About Priory Nursing
Our company was established in 1989 by three RGNs with extensive experience within both the homecare and healthcare sectors, in hospital and domiciliary environments. Our lead partner still has an active input in our day-to-day activities.
As part of our ethos, we have always protected our independence and, as a smaller privately-owned entity, we focus on providing quality, constructive care and support to local authority-commissioned care packages as well as to private clients.
We also value our clients’ independence, and we provide a wide and varied range of care and support services designed to help them maintain a good quality of life in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, where possible. The care services we provide are flexible and always tailored to the support needs of each person.
Dedicated homecare can often delay or prevent admission into longer-term residential care, encouraging individuality
We maintain a team of diverse, well trained, compassionate and experienced care workers, who are thoroughly supported by proficient office-based managers, care coordinators and administrative staff.
To discuss your needs or if you have any questions about care provision for a relative or a loved one, please get in touch and an experienced member of staff will arrange a dialogue with you on your request.
Our Staff
We are aware that the skills and dedication of our support workers are essential to the quality of the service we provide. Priory Homecare highly values their Staff and is committed to their ongoing training, job satisfaction and development. We provide our own in-house training, giving us control over the quality and relevance of content and topics covered. Our company also makes use of external training partners to cover more advanced areas of learning.
All our staff of nurses and domiciliary carers are carefully interviewed, selected and trained to provide home care services to persons such as the ill, disabled, those with impaired learning abilities, or other individuals for whom home care is essential. Our care workers are also carefully screened and undergo a Disclosure and Baring Service (DBS) check and have their references and training records checked, before being offered work.
Many of our carers work consistently with our clients over long periods of time, nurturing a trusting, bonding relationship with them
Whilst we do our own in-house induction training and periodic refresher training for support workers, we also have a partnership in place with an accredited trainer to provide Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF), aimed at providing carers with a greater understanding of their role as support workers. We also arrange for specialist training provided by local authorities and health bodies when circumstances or equipment are such that further training and support is required.
Often the clients express a clear preference for having particular carers assigned to them and of course, schedules permitting, we are very happy to oblige when this is requested. Many of our carers work consistently with our clients over long periods of time, nurturing a trusting, bonding relationship with them.
