Review from June (Friend of Resident) published on 18 June 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
A small friendly care home with a homely feeling. Both management and the team of carers are wonderful and professional in providing individual care to meet each resident’s needs as well as dealing with visitors and relatives demands.
During the time that my friend was a resident she always told her visitors how kind the staff were to her and despite not wanting to go into a home initially, she settled in quickly.

Thanks go to all of you and keep up the wonderful service you offer.

Review from Janet D (Friend of Resident) published on 21 November 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Would highly recommend this home. Staff are excellent, very caring and treat the residents with the utmost respect. Rooms are clean and tidy and the quality of food is excellent reside ts being offered a choice for lunch rather than what is given. Has a lovely garden for sitting in during the summer months. Overall a very nice place to be in.

Review from Valerie W (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My experience of The Old Vicarage Care Home has always been a memorable one because of the care, consideration and respect given to my mother at all times. The staff are always accommodating and welcoming from the moment I visit to the frequent telephone contact I have with them. It is indeed a home filled with love and respect for its residents.

My parents have been living here for 18 months.
They are so well cared for, the staff are always friendly and helpful.
Every resident is treated with respect and dignity, the staff are caring and loving, nothing is ever too much trouble.
The home is always clean and smells fresh.
The food is all home-cooked with a lot of variety, it looks and smells delicious.
My parents each have their own room, they have all their treasures, are very comfortable and cosy.

Review from Peter B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 8 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law is very happy at this care home. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the home is very clean in all aspects. Her room is always clean and tidy. You are always greeted with a smile and offered tea or coffee when you visit. A first-class care home. Ten out of ten to all the staff.

Since being placed at the Old Vicarage my mother has gained weight, is happy and her general health improved. I now am able to enjoy my time with mum and can visit any time of any day.

Overall Experience
Staff are always ready to encourage residents like my mother in the activities and make friends. From sitting in her room at a previous care home her life and happiness have become much better. Personal care is very good too. She says she is very content.

My mother has been in this care home for 10 years so they must be doing something right. We find the staff helpful and caring with the residents and always make us welcome with a cup of tea when we visit.
