The Old Rectory

This is in no small part the result of the care given by the staff, and in my mother’s case, an enjoyment of the beautiful garden.

We could not ask for more. Thank you so much.

It is very heartwarming to see a resident, who was used to one to one private care at home, becoming settled in a care home environment. A big thank you to all.

Excellent manager.

My daughter and I visited a number of suitable care homes when my husband was ready to be transferred from hospital. The Old Rectory stood out as caring, friendly and relaxed. We were so impressed by the 'can do' attitude of management and the attributes of the nursing and support staff - patient, always smiling and full of compassion and so respectful and inclusive. We also noted their exceptional diverse range of activities which were adding to the community spirit. Good home cooking was the icing on the cake!

She is kept busy with activities but on occasion, likes her privacy and to be left alone and that is always possible.

The home feels warm and welcoming. Comfortably furnished home from home. Always clean and the gardens well tended a pleasure to enjoy. It is comforting to know my father is well looked after, the staff always friendly, showing respect to all. Friends and family are encouraged to visit and can join in with any activities. A place I can recommend.

My mother has been at the home for nearly 3 years and she is 97 years old. She has over the time been well cared for but her medical state has deteriorated and now she has become almost bedridden. The staff give her every help and carry out the full range of caring tasks.

I visited my Grandad a few days ago and was very impressed at the standards in The Old Rectory and, most importantly, my Grandad is very happy there. I am a care worker who used to do agency work so I can be very critical of some care homes but this home seems to be one of the best homes that I have visited.

The Old Rectory Care Home has excellent staff, very caring, helpful and brilliant with both patients and visitors.

Food and the way that it is served is excellent, the whole house is beautifully clean and tidy.

Management very professional and helpful, a pleasure to talk to. Entertainment everybody is happy with the music that they can all sing a long, visiting entertainers very good. Can't fault the home in anyway. Top marks.

But best of all, it just feels like home. (I'm in love with the chickens!)

In the 16 months since my mother-in-law arrived at the home, we have been so pleased with the care she has received. It has the atmosphere of proper home, not a hotel or hospital. The staff are warm and friendly both to her and to the family. The home is small enough for all staff to know every resident well and to be aware of any changes which may be concerning. Every resident is given the opportunity and encouragement to take part in any of the varied and imaginative activities organised by the lovely entertainment team. We have been to several events organised for families to come and take part in but we also have access at any time to visit Mum. The food is of a very high standard, the birthday cakes delicious! We arranged for a small family gathering at the home to celebrate again our son's wedding which Mum was not able to attend. The staff were so kind, set aside the dining room and laid on food. Some of the residents came and joined us. We couldn't have asked for more.

The Old Rectory has a lovely, homely atmosphere and my father settled in more quickly than we expected. It is wonderful to see him beaming at his carers obviously enjoying their company. One of the most impressive features of The Old Rectory is that whenever we visit, usually unannounced, whoever opens the door to us almost, without exception, knows not only where my father is but what he is doing.

Perfect for my mum, no complaints whatsoever.

Really satisfied with the excellent care given to my mother over the last few years.

My 96-year-old mother-in-law is being cared for the highest standard and my family and I are very pleased with the situation. The staff are extremely caring and thoughtful, her surroundings are very homely and above all, she is happy living in the care home, The Old Rectory.

The Old Rectory is happy and friendly, staff are always good humoured and helpful.

With the support, care and incredible professionalism combined with appropriate humour and compassion my mother is now as happy and relaxed as she has ever been in her entire life. I cannot convey how exceptionally brilliant The Old Rectory is. The whole family are delighted and relieved.

My mother has been in The Old Rectory for 3 years and has received excellent care. The staff are very attentive and it is very friendly and homely. They also have a lovely garden that the residents can enjoy.
