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.
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...

Thanks to all the staff for looking after my wife
Thank you so much for the lovely review, we are so glad your wife is settling into the home. I will pass all your lovely comments on to the staff team.
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.
Thank you so much for the lovely review we appreciate the time it takes and I will ensure all information is passed on to the staff team. We are so happy you are pleased with the care provided and we will aim to continue this through the placement. If you ever have any questions or queries you can take the care manager or either manager in the home at any time. Hope you have a lovely day.
Mum went into the home 28th November never looked back - mum and her children are very very happy in every way. Fabulous chef, home cooked food, new friends. She never stops chatting all day and dancing, so nice to see. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, your words are so kind and I will pass them on to the staff team to read. Have a lovely day.
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.
I have asked the care manager to get in contact with you to look into your concerns. 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....
My mother sadly passed away shortly after leaving the home and that she had such care prior to her departure was a massive consolation.
Thank you for your lovely review, We are so very sorry on the passing of your mum. I will assure all the staff know of her passing. We wish you and your family all the best for the future.
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...
Placing your loved one in a home is a difficult and heartbreaking decision, even worse is visiting care homes to find a suitable placement, unfortunately good care homes are hard to find. I knew the minute I walked into Priory it was the right place for Mum, very person-centred care. it's all about the residents and their needs, staff are very good, everything is done with a smile.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We really appreciate your time and I will be sure to pass the comments on to the staff team.
Such lovely staff - providing exceptional care and support for my father. The building is very clean - meals are varied and all diets catered for. Communication is excellent - updates always provided on appointments and GP visits. Highly recommend.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we appreciate the time.
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.
Thank you so much for a lovely review. I will pass on to the team.

Meet Wendy! She is in her 5th year here at Priory Care. Wendy is a Senior and says “One of the reasons I love my role here is because I love to make a difference to residents life for the better” #meettheteammonday #carestaff #staffappreciation #makingadifferencetogether

I have recently been promoted to Senior Carer in the home. I have worked at Priory Care since 2019.
I love my job and especially like to work in the Dementia Unit, keeping the residents busy with cooking and dancing around the lounges.
I try every day to make the residents smile and try and make their lives a little more fulfilled.
We have a hardworking team at home and all work together to ensure the smooth running of the home.

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. I enjoy talking with the lovely residents and helping in any way I can to make their lives better.

Everyone meet Phil, our handyman.
Phil loves his job.
He says that keeping busy is what he loves and helping people makes him happy.

I want to say, what a lovely place to work, I love you all

I feel privileged to support others to live their lives to the fullest and help improve their quality of life. I am very passionate about my role and being able to make a genuine difference is so fulfilling and rewarding. I feel so blessed to be part of a team who put the individual needs of each resident at the centre of what they do.
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (NVQ3), Mandatory training for health care assistants, 15 care standards certificates, numerous in-house training and additional training sponsored by the company.
I make sure I engage well with residents, delivering a top-notch personalised care service, showing compassion as well as maintaining their privacy and dignity when providing care. I also have the ability to communicate, persuading them to make and sustain positive changes while their confidentiality is maintained.

I have worked for the company for around 3 years with a little break in between.
I have worked in care for 12+ years in all aspects including dementia and hold my NVQ level 2.
