  • The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care Home, Wallingford
Finding a care home for someone you love can be emotional and daunting. Things change quickly and it can be difficult to know what the right solution is. Hanning Homes has recently bought The Old Vicarage in Moulsford and they aim to make this process much easier.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been and continue to be impressed by the care given to my mother who is suffering from dementia. She has been at the Old Vicarage for 2 years and throughout, as her dementia has progressed, the care has been wonderful. The carers are able to tell me about my mother's day, what she has done and
how she has been. They know her well and they are always welcoming when I or my family visit. I feel confident that my mother is well cared for. There are daily activities such as crafts, exercise and other activities such as fireworks, animal visits, and lunches to which families are invited. The garden is wonderful and my mother has spent many a day sitting out or walking around it. It is a wonderful space for the residents to enjoy and one which many care homes are lacking.

My mother has been a resident at The Old Vicarage for more than 2 years and feels very safe and well cared for. The staff are kind and helpful and nothing seems too much trouble. There are plenty of interesting activities to take part in and visiting is very relaxed. Communication with relatives is
very good.

My mother was at the Old Vicarage for 9 years and throughout her whole time there the staff have been brilliant. I couldn't fault their attitude and attention to detail. My mother was very content for the entire time which contrasted greatly with the care home where my mother-in-law lived. There was
constant stimulation with various activities and a great dela of patience shown with teh elderly residents. I have recommended the Old Vicarage to everybody who has asked about it.

There is not one particular incident I can single out, but my father is well cared for with warmth and humour on an everyday basis. The home has a warm, friendly atmosphere and a feeling of extended family amongst staff and residents. I feel they understand my father and his needs and know I can relax
knowing he is in safe hands when I’m not around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is hard to put into words the excellence of the standards of care my mother received during her three-year tenure at The Old Vicarage. The home is superbly managed and has extremely good levels of staff retention (which in itself speaks volumes). This home employs carers at all levels who really
care. Of course, there is a need to supplement staffing levels with agency staff but that's the nature of running a business and the staff/resident management tools in place ensure a 24/7 transparent and joined-up care view.
The entertainment schedule is enthusiastically run, fun, engaging, creative, broad-ranging and inclusive. The kitchen turns out good, nutritious food and is flexible enough to cater for dietary preferences as well as whims!
My mother originally went in for respite care, decided to stay and ultimately passed away there. We feel extremely fortunate and a debt of gratitude. A view shared by mum.

Review from E B (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into The Old Vicarage in the spring of this year. My sister and I had previously visited and were impressed and had brought Mum back to view it herself. Despite having early dementia, Mum was the focus of the visit and conversations and opinions centred around her. The staff were very friendly
and made time to chat to us. When Mum eventually moved in, she was made to feel very welcome and an effort was made to help her settle in. The ability to visit Mum is very flexible which is wonderful - staffing is consistent and they have clearly got to know Mum well. She is happy and looks well cared for. I feel confident that I could visit at any time and see the same consistently high level of care. Mum has particularly enjoyed the social activities organised and an effort is made to provide relatives with a varied weekly programme. This has really helped Mum's social skills as she was starting to get a bit isolated before the move. She loves attending the Chapel service and joining in.
Reply from Carol Bourne, Manager at The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care HomeThank you for this wonderful review. I'm so glad your relative is happy here at The Old Vicarage.

The Old Vicarage is a lovely care home, it has a nice feel when you walk around and the staff are all very helpful and caring. Like anything, there are always things that can be improved when getting into the detail, but I feel my mother is in safe hands and that she is as happy with her situation as
she can be, given her own physical limitations. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Old Vicarage and would encourage anyone considering it to go and have a look for themselves. There is nothing hidden, you get what you see. There are no staff employed with the sole purpose of selling you a place, everyone working there has a role to play in the running of the home, and they are all prepared to try and help with any request you make of them. I feel very happy that we were able to get my Mum a room here.
Reply from Carol Bourne, Manager at The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care HomeThank you for such a lovely review. I'm glad your mother is happy here. It was a huge transition, moving from the family home.

Review from H F (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

I have known The Old Vicarage nursing home (with parents as residents), over the last ten years. Over that period of time, the home has steadily improved to a point where I am very pleased to be able to write this review and recommend this home unreservedly. The quality of care is extremely good (both
the nursing side and in the dementia unit) and is the most important factor when selecting a home. As my parents have aged and their needs increased (sometimes very quickly) into full nursing and advanced Alzheimer's, the Vicarage adapted the provision of individual high-quality care, by a dedicated team of carers led by experienced and committed nurses. In addition, daytime activity staff supports all residents in an inclusive family atmosphere. Catering, cleaning and maintenance staff contributes positively to the overall excellent running of the home and take pride in their work. The manager and deputy expect high standards; ensure good communication throughout, good continuity of care and a home that runs smoothly and happily. Recent End of Life care for one of my parents was handled sensitively and considerable support was given to our family from all staff. I have and will continue to confidently recommend this home to friends and family.

Our father received excellent care at The Old Vicarage. The nursing care was excellent and it enabled him to end his days there rather than have to go into hospital.
The nursing staff, management and many of the other staff members were kind and caring and treated our father with respect. They also
provided great emotional support to us (his daughters) especially in the last few days of his life.

Everyone was welcoming, friendly and caring. Dad was encouraged to take part in all the activities and a member of staff would always come to his room and remind him and take him along. Dad enjoyed the Church service every week in the Chapel. One of the staff offered to take dad to the cricket ground
next door to watch a match. At the weekend college students came and engaged in conversation with any resident who was alone. The student I met was very polite and interested. Occasionally the agency night staff were a little rushed but other than this the care and attention was excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.778) out of 10 for The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.828 for The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.828
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
