Review of
Priors Hall
from L H (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 April 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The care provided by Priors led by the manager and supported by another member of staff is professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. The support given to me with my Mum gives me confidence and comfort that she is being looked after as if she is their family. The manager has been instrumental in

keeping the Priors reputation strong and in the forefront within the Corby community. The management team work hard to include the local community where possible in events within the home which is one of the best adverts they can have. Mum is so well looked after by the team of carers - the manager sets high standards which they strive to achieve.

Review of
Timken Grange
from A S (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 April 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The home is very well kept and very clean, although a bit like a hotel, not very homely. The residents seem well cared for. Most staff are friendly and kind to the residents.. Lots of activities, however some are quite extravagant ignoring more basic, simpler ones. Nice south facing garden which

could be beautiful, but doesn't seem to get used much. Whilst my mum appears well cared for it's sad that the things she enjoyed most in life are not made available to her at Timken Grange although I have asked on many occasions. My mum is certainly being looked after well, but not sure she is really living. Whenever I visit the dementia floor everyone is just sitting, but I hoped for a little more from Timken Grange, whilst I am not unhappy with the care at the moment it feels expensive if mum is going to spend most of her time sitting on her own and not getting to enjoy the simple pleasures which have been important to her all her life.

Reply from Louise Mulvany, Manager at Timken Grange

Thank you for reviewing Timken Grange and we are pleased you rate our cleanliness as excellent. We're pleased that you feel your mum is well cared for and is being well looked after.

Review of
Bilton Court
from Alex C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad has been at Bilton Court for over a year. He initially went there for respite as he was unwell and needed care. He recovered his health and decided to stay. He loves being cared for even more than he loved his independence and it leaves him with more energy for social activities. He still uses

a taxi to go out and meet friends and goes to his day care once a week as he loves to see his friends there too. He often expresses how safe he feels and that he has everything he could possibly want; good food, comfort and a beautiful view from his window. The carers even arranged an outing just for dad to one of his favourite places. He feels safe and valued. It is lovely to hear from him how happy he is. He is 95 years old and is receiving the best care he could have from a wonderful team. We are always made welcome when we visit. I would recommend this care home to anyone, so much so that at least one of dad's friends will join him here soon.

Overall Experience

Nan spent nearly 3-and-a-half years at Timken Grange and we could not have asked for better care for her. The staff were caring and patient throughout even when her dementia made her difficult or angry. There were always activities taking place that she was encouraged to be part of and she enjoyed the

food and tipple trolley!! Her room was clean and cost as were the other areas and I know she enjoyed being in the lounge for the company of others. Thank you to all at Timken Grange for the work you do.

Reply from Louise Mulvany, Manager at Timken Grange

Review of
Priors Hall
from Diane R (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 April 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The staff at Priors Hall are compassionate and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure residents feel comfortable and valued. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped for a safe and enjoyable environment.
The activities are diverse and engaging, promoting both physical and

mental well-being. It's heartwarming to see residents participating and enjoying themselves.
My mum was a Dementia resident at Priors Hall for 3 years and sadly passed away on December 24. During her final weeks, the care she received was exceptional. The carers showed immense compassion and supported our family during the most difficult times. Special thanks must go the team for their kindness.
Priors Hall genuinely feels like home, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.
Thank you, Priors Hall team, for everything.

What can I say? Having looked at many local care homes, Priors Hall was different from the moment we stepped in the door. It's all about the people. They're friendly, have time to talk to you, and genuinely care. The residents are content; on every visit, I hear laughter. I am so glad we found them

and have no hesitation in recommending Priors Hall.

Mum loves her stay at Bilton Court. She feels safe, the food is very good, and she says all I have to do is pull this string and someone comes. She is not very sociable, but there is no pressure for her to mix with other residents, which she appreciates. There is always a warm welcome for us and we

are thankful she settled from day one.

Overstone House
from T W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 February 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum moved in here in January 2024. We did not need to look anywhere else it felt right the moment we walked through the door. A wonderful warm atmosphere welcomes you into this modern spacious home. The care given by all members of staff and even 'behind the scenes' staff is far beyond what you expect.

Mum described it as 'like being in a hotel being looked after by family'. She enjoyed the laughter and fun during her time here. It put us at ease knowing she was happy here. In her final days in December 2024, Mum and all the family were surrounded by love care and compassion from all the staff and could not be faulted.
The coffee and cake offered is always a treat.

Reply from Karen Eastwood, Manager at Overstone House

Thank you for taking the time to review Overstone House and we are pleased that you rate our home as excellent in all areas. We really appreciate your wonderful feedback, which I will ensure our team see. Please accept our condolences again on the sad loss of your Mum, she is very much missed. We're glad that she was very happy to live with us. We aim to provide the warmest welcome and the best support for our residents and their loved ones from the first visit. We're proud of our lovely environment, a wide range of activities and home-cooked menus.
