About The Priory Highbank Centre
Here at The Priory Highbank Centre in Bury, we provide nursing home care for a range of people with differing needs and circumstances. Our team supports older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to give a regular carer some time to rest or to support someone through a period of change. We know that choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. When someone comes to live with us, we take time to get to know them properly, understanding what matters to them day to day and how they like to live their life. Care is not something we deliver in a one size fits all way. Each person has their own story, preferences and routines, and we try to reflect that in everything we do. Our nursing care is provided by qualified nurses working alongside care staff, and we work closely with GPs, community health teams and other professionals to make sure residents receive the right clinical support at the right time. We want to be straightforward with people. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement, and we have taken that seriously. We have been working through the areas identified and making genuine changes to how we operate. We think it is important that families can trust us to be honest rather than simply presenting a polished image. If you would like to find out more about whether The Priory Highbank Centre might be the right fit for yourself or someone you care about, we would welcome the chance to have a conversation or arrange a visit.
