Harry Priestley House

I have made a lot of frends here and the staff are all very nice.

I love it here. I have made friends. The food is lovely. My room is a bit small, and I would like a bigger room with more space. I enjoy doing the garden, and I have grown some vegetables for us to eat. We have a greenhouse which I look after for everyone.

Harry Priestley House is a genuinely caring and loving environment for all of its residents. I have been involved having enjoyed truly homely care care and attention through that time. I have no hesitation in saying that Harry Priestley House can be used (should be) as an example of excellence for all care homes.

To care for someone for 50 years and then to realise you are no longer able to do so is very traumatic. To find somewhere as caring and professional as Harry Priestley House was so wonderful. Every need is taken care of with love, the days are full of things to do. All medical needs are also attended to, visiting on a regular basis as we do, we are welcome at any time.

I am a regular visitor at Harry Priestley House and when visiting the home I am always greeted with a warm welcome from all the staff. All staff are friendly and approachable. The residents always look very settled and happy.

I have been associated with Harry Priestley House for many years now assisting in taking the residents on outages etc. and as my part of the friends of Harry Priestley House Association providing various comforts for the residents. I am always impressed by the level of care given. Outstanding.

My brother loves living at Harry Priestley. There is so much for him to do in the house and he loves helping in the garden and kitchen. All the staff are excellent and the support and care they give are second to none.

Harry Priestley House is a lovely home, I have made lots of friends and we all enjoyed a party for St Georges day.

Can I start my review with a massive thank you to the management and staff at Harry Priestley House. My brother has now been there for six months, and his confidence, self-esteem and demeanour have all improved massively. This, I believe, is due to the support, guidance and encouragement of the staff team. It's great to hear my brother talk about his new life, and in his words, "family"; he now says he's found his forever home. Well done, everyone at Harry Priestly House, it's greatly appreciated.

I am very happy at Harry Priestley House. I have done more things than I have ever done in my life. I have made lots of new friends and a new family, but I see my family in the pod, which keeps me safe.

My son has been a resident of Harry Priestley House for nearly 20-years; he is very happy there. During that time, never once has he expressed a wish to come back home. He has his own room, well furnished with a TV and an easy chair. He has a good assortment of clothes, which he enjoys wearing, access to a shower and helps with his dressing.

I find the home to be very well run indeed, it is kept to a high standard of decoration and cleanliness. The staff are very kind and caring towards the residents, which are shown by the happy atmosphere which is experienced throughout the house.

My experience of the care at Harry Priestley House was when my daughter needed care after coming out of hospital following an accident in which she fell and broke a bone in her foot. Having lived at home for 51-years, this was a big adjustment for her. The staff were kind and caring, especially the manager who was always approachable and very helpful. Unexpectedly her health deteriorated, and she tragically died after 7-months there. I have not marked food, as my daughter's appetite was poor whilst there.

When visiting my friend, I have always found the staff very happy, caring and most welcoming. They show love and compassion for the residents. A very happy and friendly home.

We are pleased to report that Harry Priestley House is continuing to maintain an excellent standard of care towards its residents, including their medical needs. Our daughter has lived in the house for a number of years and throughout that time has always indicated that she is very happy. She requires an amount of personal attention both within the house and in connection with outside activities. We are proud that she is happy and long may it continue. In summary, we are pleased to rate the home very highly in all its areas of care.
