Priory Martins

We support our residents to attend family events and visit their family homes. We will work with the resident and their relatives to ensure possible risks are managed and that everyone is supported.

Family and friends are welcome to visit. Visits are usually planned in advance to support individual needs. Unfortunately, family members cannot stay overnight.

Yes, we feel it is so important to the wellbeing of the people we care for to keep the loved ones of our residents involved in their care, where this is in line with their wishes or best interests.

We can arrange regular phone and video calls whenever the resident pleases, so they can keep in contact with the people who are important to them.

All our bedrooms are fully furnished. Much of the furniture is fitted and cannot be removed. We encourage residents to decorate the rooms as they wish, and can support with this.

Residents are able to open the doors themselves. Our doors are only locked at night to ensure the safety of those who live here.

Residents can choose and prepare their own meals. We will support residents them with preparing their food. Special dietary requirements are catered for, too, and we strive to make sure our residents have a tasty, healthy and varied diet.

Our team will ensure that residents always have access to clean clothes and bedding. There is a utility room with laundry facilities, which residents can use. Staff are always available to help if needed.

Most of our residents able to carry out chores around the home such as cleaning. We have a rota to share out the different tasks. These are assigned during the monthly resident meetings.

Residents are not allowed to bring illegal substances onto the premises. Other items will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

An activities planner is created for every resident, and it includes a mixture of both in-house activities and visits into the community. We are committed to ensuring that residents have an input into their own tailored plan and sometimes a key worker may use a variety of communication tools to seek their views.

Our home has a PBS practitioner, who delivers PBS plans, and ensures we are providing the right support for our residents. We use the PROACT-SCIPr-UK® framework, which means we focus on active strategies, rather than physical intervention, and we require our care plans which include restrictions to be assessed frequently, to promote the least restrictive practice.

Yes, we encourage families and extended support providers to be involved with the care plans. We value this important input from others, where appropriate.

There is parking for one car off-road, as well as street parking nearby.

We are currently a non-smoking home, but if a resident were to choose to smoke, they would need to do so outside of the property.

Our fees can vary, and are based on an assessment of each individual's needs. Many people are eligible for financial help towards the cost of support, and this funding can be accessed by contacting your local authority. Once funding has been agreed, we will work with your local care team to put together a bespoke package of care. Please note, referrals for NHS or Local Authority funded services must come from a referring organisation.
