All the staff at Prior Bank were extremely kind to my mother and to myself throughout the three months she lived there. This was especially apparent when my mum was at the end of her life. I felt, and I believed she did too, that we had an extended family who helped me to care for her. She died very
peacefully, holding my hand on October 23rd 2021.

Mum is well looked after and the carers notice and understand what Mum likes and how she is day to day. They notice and act if something is unusual. We are very happy with the consistent care she's received over the last couple of years and how the home have kept us up to date with any issues arising.
Mum says she's very comfortable.

The care home always takes the time to talk to me about how mum is feeling even though they are really busy especially because of the COVID-19. They make me confident that mum is loved and respected and that they do everything they can to keep her safe, well, and happy.

I am very happy with the care Prior Bank are providing for my relative. I find the staff kind, friendly, caring and are always welcoming. The management are excellent at keeping me informed. It is a big relief for me to know that my relative is being so well looked after and that she is being well cared
for in a safe environment especially in these difficult days of Covid.

Since lockdown, I've been kept up to date on Mum's progress. I have every confidence in the team at Prior Bank. In challenging times they've looked after Mum, kept me up to date regularly and now have the app that lets us stay in touch. Staff are excellent, nothing is too much trouble. And I can see
how much the team care for Mum.

All the staff are very helpful when we telephone. They understand dementia and care for all of Dad's needs. Dad did not understand the "window visit" and I really hope we can have an indoor visit again soon.

Mum has only been at Prior Bank for a short while but so far, we have been very impressed with the care, support and dignity that the staff have shown towards Mum and the family. From the home manager through to the admin team and care workers, they have shown care and professionalism and I have already
recommended the home to someone else. A big thank you to everyone.

From the moment my dear dad became a resident at Prior Bank, we, his family and my father were treated in the most respectful and professional way. Thank you for looking after my dad and making his last years happy and comfortable ones.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I find the main body of staff to be welcoming, caring and professional with most of them prepared to go the extra mile. They make a huge effort to mark celebration times like Christmas and work hard to provide entertainment. I am treated with care and kindness and my phone enquiries over lockdown have
always been treated with tact, consideration and honesty; vital to me during the lockdown. Food and beverages are very good, time and care is spent helping the less able residents to eat - could do with smaller cutlery. My only criticism is that the lounge is not large enough to seat everyone comfortably but that is the nature of the building. Well done everyone!

This home is what it says home to me. I have worked in care homes but not like this one. You don't see people crying because they cannot go to the toilet. You come first here and it is important for them to keep you happy. I paint whenever I want too. They provide every kind of pastime, puzzles and
help to make you happy. I don't feel consumed by routine, it's a bit like a holiday home; do what pleases you.

My husband feels settled at Prior Bank. Management and staff are kind to the residents as well as relatives. The food is good and nutritious. The room is small. I would like to see more personal attention to people with mental health problems.
Reply from Simone Clover, Manager at Prior BankThank you for taking the time to review Prior Bank and for your kind comments regarding our management and staff team. We ensure that each resident’s room suits their requirements and that this is as they wish with personal touches. Our residents tend to spend most of their time with others downstairs enjoying activities and socialising. Our care is tailored to each individual that lives with us and we would be happy to discuss this at a mutually convenient time.

My mum is very happy and settled at Prior Bank. She's made good friends, they do many activities, the staff are very kind and helpful. Mum is always well presented, nice and clean, her clothes are well-organised, mum has her hair done by the hairdresser every week.
Any issues I've had have been resolved
straight away by management. I find Prior Bank to be a very caring environment.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.839 for Prior Bank is calculated as follows: ( (329 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 385 Ratings = 4.839
  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 33 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 33 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.
