The home changed owner in May 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Run by WT NB OpCo 1 Limited, Priory Gardens is a nursing home in Pontefract, Wakefield with 72 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Wakefield, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Its CQC rating, from March 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its previous rating, in August 2018, was Inadequate, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 33% of homes in Wakefield. Here is how rating age varies by council.
The home changed owner in May 2026. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 25 homes run by WT NB OpCo 1 Limited. 19 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across Wakefield, 75% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
