!

My mother spent over 3 years at Priors Mead, until her death there in May 2023. The staff were always caring, friendly and welcoming and my mother settled in quickly. She liked her room and enjoyed the activities they put on - they have plenty of them - and was content there and very well looked after. During her last few months, she deteriorated a lot physically and mentally and I was especially impressed and grateful that the staff were still so very caring with her. When she was no longer able to get up and had to stay in bed, they put everything in place for her comfort and were very attentive as dementia resulted in her forgetting where she was and getting distressed. They were very kind to me and other family/friends at this difficult time. I thoroughly recommend Priors Mead.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, this honestly means so much to us and we are very grateful. Taking care of Mum and having your family be a part of our Priors Mead community has truly been a delightful experience.
My dear Mum has been a resident at Priors Mead since January 2018 and is very happy there. The management and staff look after her extremely well, they are caring and compassionate. Health complications have resulted in hospital visits but these are dealt with efficiently and I am always kept...
She is well fed and watered and enjoys all the entertainments laid on. I would recommend Priors Mead to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, this honestly means so much to us and we are very grateful. It has been and continues to be, an absolute pleasure caring for Mum. Thank you for your continued support.

Initially, my father and mother joined Priors Mead in mid-2018. In choosing the home, several were visited and Priors Mead was, by far the best. Dad had to move to another home because he needed nursing care and this reinforced the view that Priors Mead offered a much better standard of care than the norm. COVID and the nationwide issues in the care industry has inevitably impacted on all homes. However, Priors Mead continues to provide an excellent level of care and the head of home deserves a special mention in dealing so well with the challenges of running a care facility.

My gran stayed at Priors Mead Care Home for some respite care following some difficulties at home and our family could not believe the difference in her whilst with them! She was happier, brighter, well fed, and constantly amused! Her room was lovely with views of their stunning garden and my gran particularly loved the magnolia tree right outside her window. Every member of the team we came across was friendly and happy to help - I wouldn’t mind staying there myself! Huge thanks to all, I am sure she will be back!
I visit regularly and must say how impressed I've been with the friendly staff who are clearly professional, caring and treat the...
The home is warm and inviting and visitors are made welcome any time and greeted with an offer of a hot drink, which is much appreciated.

My mother arrived at Priors Mead Care Home just two years ago at the height of Covid. During her stay there she has been looked after by a kind and caring staff. The staff treat all the residents with great respect in their declining years. My mother is happy in this caring environment.
