Sadly since Christmas my aunts health started to spiral downhill. With full bed care needed the already wonderful team stepped up to deliver the next level of care needed in her last few weeks. The care and compassion shown in her last few days was to the highest of standards. I knew 3 years ago when I first viewed for respite care that Vicarage Residential Care Home was the right place. The entire team are an asset led by a manager who's guidance makes it the home it is and who has been there personally supporting me many times. I would also like to thank the home owner who's support will never be forgotten. Thank you just doesn't seem enough. Keep up the amazing work XX
Her final weeks were approached with the same compassion, dignity, and respect she showed others throughout her life, and it...

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear that your mum has enjoyed her stays with us and that you've found the home peaceful, welcoming, and easy to visit. Your kind words about our staff mean a great deal, and we truly appreciate your encouragement to others.
Everyone seems nice, and helpful and friendly. House is old and could do with being more modern and on one level, with en suite bathrooms. They seem to look after everyone well, although funding is obviously tight in social care now.

My mother has been at The Old Vicarage care home for over 2 months now. I can only say that she has had excellent care. Staff are always cheerful and happy. They treat the residents with respect and love. It was a very difficult time for our family, as we had never had the experience of putting a loved one into care, but the whole staff, including management, made us feel so much better to know that our mother is happy, content and safe. I cannot praise these lovely people more, they are all truly wonderful.
Thank you so much Penny for sharing such a heartfelt message. It's incredibly uplifting to hear how much The Old Vicarage team has meant to your mother and your family. Transitions like these can be challenging, but knowing that she is receiving care filled with respect, love, and joy makes all the difference.

The staff are always friendly and attentive and we have enjoyed attending the family events such as the VE Day celebrations.
Thank you Duncan, It's always rewarding to hear positive feedback, especially when it reinforces the warmth and care our team bring to residents and their families. VE Day celebrations was a truely meaningful occasion.

At the age of 97, Mum finally became too frail to live independently any more and moved into the Vicarage. She settled remarkably quickly and spoke highly of the care shown by the staff. The management team are very responsive, dealing well with the staff shortages that afflict every care home in the present climate and attending to Mum's every need. Indeed, the management team encouraged full and frank discussions to ensure Mum settled happily and quickly. As Mum did not have dementia, if anything was amiss, she (or I) would let the management team know and they would amend her care plan as necessary and fully update the staff. Visitors are greeted with a friendly smile, put at ease and made to feel welcome and a part of the community. Her room was bright with large windows looking onto a small patio and garden. Overall, the food was very good and she ate well. I am very happy with the care and attention Mum received during the last few months of her life at this home.
Thank you for your kind review Debbie, I can say on behalf of all working here at The Old Vicarage that it was a pleasure being part of your mum's life and being able to help here in any possible way.

My mother moved into The Old Vicarage in August 2022 having lived with me for the previous thirteen years. It was amazing how quickly she settled and seeing her sitting comfortably and happily surrounded by other residents and caring staff immediately put to rest any worries I had held about a move. The home is in the beautiful Kent countryside. Her comfortable bedroom overlooks a pretty bird-filled garden with roses outside her window. The care staff are always welcoming, flexible and accommodating about visits. They demonstrate genuine affection for Mummy, greeting her with warmth when we return her after trips out. In the communal areas there is always a buzz of activity and Mummy enjoys watching everything that is going on around her. The food smells delicious and Mummy continues to eat well. In summary, she is thriving in spite of her frailty at the grand age of nearly 97. She is happy and I, and my brothers and sisters, couldn't be happier with this lovely home.
Thank you for your lovely message. I am extremely proud of the team here at The Old Vicarage, they put our residents at the heart of everything that they do. I will pass your kind words to our team, it's always nice to feel appreciated.
My mum was taken into care after losing my dad and needs 24-hour care. The Old Vicarage have been brilliant. The staff and manager are lovely, really helpful and friendly. The room is great, looking onto the garden, bright and clean. Mum is eating well and settled in really well. They are very...
I can highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to find somewhere for their loved ones. We all feel very relieved.
Thank you very much for your review Jane. We're glad you're all happy with the quality of care your mum is receiving here at Vicarage Residential Care Home and that she's settled in well.

She has praise for the staff each time we visit. A great team.
We endeavour to maximise our resident's abilities with encouragement and praise to enable them to reach their full potential and support them to feel included in all that we do.
We are very happy with the care my dad is receiving at The Old Vicarage. The manager is really lovely, and all the staff really care about making my dad as happy and comfortable as possible. They have made a difficult time so much easier for our whole family.

Many thanks for your review, Hayley and I am pleased to read you and your family feel the team here makes a difference for your dad who has become a big part of The Old Vicarage family.

The care is very good. The home though needs updating, in particular, the garden needs to be more accessible for the residents. With a decent path, as it is too uneven. Clients should be able to walk around, without having to wait for carers. Flowers are needed and the garden furniture needs updating and to be more comfortable for the clients. Everything in the home from photos I've seen (as my wife is the only one been allowed in the home) is tired looking and not inviting. On a positive, as stated before, staff appear to be good and friendly.

Thank you very much for your review. All your comments have been taken on board. Our garden is currently in the planning stage to enable access to all. Flowers are planted and hanging baskets are completed by our residents, should they wish to participate in this activity. Our internal environment is constantly being updated and redecorated. If you would like to see your mum’s room redecorated in her choice of colour scheme, we would be more than happy to facilitate this. Perhaps the photographs sent to yourself and your wife do not do our communal areas justice, as they are all very bright, cheerful and airy. I appreciate it must have been very distressing during the pandemic, as only one essential caregiver was permitted into the home. We had to follow government guidance to maintain everyone’s safety and it worked. Earlier this year more visitors were permitted into the home to residents room's or the visiting room and now you're all able to enjoy time away from the home.
The manager is great! Really good at keeping me informed when my mum hurt her wrist. I was notified each step of the way. All the staff are always very helpful when I visit and mum loves them all.

Thank you very much for your kind review. We always try our utmost to keep family and next of kin included in all that we do as an extension of our people's care. I will pass your comments on to the whole team.

My father came to the Vicarage in November of 2021. He was made to feel very at home, and the staff were very welcoming. Their care is spot on. The manager is very approachable and caring to all the residents and staff. I would recommend this home to anyone who is thinking about putting a loved one into a home. My father has dementia, and it was very important to me that I could get him somewhere where I thought he would be happy and mainly cared for.
Thank you very much for your review; it's gratefully received, as are all our reviews.

Mum lived with us at ours for around 14 months until we became unable to meet her needs, particularly around the challenges of Dementia. We had to request help from social services which proved quite frustrating, leading my wife and me to find a local home ourselves for mum. Within a week of this placement, the wheels came off and matters became quite serious, to the point of again us asking for help. Eventually, a social worker located Vicarage Residential Care Home as a possible care home that could care for and meet Mums needs. The manager and the staff immediately made Mum welcome and despite a few early setbacks with Mums behaviour, she quickly became settled through the support and care the home provides. The staff are always helpful and cheerful, even during the stresses of the Covid restrictions. We were happy to recommend Vicarage Residential Care Home to our friends, who were looking for a caring location for their father and he duly moved in last week. Thank you.
If you have any suggestions for improvements they would be gratefully and graciously received.
