My mother was a resident at Priory Court for several years. We were always happy with the care she received. The staff were wonderful - they got to know Mum so well and were always caring. In her last few weeks when she was really poorly they went the extra mile to make sure her last few days were as
comfortable as they could be. They were also really good with us - taking time to talk to us and make sure we were ok too. Thank you all so much.

Reply from Cathy Charley, Home Manager at Priory Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your great review. Mum was a very much loved lady in our home. It truly was a pleasure to care for her. I am so pleased that as a family you felt supported by staff as Mum came to the end of her life.

Priory Court has maintained a high standard of care throughout my mother's stay since October 2022. The team has dealt with the advancing symptoms of dementia skillfully, in a professional manner, considering all the challenges that her condition presents.
As a result, she remains stabilized and comfortable,
thanks to an environment where the meals are of a consistently high standard and the activities program provides a critical social aspect to her wellbeing.

After 2 years of living at Priory Court my friend sadly died a few weeks ago at the age of 94. He loved living there and was very happy. And I had peace of mind that he was being very well cared for. The home has very high standards of care and he was cared for individually according to his own needs
which reassured me as my friend's needs fluctuated. Whatever time of day we visited the home it has a welcoming happy atmosphere. All the staff go the extra mile whether it's for meals or washing clothes or care needs they make the residents comfortable. The building is beautiful inside and out and I would recommend Priory Court to anyone looking for a care home placement. It's a lovely place. Thank you so much for taking care of my friend.

Reply from Cathy Charley, Home Manager at Priory Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you so much for this amazing review. Caring for your friend was a pleasure for the last two years. He was a big character in the home and extremely kind. He was loved by both Residents and Staff. We will miss him. Best wishes.

After a serious fall at home and subsequent hospitalisation, my mother could no longer live alone at home. We were fortunate she was offered a bed at Priory Court. It is still very early days, but she is settling in well. The staff and management have been so kind, helpful and supportive. Mum is in
the best place, and as her family, we have peace of mind that she is safe and well cared for.

My aunt was in Priory Court until she recently passed. I found the home was outstanding in its care and compassion that was given, especially towards the end of her life.
Nothing was too much trouble from any member of staff and I was welcomed into a loving friendly supportive home that cared about
the family as much as they did my aunt.
I would not hesitate in recommending priory court to anyone for care of their loved ones.

When visiting my mother in a Priory Court I am always greeted with a smile and politeness from all members of staff. My mother is always cared for, for example, she is kept clean, has plenty of good food, has a wonderful room and often takes part in the daily activities if she so wishes. I can’t praise
the staff enough as they go the extra mile to ensure that my mother is happy and healthy. I have experience of several other care homes and this one is by far the best in terms of care, environment, activities and meals. Thank you for taking good care of my mother.

Prior Court did an excellent job of looking after my dad. A family-run feel with a well-run effectiveness, I had confidence in their ability to provide the right care. As my dad’s needs changed, we were able to work closely with the senior care staff and management to adjust the care to suit his needs.

We were listened to but also guided by the team’s experience. We owe a lot to the Priory Court team’s ability to manage the day-to-day care, leaving our family to spend valuable time with Dad, reminiscing and making the best of that time together. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this great review. I am so pleased that we were able to care for Dad to allow you to enjoy such valuable time. We strive to have a family caring feel to the home. I will pass your thanks on to all members of the team.

I moved my husband to Priory Court Care Home very reluctantly; I wanted him to be at home. Now, I cannot praise the Priory Court highly enough. The management is superb, and the carers are more than helpful and friendly and seem to be happy and motivated in their roles.
Overall, the care and genuine
kindness my husband receives is second to none.
I can't thank Priory Court enough.

Following my sister's 1st full hip replacement operation, I had booked her into Priory Court Care Home for 4 weeks of care and recuperation. My sister lives on her own and is listed as a vulnerable adult with Turner's syndrome since birth.
The quality of care at Priory Court was exceptional and I
would like to thank every member of staff for their dedication and kindness to my sister throughout her stay, as it enhanced the healing process from her major operation and offered her peace of mind.
My sister is due to have her other hip operated on in early 2024 or possibly earlier and she will be returning to Priory Court for her 4 weeks of care and recuperation.
With grateful thanks.

I am so pleased that we chose Priory Court Care Home when we needed some respite care for our mother.
She was well cared for and made friends that she was able to join for meals and coffee in the mornings!
We were concerned that she would feel lonely but needn't have worried as everyone was so welcoming
and she became very fond of both staff and other residents.
She has said she will be very happy to go there again for a holiday if we go away.
Thank you Priory Court.

Mum is heading towards needing residential care but is very anxious about taking that step away from full independence. She had a week of respite care to get used to Priory Court in July 2023. I was able to view and choose her room from those available. It was spacious and comfortable with a great view
from the window. The team were so genuinely warm, friendly, reassuring and accommodating, I knew immediately that Mum was in the right place. She made friends quickly, ate better than she has in months and was seen to smile! I'm confident that Priory Court will be where she chooses to stay permanently.

Mum has now been resident in Priory Court for a year and the staff have been amazing in what has been a difficult time for the family as we were upset that we could no longer care for her adequately at home.

Mum entered Priory Court for respite care having been discharged from hospital but not able to cope at home. Within weeks she had made the decision that she would rather stay, loving life and her new friend, rather than returning home. She still enjoys independence but is safe, secure, entertained and,
above all, has no worries as everything she needs, and more, are all on hand. The staff are lovely, caring and thoughtful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.759)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.759) out of 10 for Priory Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.759 for Priory Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.759

  • 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 Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 20 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 20 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.
