Mum took up residency at Prior Bank at the beginning of July. The management team were super helpful and efficient throughout the transfer process. All of the staff that I have dealt with have been lovely. The building is very homely and clean.

The staff at Prior Bank are brilliant! They are kind, caring, hard-working and committed to treating the residents with compassion and dignity. The food looks tasty and meal times are a real social highlight for the residents. Staff make an effort to celebrate special days at every opportunity.
A highlight for us was the pastor (who is also a shift leader). He led church services every week, and was amazing when my mother-in -law passed away - he led the funeral (which was lovely because he knew her well) and was a great comfort to us all.

My Mum moved to Prior Bank in June 2023. Whilst her dementia has deteriorated since then, the staff have shown continued care and compassion. We are updated as and when necessary and can call at anytime for a chat with the home manager.


Their hard work and dedication doesn't go unnoticed and we

appreciate all they do to keep Mum safe and well looked after.

Really can't say how good Prior Bank is. The kind and caring staff and management at PB have really helped mum settle in so quickly, and helped us feel we made the right decision when the time came and mum couldn't live on her own anymore. She has only been there since February and she has made some
new friends and gets on really well with the staff. Plenty of varied activities for residents. Mum joins in with the activities regularly. Good to have a quiet lounge for when residents need a break from the every day hustle & bustle. Also nice for visitors to sit and chat quietly. As for PB itself the staff are amazing, the cleanliness levels are excellent, rooms are well kept. Cannot praise the staff enough. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending PB to anybody.

My aunt went into Prior Bank full time on the 3rd April, all the staff made her very welcome and eased her transition into care.
Myself and my sister feel that my aunt is now well cared for, treated with respect and is starting to look more her former self.
Thanks to all the team

Mum has been at Prior Bank for four years now. She is well cared for, always well turned out and well fed. She says that the food is great. The staff are kind and encouraging and respond to needs. Staff and management are responsive to concerns. There are plenty of activities, including church
services, which are appreciated. Many events are commemorated and celebrated. Prior Bank is well cared for and well presented. We are confident that mum is safe and well monitored.

All the staff at Prior Bank care home are always helpful and friendly. I feel I can approach them and talk to them about anything that may be concerning me. Similarly, they will get in touch if there is anything they need to talk to me about. They were especially helpful on my mum's 90th birthday last
November, providing sandwiches and drinks in the quiet room.
Reply from Simone Clover, Manager at Prior Bank

Thank you for taking the time to review Prior Bank and we are pleased that you rate our care/ support as excellent. It was our pleasure to celebrate Mum's 90th birthday. We've recently decorated our bedrooms and also updated our bedroom experiences with new bedding. We've also enhanced our dining experience with new table cloths, serviettes and also decorated our dining room. We're glad you are happy with Prior Bank, where I'm always happy to discuss feedback to ensure that care and all aspects of day to day life are to the satisfaction of our residents and their loved ones.

Review from Simon R (Son of Resident) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very anxious about my mother coming to Prior Bank as she had always said that she didn't want to go into a care home. However, as her Alzheimer's progressed, it proved impossible to care for her safely at home. We live in the next street to her old house & visited her every day, and we had carers
coming in every lunchtime, but even with that level of support it was becoming unsafe once my mother started wandering out of the house at odd times.
So we were nervous about her coming to Prior Bank and feared that she would hate it. In fact she has settled in really well, and the staff are clearly fond of her. She clearly enjoys having people around all the time, and - to our great surprise - she has even taken to joining in with communal activities of the sort that she would have probably turned her nose up at a couple of years ago (bingo, singing along with crooning songs etc).
So very happy indeed, and it is a great relief that the staff are now responsible for her care.

I'm really pleased how quickly my mum has settled in she seems more relaxed, clean, warm and well-fed. The thing for me is I know she's very safe and I really enjoy watching her on social media when she's being entertained with all the different entertainers that go into the home. When she first went
in, she wasn't eating a lot but now she's eating well. All the staff are very friendly and interact with all the residents and all the families that come to visit. Love from the family!

As my mother has early-onset dementia and my father has recently been diagnosed with cancer, living at home has become untenable. As a family, we needed them to be somewhere where we knew that they would be safe and cared for. Prior Bank has become that place. It's close to their home and close to us,
as a family, to visit easily.
Although it's fair to say, that my mother has found it harder to settle and to accept the situation, the staff have done everything they can to try to help both of them. They have been very accommodating, and only want what's best for them both. We are very happy with the home and hope that both Mum and Dad will both realise that they are in the best place for them.

My mum has been in Prior Bank for over 2 years now & continues to have lots of happy days. The staff are amazing & nothing is too much trouble. The level of kindness shown knows no abounds & I am so grateful to them for all the little touches that make a difference. Mum thinks & refers to the carers
as her friends which is lovely. I'm so relieved that Mum is safe, happy & comfortable.

Mum has lived here for 5 years now and though confused at times she does feel at home. She enjoys the many activities and also how the staff has got to know her "ways". I feel reassured that all the staff have her best interests at heart and will always do their best to keep her happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Prior Bank is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.826 for Prior Bank is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 327 Ratings = 4.826
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Prior Bank is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
