My mum was admitted to hospital in Sept 2024 after a fall at home Unfortunately her health deteriorated and she was placed on the end of life pathway. We was advised to visit a few Nursing Homes to allow her to be discharged. I made arrangements for myself and daughters to visit. We was so impressed
with the laidback cosy feel of the home we decided there and then to take one of the rooms.
On discharge my mum was still very poorly, she had stopped eating and was only drinking small amounts. She was very frail, and was suffering from dementia. We thought she would spend most of her time in her bedroom and was encouraged to bring mum's belongings to make it more homely for her.
Fast forward to Feb 2025. My mum's health has improved beyond belief. She has definitely got her appetite back! She spends her days with other residents, trips out and enjoys the quizzes and entertainment. This change has been remarkable. The care she has received has been remarkable. She is happy, we are happy!!

Since moving into the home, I have noticed a huge difference in my mother's mental health and appearance. As a family, it has made a huge difference knowing our mum is happy and well looked after.
My mum has said the staff are amazing and do everything they can to maintain her independence and respect
her dignity.
My mum has been able to make her room feel like a home. The matron and carers go above and beyond. It's nice to see my mother smiling again.

Dear Priory Court, With my father's passing, I just wanted to say a few words to you and your staff.
Although my dad was only at Priory Court for eight months, he enjoyed his time there. I was really impressed with the level of care and, in particular, how friendly and gentle all the staff were. You
all made Dad's stay there very comfortable and homely, I can't thank you all enough. The running of the care home is a credit to you all. Very professional and caring. You should all be proud of the work you are doing there, caring for our elderly family members at this often difficult time in their lives. Well done, I shall be forever grateful to you all.

We (her children) are very happy with the care provided by Priory Court for our Mum. She was suffering with dementia, poor eyesight and needed nursing care. The home is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Mum's room was immaculately maintained and she was kept warm. She must have
also liked the food because she ate and drank most of what was provided (we know this from the daily records). Another plus is that she often joined in with the regular entertainment - she loved a good sing-song. Mum was happy at Priory Court. She spent her last two years there and recently passed peacefully. We are very grateful to all the staff there for the care and kindness that they showed her in these last months and days.

Arrived 12/4/2024. No previous personal or family experience of care home life. Previously living at home alone for six years following Wife's death. Managing very well with family and carer help - fully mobile, active - walks, gardening, painting. Then early April persisting medical problems and two
falls at home (no injuries). Family concerns re welfare and need for 24-hour care. GP very helpful in making arrangement for residence at Priory Court. Early days regretted/resented loss of independence. Had to learn the house routines, but had to ask or find out by experience. Now well settled - warm, comfortable, feel cared for and cared about.

My father was placed at Priory Court via NHS after a very bad fall. His needs were 24/7 hour care. Upon arriving at Priory Court he had splendid care and attention. Communication from the home was outstanding, whenever I rang there was always a kind and caring response. My overall experience was splendid.

Our dear dad was in the care of Priory Court for just five weeks before he passed away peacefully. The staff treated Dad with the utmost dignity, respect and care, enabling us to spend quality time with Dad at the end of his life. Dad was clean, warm, comfortable and safe and my brother and I were so
relieved to find this home from home for Dad. Priory Court, run by the matron and deputy matron, is a real gem. Small, welcoming, warm and above all spotless. All the staff were so welcoming, at what is a very strange and upsetting time when, as a family, you have to decide that you need help looking after your loved one. The residents have plenty of input and the 'home' truly is their home. Well done Matron and Team and thank you.

Whilst in the care of the Priory, my mum was happy and settled and was cared for really well. In fact, nothing was too much trouble, as long as she was happy.
I would also like to thank them for their prompt action when Mum suffered a stroke, which enabled her to receive treatment quickly.
Unfortunately,
she passed away a few days later, but thanks to the Priory for their efficient action.

A very well-run home by professional and caring staff. When choosing a home for Mum we turned up unannounced and was greeted and welcomed to look around. The matron was very knowledgable, professional and switched on to everything within the home. All public areas were spotless as were the rooms and
all the staff were genuinely helpful, polite and caring. We had no hesitation in placing our precious mum in their capable and compassionate custody. From any subsequent visits to the home I have witnessed extremely high standards of care and compassion. The home runs like clockwork, very efficiently with experienced staff. It gives me peace of mind Mum is being cared for in the best possible hands when her needs became too much to meet at home.

My mother was discharged from Royal Preston Hospital to Priory Court. She had lived independently up to September 2023. Following two falls she has been in and out of hospital four times. The move to Priory Court has been made easy because of the professional approach by the staff and particularly the
Senior leadership team. All the staff have been polite, caring and mindful of the needs and wishes of mum. We are quite a large family and many relatives visit, including mum's great-grandson who is three. We have all been made to feel welcome. The facilities are very good and residents can join in or not with the various activities depending on their preference. I feel I can relax because I know mum is being well cared for.

I have had 2 family members in the Priory Court Nursing Home Lytham St Anne’s.
My aunty was in the nursing home 17 months ago - she was discharged from hospital and was needing palliative care which she received and she died whilst in the nursing home.
My mum was in the nursing home in January 2024.
My
mum was discharged from hospital after a 30-night stay... to the nursing home - my mum required palliative care - my mum died whilst in the care home.
Both my mum and aunty were treated with respect, all the staff were professional in their manner towards my mum and my aunty.
The communication from the matron and deputy matron to us was very good.
We all felt comfortable visiting as we could sit firstly with my aunty in her room then 17 months later when my mum was admitted we sat in my mum's room and had privacy to visit her.
So we could spend this valuable time with them both before they died.
When my mum died the respect she was shown has stayed with me as it was lovely.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.799 for Priory Court is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 373 Ratings = 4.799

  • 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 32 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
