When arriving at the home I was greeted from the member of staff who came to the door with a smile and warmth and was asked if they could be of any help after she had introduced herself to me. All the staff were friendly, the residents I saw appeared happy and well looked after. The home was decorated
ready for Christmas and my friend was excited and looking forward to celebrating Christmas with her family at the home. She was also enjoying the Christmas activities which were very varied.
Reply from Cara Jones, Home Manager at The Old VicarageThank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely feedback.

I cannot recommend this care home highly enough. They look after my mum, who is in her 50s and has very complex needs, with exceptional care and compassion. The staff manage her behaviours incredibly well and always ensure she receives the care and support she needs.
I was my mum's sole carer for a
long time, so handing over her care to a full-time service was absolutely heartbreaking. However, the team have made this transition so much easier than I ever thought possible. They have taken away so much stress and worry, and I have complete confidence that my mum is safe, supported, and truly cared for.
Reply from Cara Jones, Home Manager at The Old VicarageThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It truly means a great deal to the whole team.
We know how incredibly difficult it is to entrust the care of a loved one to others, especially after being their sole carer for so long. Were really honoured that you chose us to support your mum, and were so glad weve been able to make this transition a little easier for you.
Your kind words about our teams care, compassion, and understanding of your mums complex needs are deeply appreciated. Providing a safe, supportive, and genuinely caring environment for both residents and their families is at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you again for your trust and confidenceit means more to us than we can say.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Always warm friendly & welcoming upon arrival. Even though they are busy they still make time to see if everything is ok when you enter the building.
Staff are helpful and very caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Manager is very approachable and never fails to acknowledge.
Food always smells
good when walking passed the kitchen & on the whole the food looks good.
Most times when visiting there appears to be singers and some form of entertainment to keep the residents occupied.
Would definitely recommend

My wife has been in residence in The Old Vicarage nursing home for about 18 months. She quickly settled in. She suffers with dementia and has no conversation. She does 'talk' a lot but it is not possible to understand what she is trying to say - but she does react very well to all the staff. I cannot
praise them enough for all the care they show her. She has always been interested in singing and joined choirs wherever we have lived. She really enjoys the many singing activities which the home provides.
Reply from Cara Jones, Home Manager at The Old VicarageThank you so much for taking the time to share your experience of The Old Vicarage. We are truly pleased to hear that your wife settled in quickly and that she feels comfortable and supported here.
Caring for residents living with dementia is at the heart of what we do, and it means a great deal to know that your wife responds so positively to our team. Your kind words about the staff will be shared with them, they will be very encouraged to know their care and compassion are so appreciated.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for trusting us with your wife's care.

The staff are very caring and my mother appears to be happy with her carers, who are working to meet all of her needs. The cook is very friendly and came to apologise to my mother when the food that she'd requested was unavailable. The medical staff have been very good at keeping us informed and along
with the other staff caring for us as well.
The building is old and repairs are being carried out on it. The lift is old and not always working.

I find the staff welcoming and informative each time I visit; they are friendly, and it makes one feel special. I can see that the needs of the residents are well looked after, and they take the time to have a conversation with them. A person's needs are catered for very well. The office staff keep
me informed as and when necessary. It is a friendly place with outside space for residents that is safe and secure and I would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

The managers and staff at the Old Vicarage are fantastic and could not have done more to make the respite care stay welcoming and comfortable for my parents, even freshly redecorating a double room at short notice for them. It's been so reassuring to know that, during their stay, they have been treated
with high standards of care and friendliness. They have particularly enjoyed the lovely meals. Thank you - I'm very grateful.

My dad was skin and bones when he arrived at The Old Vicarage. They nursed him back to health with good food, love & attention. Not a day goes by without him laughing and smiling with the staff. The whole building is clean & kept tidy. Staff have a lovely rapport with residents & their families. There
is entertainment on weekdays, and residents are moved around regularly to mix & socialise with one another. The staff & management are a fabulous team, they genuinely care about their residents.
