I would highly recommend this care facility to anyone who wants the best for there family. The staff at Harry Priestley House are always welcoming and offer the highest standard of care whilst respecting the dignity of the residents. They like to keep you up to date on your relatives activities, any
health issues, also their individual care plan and needs with regular updates sent by post if you're not able to visit. They send regular invitations to group activities within the grounds of the home. Working in the care industry myself and having a resident at Harry Priestley House since they first opened, this home is the best I have come across with my 11 years experience working in care. The resident's bedroom can be made to feel like their own, they offer holidays and excursions catered to the resident's capabilities. They are all like a family, both the residents and the staff. They always have lots of staff on duty at the home, so you never feel a resident's needs are not being met.

I recently attended a coffee morning at HPH and as usual everything was lovely. Every time I visit the house is always immaculate and and well run , the coffee morning from what I saw was a huge success. I am pleased to see all the staff have a great rapport with everyone who lives there, I would recommend
HPH to anyone without a doubt.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.288)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.288) out of 10 for Harry Priestley House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.913 for Harry Priestley House is calculated as follows: ( (42 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.913

  • b) 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 4.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harry Priestley House is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.375

    • ii) 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 12 registered maximum number of service users is 2.4, which has been reached with 4 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
