Review from Maureen L (Respite Resident) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I stayed at The Priors for 2 weeks' respite care following a hip replacement at the hospital immediately opposite the building. I was collected by wheelchair - so convenient, and better than attempting to sit in car. I was treated with care and respect by an amazing team of carers. I felt no indignity in the personal care received. My room and bathroom were faultless. The setting of The Prior, delightful. I am so glad I chose to stay there.

Review from K F (Husband of Resident) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A close relative has been under care at PRIORS.
The food, activities and facilities are good.
However ,the attitude and lack of care from staff especially night staff was poor and uncaring on many many occasion.
The floor managers show little interest and are poor at managing their staff and constructive complaints.
The higher managers the same.
Their claim of 6 minutes call time are simply not true.
I could go on but needless to say, not enough space.

Poor staff,poor management,expensive as well.

Review from Andy L (Son of Resident) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Priors house was chosen by my mum for 2 weeks respite care following a hip replacement in the middle of June 2025. She made this selection based on visiting a family friend with dementia whom is a resident there, saying how it was the nicest care home she had ever been to (and we had spent some time looking for a home for my dad, before he passed away, so. We had looked at a few).
The staff are all so friendly and professional (a perfect combination), they couldn't do enough for mum while she was there, gave her time to settle in, never pushed her to do activities she didn't want to, but were always available to help when needed. The room was extremely nice, and always cleaned but we never knew when! Must be when mum went to eat, but small touches like that were very impressive.

The place is very nice, but it is the staff that make this the place mum chose, and she knows she made the right choice.

Review from Fiona K (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When our Dad's vascular dementia suddenly accelerated we needed to find dementia care urgently. We found Priors House by using an internet search engine to search for 'dementia care in the local area' and were firstly drawn in because of the proximity to where our Mum lives (10 minutes drive away). My brother made contact with one staff member in particular who was able to accommodate a visit the next day; she spent a lot of time showing my brother and sister-in-law around and they were incredibly impressed with what they saw. I then took my Dad for an assessment a few days later, and emotionally painful as this was, we were both made to feel very welcome and again, the staff member made plenty time for us and was so caring and understanding. Two days later, my brother and Mum took my Dad for an initial two week stay. Again, they were made to feel really welcome and my Mum was so reassured by the number of staff and their consistent kindness and compassion. It's a lovely place with excellent standards of care and professionalism

Overall Experience
Il start with a very big thank you to all the staff . My mum could be and was very difficult with some of you . For this I apologise . You all showed compassion and respect for mum .I ate with mum a few times and enjoyed my meals ( often a sore point in care homes ) I especially liked the lady with the tie and her tea trolley . Fantastic touch . I thought your activities for the guests was good and entertaining . Not only in getting people out of their rooms but to let them meet new friends and be social . From the ladies letting me in ,to the staff who had to deal with mum, everyone was polite , happy and pleasant .

getting a bit teary now so im going to say another thank you all.

Overall Experience

Staff were wonderful with our mum in her last 6 weeks. She could be difficult but they dealt with her compassionately, indeed lovingly. Mum died peacefully and we are very thankful for that and for the nursing care provided. In the earlier weeks, when she could participate in activities, we saw photos of mum looking truly happy. Again, we were very grateful for this.

Overall Experience
Mum has been a resident at Priors House for 2 1/2 years, during this time the staff have been wonderful. The staff are very welcoming, from the time you step through the door. Mum has Alzheimer's, the team on Telford Suite fully understand her needs and personality. I have full admiration for all that they do. There is always someone around to voice any concerns you may have.
The activity timetable changes weekly, the activity team work hard at keeping those who wish to partake entertained.

I am very grateful and appreciate everything they do. Thank you to all the staff at Priors House.

Review from Susan A (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From initial telephone conversation regarding my mums respite following hip surgery and the initial journey from being shown around the home we knew we had found the right place for mum. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating to mums every need. Mum only went in yesterday but within the hour, they had brought her coffee, cakes, showered and helped dress her, it was amazing, both mum and I felt very comfortable in everybody's presence. The carers always have smiles on their faces. Three members of staff in particular were amazing in securing a ground floor room for mum with a small patio. It is early days but I know that mum will be made to feel at home for her two weeks respite, the only concern we have is she may not want to come out!. Thank you everybody for making mum so welcome.

Overall Experience
When we first got in touch by phone with Priors House, they immediately made us feel welcome. The CR Manager showed us around the same afternoon. We were very impressed with everything we saw and all the facilities.
My sister was admitted within a few days. The CR Manager was exceptional in making everything happen smoothly, including a transfer from a London hospital.

The staff I have had contact with so far have been excellent and very helpful.

Review from Naomi S (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum attended Priors House for two weeks respite care. Although being nervous about her new surroundings and meeting the other residents and members of staff, she soon settled in.
The staff are fabulous and very caring, the care home lovely, that's why we chose it! Mum soon got to know plenty of residents and there are lots of activities to keep everyone entertained on a daily basis. Relatives and friends are made to feel very welcome and part of the wider Priors House family.

I would thoroughly recommend.

Review from Louise W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother was recently discharged from hospital and there was no way that she could return to her Assisted Living flat . The process of moving Mum to Priors House went smoothly and not only Mum but the family were welcomed warmly by the staff. The staff here are outstanding and clearly take pride in what they do - it shows!! Sadly mum is declining but there's no other place I'd rather she be than being looked after by this professional and dedicated team.

All of the staff at Priors House are exceptionally warm and caring. I always receive a warm welcome.
Today 21st March was a lovely celebration day. It was well organised and the staff, as always, ensured all of the residents enjoyed the afternoon. Fabulous food too! Nice to meet the new CRM who introduced herself and asked for feedback.

Of course I have to give a special shout out for the staff on Victoria Wing who care for my Aunty. They are an incredible team of professionals. Thank you for all you do each and every day!

Overall Experience

We moved both of my parents in to Priors House in December 2024. Mum needed end-of-life care for her cancer and Dad needed more day-to-day care for his dementia. I just have no words to describe how amazing this care home (and it's staff) are. They rescued us in our hour of need and showed unbelievable care, professionalism and love from the moment that we walked in the door.

My mother was a resident for just over a year. The care she received during this period was excellent, particularly in her last few weeks. The whole team showed good understanding and empathy as well as working together as a team with utmost team spirit. At all times they made family members most welcome and could not do enough for Mum or us.

Review from L C (Son of Resident) published on 30 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Having my Father put in two previous Care Homes receiving very poor care. I moved him to Priors House, Leamington, yes a lot of money but the value was extreme. All aspects of care, entertainment, medical care, reception, and office admin were 300%. I could not say enough to praise the carers. One carer in particular was a diamond and worked well with my Dad who was causing trouble constantly with dementia. Already recommended Priors House to others.

How lovely of you to take the time to leave such a wonderful review.

Francine SummersJob Title:Home Manager

I managed care homes before I joined Care UK and was even an area manager, overseeing a number of homes. I’ve also worked as a ‘turnaround manager’ – helping care homes to gain regulatory compliance – so I’ve lots of experience in care homes.

There’s a lot to do when you’re a home manager, but the best bit is having a coffee with the residents and chatting with them. When I can I also join in with activities because it’s wonderful seeing residents enjoying themselves – after all, that’s why we do what we do. I love seeing happy residents living fulfilling lives in our warm and friendly home.
