Mum has been living at Priory Court for the best part of three years and is very settled and happy there. She has ongoing and increasing health problems and her needs are generally well supported. Matron continues in her efforts to make small but regular improvements to the home, resulting in a smart,
refreshed look and a more comfortable and welcoming feel. The staff are great and very caring, they seem fond of Mum and she likes them a lot. The food choices seem varied and I often notice pleasant smells from the kitchen! There are regular activities for residents, including quizzes, musical performances and trips out in the minibus. Overall I would highly recommend Priory Court.

I would like to start by saying how amazing the matron, deputy matron and staff are, they have shown my nan what angels they are. They provide the utmost care and respect any family would want. They are all so helpful with any enquiries I have. I know my nan loves the food. They have daily activities
which keep my nan and other residents entertained from bingo to keeping fit as it's all written on the board for us to see. I think it's a good idea also that the daily menu is on show for everyone to see.

A friend was admitted to Priory Court in 2022 following a hospital stay. Upon visiting on a regular basis I have been delighted by the calm, pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Her room is always immaculately clean, the staff are helpful and the building itself is well presented, well decorated, clean
and tidy. The matron has always been available for advice and support and has been compassionate and understanding. The staff are helpful. I feel she is fortunate to live here.

My sister in law has been receiving end of life care and support at Priory Court. During her time here there have been a number of challenging family relationship issues to deal with as well as managing her declining health. Matron and Deputy Matron have managed this sensitive and difficult situation
with professional integrity and mutual respect. I don't live in the area and regular visiting has not always been easy. They have always been available to talk to on the phone and have made sure that I have been kept up to date with all decisions to ensure my sister in law's best interests have been taken into account at all times.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to them and the staff for the excellent care my sister in law received.

We are so pleased with Mum's care here, she has gone to have everything done for her. All staff treat her and us with friendliness and dignity. Her food doesn't look nice look nice because it has to be blended. Mum eats it and loves the desserts. the home is so clean and never smells of urine like others.
The dedication of staff during Covid lockdown was fantastic. Mum's room has just been redecorated and looks marvelous. Marton and the deputy are always willing to talk to us and answer any questions we have, we are 100% happy with Priory Court.

My father was in Priory Court from February 2023 to September 2023. He was admitted following a period in hospital as a result of a fall. He had lived independently up to this point in his 95th year. The matron and staff were an asset to Priory Court. Dad was supported in his transition from independence
to supported care.
He preferred to keep himself to himself, probably as a result of being on his own for so long. This was also supported by the staff and meals and drinks were given in his room. His health over the last few months deteriorated and staff made sure he was nursed and his needs taken care of.
I am grateful that my father was in Priory Court for the last few months of his life, and even after his death, the staff ensured his dignity was preserved and an air of calm prevailed over his last hours.
Thank you to all the team at Priory Court.

Reply from Andrea Jones, Matron at Priory Court

Mum is currently in Priory Court - which is her preferred place to receive palliative care. The staff are amazing and I know that whilst I can't be with her 24/7, she's well cared for while I'm working.
The reason Mum chose Priory Court was due to their care of my dad who passed in 2017.

I was very nervous about my husband's care being provided by a nursing home. I never imagined we would find somewhere like Priory Court. It is just wonderful! A happy caring home where loved ones are truly looked after just how you would want them to be. Every single staff member is just lovely! Thank
you to the matron and all her staff from the bottom of my heart for not only looking after my darling husband but the family too.

Priory Court has far exceeded my expectations. My father, myself, my family and all our visitors are totally blown away by the staff, the cleanliness and the care provided. You all immediately treated us like family. Everything is done to perfection and to the highest standard whilst providing a home-from-home

Our mother had a stroke and bleed on the brain in February 2023. She was left permanently paralysed on her right side and unable to speak. She received excellent care at the home. The family were confident she was in the best place. The staff were so kind and compassionate. Mum's dog was allowed to
visit and this was special. Our mother died May 28th and the family cannot thank the home enough for their deep respect and heartfelt kindness.

My mother spent six months at the Priory Court until she passed away on 23/1/23. I want to express my gratitude for the home, as my mother was treated wonderfully in all aspects of care. The staff were professional, caring and respectful to not only my mum but to me and any visitors that came to see
her. My mum had no complaints at all, whether about care, food or cleanliness.

I am very happy at Priory Court Nursing Home. I feel safe and very well looked after by matron and all the staff. The food is very good and are big portions. Every day we do a variety of activities which is fun. I highly recommend here. I was unable to walk when I came here and had a poor appetite but
with the love and support of the staff I am now able to eat a proper meal and can walk unaided. I also enjoy our outings in the minibus to places like the zoo, garden centres and down the lights. Staff have fancy dress up days to raise extra money for the residents fund which is such good fun.

My Aunt came to Priory following 3 weeks in Victoria Hospital as she needed 24/7 nursing care. We had spent time visiting various nursing homes, considering the CQC reviews etc. We had a lovely welcome and good information about the care and the facilities. Later, we had a tour of the home with the
matron. We were impressed with the standard and the helpfulness and friendliness of the matron and her staff.
My aunt was treated with care and dignity throughout. She was well looked after and supported by all staff; medical attention was sought quickly if needed. Her room was spacious and clean. She felt very comfortable and enjoyed conversing with staff. Sadly, she was very poorly and passed away peacefully after a few weeks. We were pleased she had spent her last few weeks there and we know she felt safe and happy there. Relatives and friends were treated well and close family were kept well informed.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Priory Court for good care.

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.
