The Priory Nursing & Residential Home

The staff are very kind and helpful, and nothing is ever too much trouble. My mother isn't the easiest of characters, but the staff do very well to accommodate her requests. It's a well-run home, and the facilities are great. Also, it's set in a beautiful location!

These two minor points are quite important to her. But she does enjoy the entertainment that has now started.

My experience of The Priory Care Home is very good. I have power of attorney for my cousin who is a resident there and feel very happy she is being well cared for and all her needs are being met. The staff are always very obliging and make time for me to discuss any queries I have.

They are very caring and are looking after Mum. I can't fault them.

My mum is quite happy at The Priory Nursing & Residential Home. She has been well cared for in all aspects of care. Her room is clean and comfortable. The staff are all very caring. Food and drinks are freely available to her, comfortable lounge and TV room. All together very satisfactory.

My experience of the care home is very good. The staff are kind and helpful. It's a well-run home and very good facilities and my mum feels safe in her surroundings.

I'm very pleased with the care and attention my mother receives at the Priory care home.

I have been here for five months and I am treated well. I did not appreciate the cooking but understand the difficulties. Activities were pleasant but infrequent. The room is pleasant.

Unfortunately, my father's stay at The Priory was not as long as we would have wished. He passed away too soon to enjoy the wonderful location which I know he would have appreciated so much when spring and summer arrived. All the staff are amazing. The care and dignity he received was faultless. The support given to us as a family at a very difficult time really helped. Thank you to all the staff. You all do a wonderful job and you will not be forgotten.

Our Father was a resident at The Priory for a couple of years until he sadly passed away in November 2020. He wasn’t the easiest of residents but the staff always did their best to accommodate him and his antics. We are very grateful for the level of care provided throughout his stay and especially in his last few days during a really difficult time. We always felt really welcome at the home. The staff are super friendly and very professional. We all looked forward to coming to have coffee with Dad, especially while enjoying that view. Thanks again to all the staff.

My mother has been at the Priory since November 2020. She is still very independent for her age and really did not want to move into a home, but sadly, my family circumstances meant that she could no longer live with me. It has taken her a while to adjust but she does now enjoy being there. She does not mix with most of the residents nor join in the activities, but that is her choice. She does have one special friend that she spends most of her time with. She is very happy with most of the staff and generally, she is well looked after and treated with respect. She is not an easy lady, so they have done well to build a good relationship with her. Due to Covid restrictions, I have not been able to view the home so cannot comment personally.

My aunty had been in this home for over 4 years and if you were to ask her she would say it’s wonderful, my opinion is every time I go to visit the staff cannot do enough for us. The home is spotless, the food is excellent, they all go above and beyond to make sure my aunty is happy. I had to give her some bad news today and they came to make sure she was ok and will go and keep an eye on her. If she needs a hug I’m sure they would give her one, they have activity days which all the residents love. I can not find one bad thing to say about The Priory Nursing & Residential.

My lovely mother really enjoyed her last three years at The Priory. Like most folk of her generations, she was fiercely independent and did not want to go in care - the first few months were difficult for all concerned - but as an intelligent woman, she realised that the love and care given to her at The Priory was in her very best interest. She passed away at 102-years in dignity, comfort and contentment. Thank you to The Priory team.

With his dementia, Dad can be quite a character, and they know what he’s like and make allowances for him. He enjoys the food and will often say that the meals are very good. When he’s been poorly, I have been informed and kept up-to-date on his progress. Recently, the nurses have been particularly fantastic, and I would like to thank everyone for their kindness.
