I'm so happy I chose Priory Court Care Home for my mum. She continues to receive good care, in a pleasant, friendly, and lively environment.
The staff and management are approachable and more than helpful.
There is a good programme of activities and regular entertainment. In addition I'm now attending
a dementia support group at the home, which has been so helpful.

Having gone on the dementia journey with my husband (who died 5 years ago), now going on this journey with my mum is hard, as it is dragging up my past emotions. Information and support is vital.

Very much enjoyed the 'basic information' regarding dementia. One staff member was incredibly informative, love her passion. Would be very interested in further sessions and information, monthly sessions would be good.

After many months of anguish and heartache about my mother going into full-time care, my worries were put aside at how well she has settled in. The carers and surroundings have made sure that her move went well. We haven't seen her this happy in months, and this is due to the friendly staff and facilities.
Please, keep up the great work.

From the moment you enter the door, you are greeted with warmth and friendliness. Everyone is so caring and make you feel at home and welcome, even my dog. My aunt stayed for 3 weeks respite after staying in hospital. She said to me thank you for finding me such a nice home. I think it sums it up.
The food was wonderful. Staff were wonderful and all the residents look so happy and everywhere smells nice and looks clean. Thank you everyone.

Adequate but not excellent - unfortunately, due to the other guests being a little further down the old age route, there was not a lot of conversation to be had. As such, my mother decide that she wasn't year ready for long-term care.

Priory Court is a bright and welcoming home. All the staff are very caring, friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Any concerns are listened to and any problem is resolved quickly.


A suggestion for activities would be for the home’s minibus to be used again if possible, rather than being

parked up outside. There must be many residents who would really appreciate the chance to get out for local trips occasionally.

I thought what a lovely care home it was. Well happy my mother has been placed here. Nice and warm as you enter. Once the test was negative, you could visit the room. All staff were friendly and showered concern for good care. My mum now 101 has a nice room, bed with tv and en-suite toilet/bath/shower
room. The room is clean and bright, mother has happily settled in. Well done!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.602)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.602) out of 10 for Priory Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.602 for Priory Court is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 314 Ratings = 4.602

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Priory Court is based on 25 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 25 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.

Biba Mijalceva

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2024

My name is Biba Mijalceva, and I am the newly appointed Deputy Manager at Priory Court Care Home.


I bring nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals living with acquired or traumatic brain injury, as well as neurological conditions in a hospital setting.


Throughout my career, I have progressed from a junior nurse to a senior nurse, ward sister, and ward manager, honing my knowledge, clinical skills, and abilities.


Before joining the Future Care Group, I served as a Deputy Manager for over 6 years in a privately funded residential care home. My professional journey has equipped me with a deep passion for my work, and I am always ready to face challenges.


I place a high value on honesty and transparency, believing in an open-door policy. In caring for our residents, I prioritise understanding, empathy, and an open mind. I am open to ideas that can enhance and make a positive difference in the lives of our community.


I am thrilled to be a part of the warm and caring family at Priory Court. I am eager to contribute to enhancing the daily lives of our residents and look forward to the journey ahead.

Mandy

Mandy Melia

Job Title: Residential Support Manager

Joined: 2003

Hello, I'm Mandy, the Residential Home Manager. I have been at Priory Court for nearly 13 years, where I started working as a care assistant with no experience in the residential unit and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the residents and working with them. This encouraged me to achieve my NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care.


After a couple of years, I was promoted to senior care assistant on the nursing unit. This helped me gain more knowledge to complete my NVQ Level 3.


I was then promoted to Senior Care Officer and transferred back to the Residential Unit. I was a Senior Care Officer for around 6 six years before finding the confidence in myself to accomplish NVQ Level 5 in Management and Leadership in Health and Social Care.

2 years later I am now the Head of Residential Services for Priory Court.


Although the role can be very challenging at times, I still enjoy working with and developing relationships with the residents, and their families.


Charles

Charles Ashton

Job Title: Maintenance Manager

Joined: 2015

I left school at 15 years old and became a plasterer, a trade I stayed with for many years. I worked for various companies and eventually became self-employed for some time. I then entered into the refurbishment management sector, working for various companies. I was involved in many projects such as care homes and housing developments; some of these projects went on for five or six years.


I came to work to Priory Court in September 2015. I'd say the camaraderie with the staff is fantastic and I just love the warm and welcoming atmosphere here. It's very satisfying seeing everyone so happy and always helping each other.


I enjoy making our home and facilities safe for residents, their loved ones and our staff.

I hold a Diploma in Culinary and Pastry Arts, a National Certificate II, and British Standards in Hotel and Restaurant Management.


I am excited to continue contributing to the Priory Court community.

I enjoy coming to work every day and I have been here over 2 years now and hope to be here for many more.
