Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been a resident at Priesty Fields for 18-months and is suffering from severe Dementia, which is deeply distressing to watch. The building is beautiful and the rooms are light, bright and clean. The staff at Priesty-Fields have been amazing during her time here. They genuinely care, are
very understanding, treating people with high levels of respect and dignity. From management through to the administration and laundry team, everyone is pleasant, helpful and happy to communicate. Although there's been several changes of management during the last 18 months, I have never had any difficulty contacting them and have always found the team to be good listeners, approachable, and responsive. Following each visit, we leave knowing that my sister is being well cared for.

Mum has been a resident for over 2 years now. She is safe, cared for and loved. Staff clearly care for all residents and treats them with respect. They show the same care and concern to relatives and friends too. Priesty Feilds has a real community feel to it. I enjoy visiting Mum and chatting with
other residents. I leave knowing that Mum will be looked after.

Respite care only. Priesty Fields was chosen as first impressions were that it wasn't like I expected a care home to be. It was clean, bright and welcoming and no 'smell'. Mum was cared for as best able due to her mobility. She did say that the buzzer was not answered when she needed someone. She didn't
eat very well but that was not entirely unusual as she could be quite picky at times. Having been approached by the nurse hopefully that can be remedied. All the staff seemed to be very friendly and approachable. We hope to have future respite placements.

Dad is well cared for and the home is well presented and clean. He participates in the activities on offer and socialises with others - which is a huge positive, as he never used to at his previous setting.
It would be of benefit to him if the length of his nails were addressed more frequently (as
he doesn't like having long nails).
It would also help to have a consistent point of contact/key worker who could let me know if Dad needs toiletries bringing in. Or we could effectively investigate/follow up physio or OT requests with etc.

Care good but sometimes hard to find when you need them.
Excellent entertainment and partys, staff tries hard to stimulate the residents and will dance with the residents. Some really good carers who hug and kiss my wife. I'm very impressed.

Review from M B (Wife of Resident) published on 7 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The ratings in the boxes are too limited to give an accurate report, as I would not leave my husband in a care home that did not meet my standards. For example, most of the regular staff are good but there are too many agency staff and some of them do not appear to speak English. There is a new manager
who deserves a chance to put things right. The chef is also new, we are self-funding, at approx £1350 per week, which is why I consider it not value for money.

Review from M L (Husband of Resident) published on 7 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife has now been a resident for almost 12 months. The care staff are excellent, but there is still far too much reliance on agency staff! I sincerely hope and trust that the new management will rectify this. The argument that they cannot afford to pay more is nonsense if they pay agency costs. Unfortunately,
the standard and quality of meals is way below what it was and what is advertised! However, the care given is first class and nothing is too much trouble, dealt with in a warm and friendly manner. Overall, Priesty Fields Care Home has my recommendation.

Overall, very good with very caring and permanent staff but too much use of agency staff. Lunch varies but usually satisfactory. I cannot comment on breakfast or evening meal. Security is almost too good with access to both building, lifts and stairs coded which is very inconvenient.

Priesty Fields Care Home has become mum's home, we as a family don't see it as a care home, it's more than that. Every member of staff there treat mum like family, so kind, caring and compassionate. This gives us peace of mind that mum is safe and looked after. Any issues or concerns that arise they
are dealt with by higher management and resolved.

Excellent facility. Everything looks new and in nice condition. There was an issue with what appeared to be lots of temporary or brand-new staff. This resulted in the care being received wasn't up to scratch.
Poor communication between different functions was observed on a regular basis.

Review from P G (Friend of Resident) published on 5 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a friend of the resident - he appeared to be happy during his time in the home - able to have a lovely birthday with friends he had invited - a chef provided at his request a cake - lovely food - the use of a private room. Starting on the ground floor he was able to wonder and meet other residents
- either in the lounge or his room and have visitors at all times - coffee etc. always available in the lounge. Moving to the third floor and needing nursing care after a stay in hospital - nothing was too much bother for the staff who coped with his frustration as his illness progressed and he felt unable to do as he had previously. The food and drink provided - difficult to comment - my friend seemed suited and I was not involved with the care costs ie value for money.

My wife came to Priesty for bed rest Oct 2022 having a pressure sore, which is nearly healed now. She is now able to partake in activities which are still limited due to her mobility. The staff and carers always take time to engage with her, but sometimes I do have to mention when things are not right,
usually when agency staff don't know her needs. The meals seem better with a new chef. Overall the nurses keep me informed about her care etc. which I appreciate.

Priesty Fields is an amazing, happy, homely and friendly care home, with a very high standard of care, comfort and cleanliness. The staff are the 'heart of the home' and they constantly put the needs and care of residents first. They have provided Dad with a wonderful level of residential care, that
gives him a feeling of safety and security while still giving him a voice to choose his own daily routine, which allows him to live his life at his own pace. With the added levels of excellent nursing care at the home, Dad's medical needs are taken care of now and will be in the future, giving us the peace of mind that he will never have to move and will always have the care and company of these amazing staff who he has come to know so well. The home not only offers wonderful facilities but also has a dedicated team of activity coordinators who organise fun, interesting, diverse events that can be enjoyed by everyone, whenever they choose with no pressure. We feel that Dad is enjoying 'the very best of care' and are extremely grateful to everyone for their friendship, dedication and hard work.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.326)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.326) out of 10 for Priesty Fields Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.326 for Priesty Fields Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (33 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.326
  2. 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 Priesty Fields Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
