Over all time Priory Care Residential Home has 90 reviews.
My mother receives great care and careful monitoring of weight, capabilities and behaviour. Reviews are called to inform of any changes due to her illness. The staff are kind and considerate towards all residents, regardless, even though this can be quite challenging at times. My Mum has settled in well and we are all happy with her care. Thank you.
A good sense of safety and security observed on all visits. Plentiful staff and very polite and helpful. Numerous activities abound, generally very good feel about the place. The rooms are very clean and comfortable looking also.
We are very happy with the care my mum has received. All the staff have been excellent.
I like having my hair and nails done as well.
I have become a bit more independent since I arrived and although I need a walking frame I am managing to move around on my own.
My husband was well looked after and always nice and clean. Thank you.
The first six months she has not been able to go out into the garden due to extensive building works and has been disturbed by the noise of the works.
However, these now have finished and the home now is very comfortable and beautifully decorated and welcoming.
The staff are very caring having time for each resident.
Mother is upstairs in the dementia area, where on occasion staff have to deal with upset and sometimes aggressive residents.
I have witnessed staff coping professionally and very caringly under pressure in these circumstances.
Looking after all residents individually is their priority.
I visit regularly five or six days a week.
My Mother had been suffering from a number of chronic conditions including End Stage COPD, which meant she was on a Roller Coaster of hospital admissions, discharges and home care. With each hospital admission, she came home having lost weight to the point of being malnourished, fallen (3 in total) and had more skin tears. The time came for her to go into The Priory where she died quite suddenly in the end. However, in that time she was so well cared for that, the difference was obvious just looking at her. After visiting and seeing how things were initially I had to return overseas and continued to communicate by phone, we rang sometimes late at night due to the time difference and it was never any trouble, each staff member was informative and helpful and always gave the phone to my mother to have a chat. It was very reassuring being so far away knowing she was getting such excellent care.
I would visit the care home 2/3 times per week. During this time I met most members of staff. The service given to my friend was caring, efficient and most of all they all made her feel special. Whenever she required medical assistance we were kept fully up to date. Due to the staff and management at Priory Care Residential Home, her last few months were made wonderful for her. I can't praise the place enough from the kitchen staff to management and everyone in between.
Priory Care has recently been taken over and I must say I am very impressed, the standards have improved 100%, the staff, the care, very clean. The renovations are fantastic, all credit to the new owners. My mum was very well looked after and I would like to thank all staff at the home. Thank for everything you did for my mum.
Having visited my mum most days until her sadly passing away in April 2016, I have had a first hand view of all the improvements that are being made, and not once have I had any concerns about the care my mum and for that matter the other residents received while I was visiting.

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

Literally, they make the work, work for everyone.

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.
