My mother has now been in Prior Bank for seven months over which time she has been very well looked after. All the staff are kind and caring and pay great attention to her needs. We are particularly impressed with how quickly the staff pick up any health and medical issues and take very prompt action to deal with them. This is really reassuring for us and it means we can trust Mum to their care. My brother has remarked several times that he is so glad we chose Prior Bank and certainly Mum is content, comfortable and well looked after. She particularly enjoys having her hair done regularly and also going to the Friday coffee mornings when they'reFriday coffee mornings when there are different activities and opportunities to reminisce. Our thanks to Prior Bank for their great level of care.

I can't recommend Prior Bank highly enough! I was initially quite hesitant about placing my mother into respite care, but the whole experience couldn't have gone more smoothly.
From the moment she arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive. What stood out most was the genuine kindness, compassion and dignity they showed my mother, treating her as an individual rather than just another resident.
Seeing how well she was cared for gave me enormous peace of mind and allowed me to relax, knowing she was in safe and caring hands.

A huge thank you to everyone at Prior Bank for making what was initially a difficult decision such a positive and reassuring experience. I'm truly grateful!

The staff of Prior Bank are always cheerful, kind and helpful and, most importantly, genuinely interested in the residents. They have been the key to helping my Mum settle into the home and have really persevered to get to know her. They have also helped me to feel confident and at ease with her move. There is a very homely, personal feel to the home, which was one if the main reasons we chose it. She really likes her lovely room and the food is very good. She has got back to a healthier weight and a great deal of the anxiety she was exhibiting before moving in has lifted. I am very grateful and relieved that we made the decision for her to move to Prior Bank at a very difficult time. I have recommended the home to numerous people who are considering residential care options for their relatives.

My mother has been a resident for just a few weeks and is settling in nicely. The staff are excellent and provide very good care.
There are lots of different activities including singers coming in, quiz nights , being taken on a cycle ride ( she wasn't expected to pedal !) and walks.
The food is plentiful and of a good standard - her only gripe is that they get fed TOO much - which is not a concern.
Overall - a great care home .
I feel happy with the care she has received.

After caring for my dad for many years in our home it was incredibly difficult to accept that he needed 24 hour care due to his worsening dementia. I had previously visited a friend in Prior Bank and after making enquiries with other friends Prior Bank was regularly mentioned and recommended.
From our first visit we were made to feel incredibly welcome and every effort was made to provide a welcoming comfortable room and environment for my dad.
Dad has settled really well and I am always impressed by the quality and kindness of the carers and team leaders and the cleanliness of his room and the home in general.
Any issues are always dealt with quickly and efficiently by the management team and there has been excellent liaison with the loca GP and I am always kept up to date with any issues.

Having lived in her own home until the age of 104 my mother's mobility went so we needed to find residential care. We were very impressed with Prior Bank because it very much puts the resident's needs, daily routine and well-being at the heart of what they do. My mother is comfortable and has settled in well. The staff are very kind, friendly, caring and efficient and she seems to have taken on a new lease of life. We are very grateful to all the staff at Prior Bank for making what could've been a very difficult transition as comfortable and as worry free as possible. Thank you

My Mother in Law moved to Prior Bank in November from assisted living. Since then, she has improved with her walking, has put on weight and is eating well. She joins in the activities and is very happy and settled. Prior Bank has a very welcoming feel about it and nothing is too much trouble. We are informed of any new health issues promptly and updated regularly on her existing ones. The staff are excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Our mum moved to Prior Bank in July 2023 . She lived there for 2 1/2 years . All the staff ( ranging from cooks, care staff and management) showed support, love and care to her. Some staff went above and beyond with their care to mum and to us as a family during the time she lived at Prior Bank. It always felt so welcoming. Throughout Mum's time the support really was outstanding especially at the end of life care from care staff and the Chaplin to both mum and to us as a family. Also since our mum has passed away the support hasn't stopped from the Chaplain. It was a very difficult time for us as a family to deal with our mum having dementia and make the hard decision for mum to live in a care home but Prior Bank's support and care got us through it . I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home.

I feel so grateful to everyone there that cares for mum and treats her like a family member. I can go anytime to visit and don't have any restrictions. It's a truly calm and relaxed environment which is exactly what mum needs.
