The Priory Care Home

The Priory Care Home provides personal and nursing care for up to 52 older people and people with physical disabilities, with 42 residents at the time of inspection. The home has implemented strong infection control measures, including a visitor screening procedure that requires temperature checks and lateral flow tests before visits. Visitors receive PPE and information about the home's visiting expectations prior to arrival. A partitioned visiting pod with a clear glass screen allows residents and visitors to spend time together safely.

The home supports residents' wellbeing through monthly meetings with the clinical services manager, where people receive updates and can ask questions. Staff are supported through access to a confidential helpline for health and wellbeing advice, and a COVID-19 fund has been established to help staff facing financial hardship during the pandemic.
