Priory Park Care Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 23 February 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of assessment: 5 to 18 November 2025. Priory Park Care Home provides accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care or treatment of disease, disorder or injury. The home can accommodate up to 40 younger adults and older people, including those living with Mental Health, Dementia, a physical disability or sensory impairments. At the time of this assessment 37 people were living at the home.

An unannounced inspection took place to review the quality of care and compliance with legal regulations. We assessed all quality statements from the key questions of Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led.

We found staffing levels were good. Staff did not rush and took time to interact with people; interactions were not all task led and showed compassion and respect for those living within the home.

Care was person centred and maintenance was being carried out with minimal disruption to individuals. Activities were identified to improve wellbeing which included dedicated activities for those who spent time in their rooms. Specific activities were arranged for several individuals that went above and beyond day-to-day care.

Staff were positive when talking about the service. Staff felt valued, were able to contact managers with any concerns and spoke of management as, “Part of the team”. They confirmed they had a manageable workload.

There was a good level of training for staff and evidence of succession planning with internal promotions into senior and administration roles.

Staff were given regular supervision and appraisal.

Concerns highlighted during the assessment such as additional information being needed in care plans and a missing risk assessment were actioned immediately and resolved following feedback.
