The Old Vicarage has a long history of providing exceptional residential and dementia care. Many of the wonderful team have been part of life at The Old Vicarage for over 15 years - the compassion, dedication, and expertise shown by every member of the team in caring for the residents is deeply moving and truly humbling.
It is this amazing foundation that they are building on, by investing in a number of important areas. In addition to a full redecoration of the home, they are adding to all aspects of life at The Old Vicarage
They have a fantastic new chef and specialist nutritionist providing nourishing and delicious food and an incredible new activities leader who brings energy and joy to each day. Residents are thrilled about the brilliant new trikes for outings around the garden or to nearby spots such as The Beetle & Wedge restaurant on the river. They also now have a very smart new wheelchair accessible minibus for local excursions and trips further afield.
At The Old Vicarage they have increased the ratio of carers to residents so that everyone receives more time, attention, and truly personalised support. They have welcomed a personal exercise specialist to help residents stay active and maintain their wellbeing, expanded their activity resources to create more meaningful and enjoyable experiences, and introduced a dedicated dementia coordinator to provide compassionate, specialised, and individualised support for those living with dementia, ensuring they feel understood, valued, and safe.
The exciting renovation of The Old Vicarage will be finished very soon! Please come and have a look around and meet the wonderful team.

The Old Vicarage feels like home from home. Everyone is friendly, helpful and caring. All the staff go above and beyond to make my mum feel happy and at home - nothing is to much for them. The care is truly excellent and my mum has made so many new friends in such a short space of time. When I leave after a visit I know that my mum is not only safe but happy and pleased to be staying. In only a month she feels happy to call The Old Vic home. My mum has a lot of fun and there are so many activities to do that she is never bored. In only a month she's been to a concert, a boat trip, she's watched Wimbledon on a big screen in the court yard, she's been on a trike (a highlight), she's attended the summer fair and been to a drinks party. The Old Vicarage is such a lovely place to be that I look forward to visiting and so do my family. Thank you to everyone for making this a special place.

My sister and I are so glad to have moved our mother to The Old Vicarage from another care home. The care is very good, the carers are attentive, kind and work hard to build a rapport and understand the needs of each resident. All staff, including kitchen and housekeeping, do their best to make residents feel valued. The home is very welcoming to visitors and family and has a lovely atmosphere. Our mother is happy here, smiles more and is enjoying life again.
From the moment we arrived, the warm and friendly welcome reassured us that we had made the right decision in choosing this care home for our dad. The staff could not have been more helpful - nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make both residents and families feel...
The food was delicious, and the rooms were freshly decorated, bright, and sunny, giving the place more of a hotel feel than a traditional care home. The overall atmosphere was welcoming, comfortable, and well cared for.
The staff were truly amazing, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they have done. Thank you all for your kindness and dedication. We would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for high-quality care for a loved one.
Thank you so much for your kind words - it means the world to us all.

There was preliminary home visit, at which he could voice his requirements and fears. At the home, the staff without exception were cheerful, kind and friendly. The nursing care are was very good. My husband is a food historian - and approved of the food ! I was 'phoned when there was any concern about him.
From my point of view, this was a 5 star stay because my husband has said he is happy to return. There was one problem, namely with his shower, which was dealt with, and probably resulted from him being in a newly built area.
In our locality, when one mentions The Old Vicarage, it is clear that its reputation is extremely good.

My mum, who was in the last stages of multiple myeloma, was admitted to the Old Vicarage for a week's respite care. However her condition deteriorated rapidly and it soon became clear that she needed palliative care. Every member of staff was wonderfully kind and sensitive to mum's situation, and did everything they could to keep her comfortable. The accommodation and facilities are of a very high standard and the home is in a beautiful rural setting. I would happily recommend the Old Vicarage to anyone. To all the staff, especially Sophie, Michelle and Sammy Jo, thank you for all you did for mum.
Thank you David, for your very supportive and kind review. We were honoured to look after your lovely Mum and I am very pleased that you were so happy with everything. Charlie
Our mother spent her final days at the Old Vicarage after a prolonged period of cancer treatment. The staff were unfailingly welcoming, kind, thoughtful and helpful to our mother and to us, her adult children. Her room was comfortable and had a lovely view towards the surrounding countryside. The...
We had hoped Mum would spend more time at the Old Vicarage but sadly she declined as the cancer took its toll. In the brief time that she was there, we felt reassured that she was being well looked after and treated with kindness and dignity.
Thank you very much for your kind words Wendy - it means a great deal to the team and we loved looking after your wonderful Mum. Best, Charlie

My mother moved into The Old Vicarage in April 2026. From the very start I have been impressed with the real desire to get to know Mum, her wishes, routines, her family and what is important to her and to make us all feel welcomed and reassured.She has settled quickly, she loves the outlook from her lovely room, and takes part in several of the many activities on offer. I visit often, at all times of the day, and I continue to be struck by the genuine warmth and care of the staff, and their quiet professionalism as they go about their work, even in challenging circumstances. In essence, this is a great care provider, it is clean, well managed, the food is delicious, and the staff are a credit to the leaderhsip team. The Old Vicarage feels like a real home from home, and my sisters and I feel we could not have chosen better for our mum.
Thank you so much for your lovely words Emily, it is a pleasure and honour to look after your mother and we all love welcoming you and your sisters when you visit. Tim and the kitchen team will be delighted to see your comments about our delicious food as will Jane and the housekeeping team about their efforts to keep everything spic and span!

What a massive and marvellous change we found at The Old Vicarage. Lovely caring staff who every day go the extra mile to help.
Chefs who would ask Audrey what she would like to eat and cook it for her if it wasn't on the menu that day.
Wonderful carers who would hold my Mothers hand and chat to her.
Lots of activities going on every day with a gregarious Head of Entertainment. A Life style Manager who sourced different furniture for Mums room and special bedding.
And 2 amazing members of staff who nursed her at the end of her life.
I thoroughly recommend The Old Vicarage
Thank you Andrea for you lovely comments which mean so much to me and our team. We miss you all very much. Best, Charlie
We moved our relative to ToV after bad experiences elsewhere. The difference at ToV was outstanding by every measure - the welcoming staff, the 'personal' chef who came to meet us, the beautifully presented room, "My Little Parlour" as it was christened, the willingness to change the menu for fussy...
There is an on going programme of improvement to the building - the rooms the lounges and the grounds, all done with style and panache. Very highly recommended
Thank you very much for your kind words, it means so much to all of us here at The Old Vic and we love have your family as part of our community. Best, Charlie

After looking around at other homes it was quite obvious that this home is unique. The staff were truly amazing, and this went a very long way to comforting my whole family. We all felt that my mum was being cared for by kind, dedicated staff and in the last days we felt like the whole staff tried to put their arm round us as a family. They were and still are being fantastic with my Dad who still goes weekly just to visit the friends he made there.
The facilities are superb and more importantly the vibe in the home is very welcoming and upbeat. All the staff worked so hard to get to know us all so in the final days and by this stage my family and I felt like our friends were taking care of mum.
When my mum had passed we all felt a bit of sadness that after spending so much time in this wonderful place and with all the staff we'd got to know that we no longer needed to visit.

My father moved into The Old Vicarage in December 2025 and from day one the staff could not have been more welcoming, caring, friendly and attentive. From the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel so welcome. All the staff go above and beyond what is expected and nothing is too much trouble for both the residents and visitors. The care he is receiving is second to none and very professional and caring. I am so impressed by the amount of time and trouble everyone takes to get to know each of the residents individually. My father certainly feels very safe and comfortable and has settled in very well. There are many activities offered daily to suit all tastes and abilities and the food is delicious! There is the most wonderful atmosphere and couldn't recommend The Old Vicarage highly enough!
Your comments...
Noelle, thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that your father has settled in well since moving in December and that he feels safe, comfortable and at home. That sense of warmth from the moment you walk through the door is exactly what we aim to create.Your comments about the team are hugely appreciated. We all take great pride in getting to know every resident at The Old Vic and we are all committed to finding new ways to create moments of happiness, and joy (and fun) for every resident in addition to providing excellent clinical care.
It's also great to hear that you've enjoyed the activities and food, both of which are such an important part of life here.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting us with your father's care - we love having him here.
My grandfather has been a resident of The Old Vicarage for just under a year. He moved in following a stroke which left him needing fulltime care. The staff could not be kinder or more caring. The little things that they do make such a difference to his daily life there, from iced coffee's in his...
It has become a second home to our family and somewhere we all love to go to, if not just for the cakes!!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We're so pleased your grandfather has settled in well following his stroke, and that he feels cared for and comfortable with us. It's especially nice to hear that the "little things" make a difference - whether that's an iced coffee in his favourite chair,...
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We're so pleased your grandfather has settled in well following his stroke, and that he feels cared for and comfortable with us. It's especially nice to hear that the "little things" make a difference - whether that's an iced coffee in his favourite chair, having the sport on, or adapting meals so they work for him. That attention to detail is something the team really cares about.We're also delighted that The Old Vicarage has become a second home for your family. Creating a place that feels welcoming not just for residents, but for those closest to them, is so important to us.
And yes - the cakes are always a good reason to visit!
Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your grandfather's care.

I can highly recommend The Old Vicarage as over the 10 years they cared for and loved my mother they demonstrated commitment to & skill in meeting her changing needs-both physical & emotional. Care homes are hard places to get right but the team at OV do. They came to understand & anticipate what my mother needed to thrive delivering her care with passion, sensitivity and expertise. They held her in such high regard and connected with her as a person not just a resident. It is a gem of a care home with its setting and building style making it feel real & not an institution or a hotel compared to the new type of modern purpose-built homes. The OV team (from management to carers ) listen and respond always looking to better their own standards and get it right for their residents. Full of new ideas and ways to adapt what they did to help my mother, the team gave us confidence and a feeling of a gentle, safe haven so we could relax & enjoy our time with her.
Your words are a wonderful reflection of the dedication, compassion, and skill of the team, who had the privilege of caring for your mother for over 10 years. To have supported her in a way that made her...
Jacquie, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review, it means a great deal to us.Your words are a wonderful reflection of the dedication, compassion, and skill of the team, who had the privilege of caring for your mother for over 10 years. To have supported her in a way that made her feel understood, valued, and truly at home is something that the team are incredibly proud of.
Thank you also for the support and insight you've shared with me since I took on The Old Vicarage - it has been hugely valuable.
I am committed to building on the home's special, well-earned reputation while preserving the warmth and individuality that make it so unique.

My mother has been a resident at The Old Vicarage in Moulsford for just over two years and recently turned 100. The staff combined their efforts to host an amazing birthday lunch for her and her family and friends. Everyone received a warm welcome through the front door and proceeded to the lounge to be served with drinks and canapes before enjoying a delicious meal, together with the other residents, followed by a sing-song with a visiting vocalist. We all enjoyed birthday cake and hot beverages too and the celebration took place surrounded by our special birthday decorations. The care staff, kitchen staff and activity staff went the extra mile to ensure her celebration, which coincided with her actual birthday, was a day to remember for everyone and all the guests and residents were looked after supremely well. It is not often that all four generations of our family can get together, and we all have very fond memories of the day. What a splendid place to call home!
Thank you for your kind words - we love looking after your Mum and arranging a suitable special celebration of her amazing milestone birthday!
As a family, we feel incredibly lucky to have found The Old Vicarage. Having spent a great deal of time here over the last 5 months, we've had the privilege of seeing it in much greater depth than most visitors. We're here every day, often staying late into the evening due to the advanced stage of...
From the moment we first arrived on a late Friday night, the staff made us feel welcome and supported. Every member of the team has gone above and beyond, and this warm, personal service has remained consistent. The staff are not just friendly, but they are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, which gives us great peace of mind.
The atmosphere is calm & relaxed (even through the night) and the residents seem genuinely content and very well cared for.
As a family we are incredibly grateful and can't recommend The Old Vicarage highly enough.

My ex neighbour and friend moved to The Old Vicarage almost a year ago and staff have been very welcoming from her arrival. They have shown attention to her preferences and ways of doing things which has helped her to settle into her new home. Yesterday the manager and staff helped me to celebrate her 90th birthday on the lawn with some other friends. We enjoyed a stunning location on a beautiful day with a table set for us all and decorated for the occasion and the kitchen staff had made a marvellous cake for us all to enjoy. Thank you so much to everyone.
Thank you for this review, her 90th birthday was fun.
Nonetheless, my mother...
Nonetheless, my mother was very nervous and dreaded leaving the familiarity of her own home. Thankfully, I have noticed a huge positive change in my mother's mood, she is now at ease and is very well looked after by the staff. She has absolutely no desire to return to her home.
Mum has a great en-suite room, it is not a huge space but adequate for her needs. She has a lovely view out of the window onto a huge lawn surrounded by trees and shrubbery. The staff have all been attentive and professional and very approachable. There are daily activities, a group lunch and lots of areas inside and outside where I can sit and properly talk with my mother one-to-one. She is happy and this is a joy to see, thank you.
Thank you for completing this review. Your mother has blossomed in our care and is enjoying a good quality of life.
I find the staff particularly good. Professional and knowledgeable but also kind, patient and loving. The rooms are good but maybe could do with extra redecorating. In general, I am extremely satisfied with the Old Vicarage care of my husband.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, it is greatly appreciated.
The staff are always supportive whenever I call and need to discuss how my Father is. When there are medical needs they are supportive and make suggestions. Father seems happy and remarks on the food, and he enjoys the gardens. He takes part in various activities; though sadly is not at all able to...
I know from personal experience just how very tough caregiving is on all levels; physical, mental, emotional, problem-solving, creativity, and spiritual. I am very happy that Father is somewhere where he is safe and cared for.

My mother has been a resident at The Old Vicarage Care Home since August 2018. She is now 94. She has been very happy for the past six years with all her comforts and familiar things around her, a lovely green space and garden area to look out on from her chair, and a well-equipped and functional ensuite bathroom. The weekly menu is varied and nutritional. She feels safe and secure, and often says to me that 'I am so lucky to be here and I am looked after so well', her cognitive and mobility abilities are lessening now (her eyesight is very poor) and the staff continue to be there to bring her the extra support, love, care and continuity that she needs, and they help her with her daily personal care and needs, as well as administer her medications. The staff are always on hand whenever I need to speak to them, and they are helpful, reassuring, and caring. My worries are immediately put at ease and I continue to feel reassured that Mum is being looked after so well.
Thank you for taking your time to write this lovely review. Your mother has blossomed since she moved here and has a great quality of life.
