reg charity no: 1036450

By specialising in caring for the frail but still socially-active elderly, Priors Mead is like no other home. For a start, everything about it is as you would wish your own home to be, from the family-run values to the fact we are small.

We specialise because research shows that, whatever our age, we are both healthier and happier being amongst people who are like us, in a non-institutional atmosphere.

To find out what else we do to put our clients first, please call or just pop in, you will always be welcome.

Care as it should be since 1986
