Brief description

The Priory Nursing Home is situated in a residential area approximately two miles from the M42 and the centre of Solihull. The site is shared with privately owned sheltered housing accommodation. The home is within close proximity to a small shopping centre and the local health centre.

There is limited parking available to the front of the property and a small well maintained garden to the rear with a patio and seating for use when weather permits. The home provides 24 hour nursing, residential and respite care for a maximum of 52 older people who may also have physical disabilities. Ten beds are designated for a continuing care contract with a local Primary Care Trust. The building has a basement, ground floor and first floor.

Accommodation is situated on the ground and first floor and all bedrooms have an en-suite facility. At the entrance to the home there is a reception area with a passenger lift, which gives access to all areas in the home. Access for people who use wheelchairs is good as there are no steps to the front door.

The dining rooms and lounges are situated on the ground floor. The home does not have a smoking area. The home has hoists and pressure relieving equipment to meet the assessed needs of the people living there. There are assisted toilets and bathrooms available and corridors are wide and spacious and enable residents to move around the home freely with any aids they require. Previous inspection reports of the home are available in the reception area should anyone wish to read them.

Current fee rates are available from the home.
