Review from Piers D (Son of Resident) published on 4 March 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My visit was very well organised in a Covid safe manner.
As ever, the staff were kind, attentive and efficient.
My mother is comfortable and at home, dispute the disorienting symptoms of her disease (dementia).

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.

Review from Ann T (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 January 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
You continue to care for my mother with respect and kindness.
Twice this year she might have gone to the hospital, but you chose to keep her in your care, in agreement with the doctor/ medics, which is kind and thoughtful both for her and for me.
You always know how she is, welcome us into the home and respond to her changing moods and needs.

Review from Linda D (Private Carer of Resident) published on 17 January 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I have visited a few care homes during the course of my career in care and what stood out the most for me about The Old Rectory is the homely, relaxed atmosphere and the friendly, happy staff, who are also compassionate and helpful. It is always difficult for everyone involved when a family member, friend or client has to go into a home and as a carer, I know how important it is that there is clear communication between the family and the home regarding what is best for the resident. It is very comforting to know that The Old Rectory, from the manager and care team, through to the chefs and cleaning staff take this seriously. Their activity team are great and very busy, offering a wide range of fun things to keep the residents occupied.
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.

Review from Betty R (Wife of Resident) published on 26 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
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!

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Deborah B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
The Old Rectory provides fantastic care. Its best asset is the staff who are unfailingly caring and alert to all the resident's needs. The rooms are lovely, light and nicely furnished. Food is tasty and varied, great cake!
But best of all, it just feels like home. (I'm in love with the chickens!)

Review from J D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 19 March 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Review from J W (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Alison H (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother was welcomed to the care home having zealously defended her wish to stay on her own in her home. She has vascular dementia and other mild psychotic issues. She was unsettled and disruptive in the first few weeks but the manager and her staff were determined to help her relax and settle.
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.
