A quality level of care for my mother that exceeds my expectations. An initial introductory meeting convinced me that Priory Court was the right choice. Every member of staff demonstrates appropriate values. Well done team! A purpose-built building, light and airy in design, situated in decent grounds
close to public transport.

My mum has been at Priory Court for nearly 5 months. Her health had declined at the family home and my dad was struggling to cope. We moved her to the dementia wing at Priory Court. The management and staff and the support team are great. Priory Court "cares" and I would recommend the care home without
hesitation. There is a nice calm feeling at the home and I feel so lucky we found Priory Court.

Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful most of the time.
The atmosphere of Priory Court is caring and welcoming.
A comment; the font used for staff names on the badges is too small to be read by those who use reading glasses.
The family have been very impressed with a particular Registered
Nurse - she is very competent and caring.
I have not got to know the other RNs in the same way.

My mother has been a resident at Priory Court for well over 4 years and I have been very happy with the care she has received. The staff are invariably loving and caring for her, even when she is being a little difficult to please (which occurs rarely)! My sister and I visit regularly and have always
been impressed by the warm atmosphere of care and good humour. We have always been able to talk about our occasional mild concerns (our mother always likes to wear a scarf around her neck). This is relayed to the carers who particularly look after her. We have felt blessed about our choice of home.

I felt the most important points in care homes are the staff, in this care home the carers are excellent, not all, but the vast majority.
Food was always presented well on the plate and looked and tasted well. Cleanliness and tidiness was sometimes lacking, however, this did not default from the good
staff.

I was very disappointed with Priory Court Care Home.
I went about a year ago with my husband and was pleased.
This time I took him out after 4 days.
I went in twice and found him in a very unhygienic state.
I had to go to his room and wash and change him.
The carers that I met were helpful and
pleasant but too busy.
They were very short staffed. 2 carers in the dementia ward of 15!
Food was good but the activities were non-existent.
I only found one of the admin staff had an attitude problem.
I have tried hard to get back one pair of good quality trousers and have phoned every day.
In the end, I shall have to give up.
They have probably gone awol like the toothbrush which was still unused in the packet after 4 days.
When I pointed it out it was then used and lost.
I ended up wondering where is the value for money in this establishment?

Reply from Aileen Nimmo, Sales & Marketing at Priory Court

In response to the review submitted on 21 August 2018 from a Postal Card.
On behalf of the Home, I would like to apologise if any distress was caused during your husband's stay at Priory Court.
Following our telephone conversation, I appreciate that you have brought your concerns to the manager's attention. We welcome comments from all people who use our services and where indicated, we aim to use these to improve our services.
The manager would like to apologise again for not meeting your expectations. Me and my staff at Priory Court would like to reassure you that we always aim to deliver the highest standard of care. From the home manager.

I was extremely pleased with every aspect of Priory Court. It was good to know my father was there for the final 3 weeks and 2 days of his life. I have recommended the home to several people already. A big thank you to everyone there.

Priory Court has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. All the various staff including management, nursing/care, physio, reception, activities, cleaning, catering and maintenance, are cheerful and friendly. My mother was looked after with care and kindness during her 12 week respite stay. The managers were
always approachable and helpful both before and during her stay.
If respite care were needed at another time I would be very happy for my mother to stay there again.

Overall care is excellent. Mum is well looked after on the nursing dementia unit. She seems happy although dementia is "challenging". She gets the occasional trip out which is good, eats well and is always clean and presentable in matching clothes. Overall good job by all staff on the unit.

There is a lack of feedback about the general state of the resident and an ignorance on my part as to the people/staff I should be talking about the health of the resident.

My aunt is treated with great respect (at times she can be somewhat difficult). She is always clean (clothes changed if she spills some food). She is always encouraged to take a drink. We are made very welcome when we visit and kept informed of any medication suggested by doctor/staff nurse.
The care
assistants are all delightful and I am very comfortable with regards to her overall care and so pleased that I was able to get her into Priory Court.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.751)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.751) out of 10 for Priory Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.751 for Priory Court is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 350 Ratings = 4.751

  • b) 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 Priory Court 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Biba

Biba Mijalceva

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2024

My name is Biba Mijalceva, and I am the newly appointed Deputy Manager at Priory Court Care Home.


I bring nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals living with acquired or traumatic brain injury, as well as neurological conditions in a hospital setting.


Throughout my career, I have progressed from a junior nurse to a senior nurse, ward sister, and ward manager, honing my knowledge, clinical skills, and abilities.


Before joining the Future Care Group, I served as a Deputy Manager for over 6 years in a privately funded residential care home. My professional journey has equipped me with a deep passion for my work, and I am always ready to face challenges.


I place a high value on honesty and transparency, believing in an open-door policy. In caring for our residents, I prioritise understanding, empathy, and an open mind. I am open to ideas that can enhance and make a positive difference in the lives of our community.


I am thrilled to be a part of the warm and caring family at Priory Court. I am eager to contribute to enhancing the daily lives of our residents and look forward to the journey ahead.

I love animals and have quite a few pets.

Fiona

Fiona Smith

Job Title: Lifestyle Lead

Joined: 2022

My name is Fiona, and I joined the team in November 2022 as a Lifestyles Assistant. When the role of Lead became available, I immediately put my name forward as I wanted to step up in making a difference and supporting the residents, enabling them to have fun and engage in activities.


I have worked in the care sector for the past 30 years as a carer, and then I became a team leader and medication technician in care homes. I have always involved myself in the activities at the care homes.


I am very crafty and enjoy the challenge of making things for different occasions.


I have a great team with me here, and I look forward to working with the residents and their families.

Mandy

Mandy Melia

Job Title: Residential Support Manager

Joined: 2003

Hello, I'm Mandy, the Residential Home Manager. I have been at Priory Court for nearly 13 years, where I started working as a care assistant with no experience in the residential unit and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the residents and working with them. This encouraged me to achieve my NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care.


After a couple of years, I was promoted to senior care assistant on the nursing unit. This helped me gain more knowledge to complete my NVQ Level 3.


I was then promoted to Senior Care Officer and transferred back to the Residential Unit. I was a Senior Care Officer for around 6 six years before finding the confidence in myself to accomplish NVQ Level 5 in Management and Leadership in Health and Social Care.

2 years later I am now the Head of Residential Services for Priory Court.


Although the role can be very challenging at times, I still enjoy working with and developing relationships with the residents, and their families.

Charles

Charles Ashton

Job Title: Maintenance Manager

Joined: 2015

I left school at 15 years old and became a plasterer, a trade I stayed with for many years. I worked for various companies and eventually became self-employed for some time. I then entered into the refurbishment management sector, working for various companies. I was involved in many projects such as care homes and housing developments; some of these projects went on for five or six years.


I came to work to Priory Court in September 2015. I'd say the camaraderie with the staff is fantastic and I just love the warm and welcoming atmosphere here. It's very satisfying seeing everyone so happy and always helping each other.


I enjoy making our home and facilities safe for residents, their loved ones and our staff.

Jerome

Jerome Koh

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2021

I joined Priory Court in 2021 as a chef assistant and quickly advanced to Deputy Chef. I am now delighted to have been promoted to Head Chef.


I love creating cakes for our residents and seeing their expressions of appreciation; it truly melts my heart.


Originally from the Philippines, I became a chef there before moving to Canada, where I worked for three years. I then moved to England to be with my wife and started working at Priory Court. I hold a Diploma in Culinary and Pastry Arts, a National Certificate II, and British Standards in Hotel and Restaurant Management.


I am excited to continue contributing to the Priory Court community.

I enjoy coming to work every day and I have been here over 2 years now and hope to be here for many more.
