The Priory is a warm, comfortable and welcoming home for my partner, who is living with vascular dementia. Staff are generally very warm, kind and helpful and friendly. The general atmosphere is cheerful and upbeat. Housekeeping, maintenance and kitchen staff all do a great job in keeping the house
and grounds looking good. My only concern is that perhaps there could be a bit more stimulus for residents. Activities are an hour am and pm, and are done by 2.30, leaving a very long pm/evening. A room has been newly furnished for activities so hopefully this will encourage widening the scope. If one's loved one has to be in a care establishment, then I would recommend The Priory.

My husband has been a resident of The Priory for a few weeks now but recently was taken very ill and had to go to hospital. The care and support he received on his return have been outstanding and reassuring for me and his family. Despite his severe illness, his relief at being back in the warm and
familiar surroundings was palpable and the response to the staff was heart-warming. I cannot praise them or thank them enough.
In addition, the outlook and surroundings of The Priory set as it is in the magnificent Wye Valley is also uplifting. Thank you all at The Priory for making this very difficult time a little easier.

We cannot say anything negative about The Priory care home. The staff are so helpful, caring and friendly and go the extra mile to help the residents settle in and as the wife of someone needing care that is so reassuring.
The home has a cosy, lovely warm and comforting clean smell. The food is jolly
good too, there are activities and a twice-monthly Holy Communion service provided by volunteers from the local churches. The chance to sing hymns and hear a super organist and choir mistress must not be missed.
I heartily recommend a visit to see for yourself.

Reply from Aimee Bevan, Administrator at The Priory Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you for your lovely comments. We enjoy having Chris here and he is a much loved member of our family here at The Priory.

Mum has now been a resident at The Priory for just over 6 months. I couldn't have asked for a better settling-in process for my Mum. I anticipated a period of adjustment but within 24 hours Mum was settled After months of worrying about how she would cope with the move, she settled in beautifully.

Every member of staff I have ever spoken to has been professional and caring. Many have gone above and beyond to accommodate Mum's needs. I feel at all levels they know my Mum and understand her.


When Mum was unwell, I was told I could visit anytime, day or night, to reassure myself. This was a great comfort. Whenever I visited - day or night - Mum's needs were being met. She was calm and cared for. Regular doctor visits were organised to ensure everything was being done. Knowing Mum is cared for in such a caring and safe environment has taken a huge amount of pressure off my shoulders and has made a big difference to our relationship. I am now a daughter and not a carer.

Thank you very much for your kind words, we really appreciate it. Your mother is a very much loved resident of the home and part of our family. I will ensure your comments are passed on to the whole team. Thank you from us all.

The staff are very kind and helpful, and nothing is ever too much trouble. My mother isn't the easiest of characters, but the staff do very well to accommodate her requests. It's a well-run home, and the facilities are great. Also, it's set in a beautiful location!

Mum has settled in quite well, and I think is generally happy; however, she has spoken to me regarding one or two things that have upset her.
Sometimes, she feels that on occasions she spends prolonged periods of time waiting to be taken to the toilet. She feels like she has to wait for a carer, we
understand they are busy; however, this is causing quite an upset, especially if she soils herself.
Unfortunately, she does seem to require the toilet more than usual; I understand this is because of certain tablets she takes.
She likes to spend as much time as possible in the communal room, but if left alone is unable to reach the assistant button.
These two minor points are quite important to her. But she does enjoy the entertainment that has now started.

Reply from Aimee Bevan, Administrator at The Priory Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you for your honest feedback. We have discussed the issues you have raised and taken on board the concern. We have taken steps to ensure that this does not continue and that your mother can access the toilet as soon as needed. Thank you for your honest feedback, The Priory team.

The staff are friendly, approachable, and very hard working. They are ready to listen to any concerns and do their best to address them. There has been a greater focus on activities recently, together with visits from various musicians, which have helped to enrich the quality of daily life in the home.
The beautiful grounds are wonderful for outdoor visits where appropriate.

Unfortunately, my father's stay at The Priory was not as long as we would have wished. He passed away too soon to enjoy the wonderful location which I know he would have appreciated so much when spring and summer arrived. All the staff are amazing. The care and dignity he received was faultless. The
support given to us as a family at a very difficult time really helped. Thank you to all the staff. You all do a wonderful job and you will not be forgotten.

Our Father was a resident at The Priory for a couple of years until he sadly passed away in November 2020. He wasn’t the easiest of residents but the staff always did their best to accommodate him and his antics. We are very grateful for the level of care provided throughout his stay and especially
in his last few days during a really difficult time. We always felt really welcome at the home. The staff are super friendly and very professional. We all looked forward to coming to have coffee with Dad, especially while enjoying that view. Thanks again to all the staff.

My mother has been at the Priory since November 2020. She is still very independent for her age and really did not want to move into a home, but sadly, my family circumstances meant that she could no longer live with me. It has taken her a while to adjust but she does now enjoy being there. She does
not mix with most of the residents nor join in the activities, but that is her choice. She does have one special friend that she spends most of her time with. She is very happy with most of the staff and generally, she is well looked after and treated with respect. She is not an easy lady, so they have done well to build a good relationship with her. Due to Covid restrictions, I have not been able to view the home so cannot comment personally.

My aunty had been in this home for over 4 years and if you were to ask her she would say it’s wonderful, my opinion is every time I go to visit the staff cannot do enough for us. The home is spotless, the food is excellent, they all go above and beyond to make sure my aunty is happy. I had to give her
some bad news today and they came to make sure she was ok and will go and keep an eye on her. If she needs a hug I’m sure they would give her one, they have activity days which all the residents love. I can not find one bad thing to say about The Priory Nursing & Residential.

My lovely mother really enjoyed her last three years at The Priory. Like most folk of her generations, she was fiercely independent and did not want to go in care - the first few months were difficult for all concerned - but as an intelligent woman, she realised that the love and care given to her at
The Priory was in her very best interest. She passed away at 102-years in dignity, comfort and contentment. Thank you to The Priory team.

My dad has been here for almost 3-years. The Priory has the most amazing views and outlook, but it’s inside that is the most important. Dad has been very happy here, and the staff are amazing and kind and work so hard. It’s been such a difficult year with the Covid restrictions, but they had no Covid
related deaths and kept everyone very safe. Before the pandemic, it was good to be able to visit any time you wanted.
With his dementia, Dad can be quite a character, and they know what he’s like and make allowances for him. He enjoys the food and will often say that the meals are very good. When he’s been poorly, I have been informed and kept up-to-date on his progress. Recently, the nurses have been particularly fantastic, and I would like to thank everyone for their kindness.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.975) out of 10 for The Priory Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.473 for The Priory Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.473

  • 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 4.502 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Priory Nursing & Residential Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.702

  • 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.
