My sister's room and bedding is always lovely and clean, the food is really good, all the staff are great, she is always nice and clean. They need more staff on shift, 4 would be better on each floor, as staff have to feed people as the dementia gets worse. I go and feed my sister at tea time. If
someone is poorly, it takes away one staff if an ambulance has to come.

I would like to thank all staff in this wonderful care home for treating my mum as though she is a family member. My mum had been quite poorly and everyone was so attentive to her needs. No matter what time of day I visit, there is always someone that can say how mum has been. Nothing is too much
for them. I highly recommend this care home to anyone that is thinking of finding a suitable home for their loved one. Totally feels like home from home. Well done everyone!

I have been to quite a few homes recently and this one is the best by far. The home is spotless the staff are brilliant. I went with a friend as her sister had gone in there she was very reluctant to go in to a home but she has settled amazingly. She said the staff are great and the food is good and
she is looked after brilliantly.

I have lived here for 2 years and I'm very happy. The day&night staff look after me really well.
Both deputy managers look after me, I really like them they are very caring and they always let my gp know if I'm unwell.
If there is something on the menu that I do not like then I am offered other
options by the cooks.
We had a singer on Wednesday and he was very good, I really enjoyed myself.

The Priestley Care Home is very welcoming. The deputy managers make sure that the place is extremely well run, this is reflected in the quality of their staff, care and food. The home runs various activities to keep all the residents occupied and to keep their brains active. I know that my mother is
in the best place for her stage of life.

Very clean environment, welcoming, caring staff. Very professional! Light airy rooms and a nice temperature. Food is good quality and an adequate amount of provided at each meal. Standard of care is exemplary. Staff are clean, tidy and well spoken. The residents are safe and the environment is
secure and pleasant. They are treated with dignity. Activities are planned for each day.

My son 2 years ago, knocked on Priestley Care Home's door, for that is what it is to me, a home, ever since. I am cared for, warm and happy. The cooks are excellent, I have to have my food pureed to be able to swallow. The doctors are excellent, the senior staff are extremely caring, always at their
best for everybody in our home. My nose is always running, I have Huntington's disease, I use a lot of boxes of tissues.

They are very kind and helpful. Comfortable.

I find staff are overworked as there are only two members of staff with 20 rooms to look after, I see this every day but still the care goes without saying.

My mum moved into Priestley Care Home in November 2024 after being in another home that wasn't meeting her needs. Since being in Priestley Care Home my mum has actually started to smile again and has found some vocabulary again which she had lost. All staff at Priestley Care Home show care,
compassion and consideration to all residents and family members alike. It's just like a home from home.

Warm, friendly environment. Caring staff. Very helpful management and staff.

During an episode of my Mum presenting with medical issues all the staff who were on that day dealt with everything in the most efficient and caring way ensuring my Mum had an understanding of everything by explaining everything. She went on to suffer a stroke unfortunately but is now back at the
home thankfully.

My mother has recently been for respite care at Priestley Care Home after a recent hospital stay. The care home treated my mother with respect and dignity. The care was excellent and she loved her baths. My mum's room was lovely, with a television. The staff were wonderful and nothing was too much
trouble at all. The laundry lady was great and made sure my mum's clothes were washed and sided in her room.

My mother lived happily in this care home until on 28.3.2024 she received a letter from the care home manager giving her 28 days' notice to leave. She has run out of money to pay for care fees and although I applied to the local council for funding in November 2023 they did not make any payment to
this care home until late April 2024. The care manager would not listen to reason from me and told me in no uncertain terms that 'this was a business'. I found my mother another care home but whilst staying there she caught covid and was dead within a week. All in all a truly dreadful experience.

Our mother has been a resident at Priestley Care Home for two years now, and she is settled and seems happy. I am confident she is in the best place for her needs. It helps me feel better knowing she is well looked after.

Ever since a good friend of mine was moved to the Priestley Care Home in September 2022, I have visited every week on a regular basis. During my visits, I am always impressed by the high level of support, along with the high standard of good, positive care. My own previous experience was in Social
Work and Residential work, so I am aware of the pressure of care staff, but dovish to say, the staff team are not only brilliant in the care they provide, but an asset to the organisation to be proud of. Thank you for my friend's quality of life.

Mine and my mum's experience, more importantly, have been very good.
Can't fault the staff under sometimes very difficult circumstances.
Overall, very pleased with the care home.
