Priory care Residential Home is a privately-owned Cottingham care home providing professional, individual and compassionate care in a friendly, welcoming environment.
The home has undergone a full refurbishment in the recent years and now has a residential unit with large lounge area, access to the garden area, dedicated activity space and its own hairdressers. Upstairs is a specialised dementia unit with a sensory garden in the grounds of the home.
The last section of the home is the palliative/end of life care part, which is complete with large bright rooms, facilities for families to stay overnight, a kitchenette area and a family lounge area perfect for the full family to visit.
It aims to be more than just a standard care facility as it strives to make each resident's home a place where they can retain independence, personal freedom and live out their lives with enjoyment and fulfilment.
The staff have many years of experience providing care to older people in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, where all services are designed to ensure that care home residents are happy and that individual care needs are met. Care workers treat all residents as they would wish to be treated themselves and believe that while old age, dementia or confusion might mean they can no longer live alone, it should not mean any loss of privacy, dignity or respect.
Priory Care accept private clients as well as local authority-funded clients, and welcomes day care visitors and those who have short-term respite needs.

There is always a happy, welcoming greeting the moment you enter the building and this follows through to all carers and staff. The building is constantly being cleaned and smells fresh. I am happy with the care and patience shown to my in-laws at this difficult time in their lives. They are always treated with dignity and spoken to respectfully. Staff are easy to approach and I am never worried to ask for advice or updates on my relatives health, etc.
Food and drink are plentiful and tailored to individual needs. Overall happy.

My experience when visiting Priory Care home is a good one. Staff usually greet me with a smile and I find my mother either in the Dining Room or her room depending on the time of my visit. Staff encourage friendships within the home which has been a real positive for my mother. For instance during a period when she was poorly her friend visited her in her room and asked if she would come to the lounge as she was missing her. This made a difference and aided her recovery. Also, I notice, when my mother has times when she is unwell staff make sure her needs are met for example, encouraging her to take in extra fluids and providing Ices to residents during hot periods. Residents have enjoyed singers coming in to entertain them and family members also receive a warm welcome. I believe the staff have residents best interest at heart and that they are very well cared for.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that your visits have been positive and that your mother feels supported and cared for by our team. It is especially encouraging to hear how friendships within the home have helped her, as maintaining meaningful relationships is an important part of wellbeing. Your example of her friend encouraging her to join everyone again is a lovely reminder of the caring community we aim to create. We are also pleased that you have noticed the small things our team does, such as encouraging hydration, providing ice lollies during warmer weather, and ensuring residents receive the care and support they need when they are feeling unwell. Your comments about our staff, activities and the warm welcome extended to families mean a great deal to us.

As the stepson of a resident living with dementia, I have been very reassured by the care provided here. The staff are kind, patient, and clearly understand the individual needs that come with dementia. My parent is treated with dignity and respect, and it's evident that they are genuinely cared for rather than just looked after.
Communication with the family has been open and supportive, and staff are always approachable and willing to listen. Knowing that my loved one is in a safe, compassionate environment brings great peace of mind. I'm grateful for the dedication and professionalism shown every day.

Moving my partner into residential care has been the hardest decision I have ever had to make. I knew it was in our best interest but as someone once said to me "no one ever said it would be easy"! I made an appointment with a staff member to look around the home. From entering Priory Care Residential Home on that first morning this member of staff and other members of staff were so kind and helpful. As I left I already felt that Priory Care would look after my partner and that this was the best residential home for him.
In the months that my partner has been a resident, I have found all the staff caring and attentive to both of us. The care he receives is first class and I can't thank you all enough. When I visit I always feel welcome and leave knowing my partner is safe.

I'm concerned that property of residents sometimes ends up in another residents room. This is both ways, extras ending up with mum and her property being found in an other residents room. I've also witnessed some inconsistencies with moving and handling techniques, and lack of verbal support during the process when she obviously feel unsafe, whether or not this is the case. Mum now goes upstairs on a daily basis, but on my recent visits she is always downstairs. I've never been given an explanation as to why this happens. I would like to see her in her normal daily environment, and will ask about this at out next visit.
Overall mum seems comfortable and happy with her care as she tells me so without prompting and has a good warm, rather cheeky relationship with the staff.

Unfortunately on occasion, items can be mixed up but we do assure you this is a rare situation rather than a usual, but any time you see this please do let us know at the time and we can rectify this immediately. Your mum is now visiting the dementia unit upstairs in the home on a daily basis to gain more specialised care and activities, with a higher staffing number. I have checked on the notes and this was spoken through with your sister. On a happy note I am glad your mum tells you she is happy with her care and yes I can agree she has a lovely relationship with the staffing team, we are very happy she is part of our home.

I have found the home to be clean, warm and well cared for, the food is adequate and varied. The staff are amazing considering my wife has complex needs, the room my wife is in serves its purpose but I am afraid it is a bit like a prison cell where she can't see out of a window, other than to look at the passing clouds, and the door is constantly closed. Despite her dementia and parkinsons she still has some mental capacity and would benefit from a bit of mental stimulation but the home are not allowed to get her out of bed so in effect she is being allowed to rot in the bed, not a way I would like her to spend her remaining days, months/ years.

Thank you so much for your review and taking the time to tell us of your experience at the home. We are so very sorry your wife is bed bound due to her health conditions. I have checked her file and yes the OT's have confirmed again only last Wednesday that she is still to stay in bed in her best interest, the carers in the home are not allowed to go against these directions of care.The doors must stay closed as these are fire doors and protect all residents in the case of fire/emergency. I can see that you visit every day and the activity carer visits when you are not there for chats and simulation in your absence. If you would like to speak to the care manager on shift next time you are in the home to go over any other ideas for your wife's care she would be happy to see you.

Great care home where you are made to feel welcome when you visit. Always clean and tidy and staff are always ready to have a chat. My relative says he's happy with his room in the home. Some staff help my relative to do jigsaws on a regular basis. We have had slight issues with communications...
Great care home where you are made to feel welcome when you visit. Always clean and tidy and staff are always ready to have a chat. My relative says he's happy with his room in the home. Some staff help my relative to do jigsaws on a regular basis. We have had slight issues with communications between staff/management but the staff have always followed up in a professional manner and we are satisfied with the outcome. I have visited many homes in my former role and I have to say this home stands out to me as a particularly good one where staff really do care about their residents.

I started at Priory in Feb 2020, not long before we went into lockdown with Covid-19.
I had not worked in a caring environment before, so I found it quite challenging, to begin with. As we had no visitors there were lots of phone calls, Facetime calls etc.
with family members. My main job role is meet and greet, which I enjoy as I get to know the families. I have completed online training which helps to understand the roles of my colleagues as well as my own role. My previous job was in a busy reception, so I hope I brought some of my skills with me.
