The Old Vicarage

I miss my home, but I couldn't have moved into a better place and this is now my second home. They keep me safe and to have no covid-19 in the home is a sign of the staff and management's dedication. (I only put good for activities as I like my own company) Thank you.

The Old Vicarage has provided great care and support to my dad over the months since he moved in, working with the additional challenges that Covid-19 restrictions have put on visits. The staff are always cheery and helpful, Dad is complimentary of the food served (happy to try meet specific requirements) and work hard to provide social activities for all the residents. The gardens are a lovely place to sit out. Nothing seems too much trouble

A very happy positive attitude from all staff looking after my Dad. Always doing the best they can for him. He couldn’t be in a better place, especially during the pandemic. Very accommodating towards my brother and myself throughout a very challenging time.

The Old Vicarage is a lovely residential home. The staff are all fully committed to the care of their residents. In these very challenging times they have gone above and beyond to look after my stepmother, keeping her safe and well.

The Old Vicarage has caring and conscientious staff. The management are always helpful and respond quickly to emails and phone calls. The home itself is very clean, warm and comfortable. Its position by St Andrews Church and near the river is very pleasant. My mother has been very happy living there.

My mother (94) has lived at The Old Vicarage for 3 years and from the beginning regarded it as her new home. She has always been very capable and independent until Alzheimer's made it impossible for her to continue living alone. The staff completely understand this and treat my Mum with the utmost kindness and respect. She loves them all! During this pandemic, they have gone out of their way to help us stay in close contact with Mum through VSee calls to her screen and by printing our emails. Mum has 6 children, 4 living in the UK and 2 of us living abroad so this is particularly important during these challenging times when she cannot have visitors. But nothing has been too much trouble and we know she could not be better taken care of. Thank you to everyone at The Old Vicarage for continuing to help my Mum live the best life she can.

Excellent care and attention, used for my mother for a respite stay whilst family on holiday, but have also used in the past for my father in law. Would have no hesitation in recommending The Old Vicarage, lovely staff, attentive and kind. An outstanding service.

My mother was a resident for 11 years, and who died at the beginning of November aged 106. The care and support given by the management and staff at The Old Vicarage is second to none. In her last days, the care and dignity afforded to her was outstanding.

I have been visiting as a friend from the local church for the last 6 years. The staff are kind and very caring of the residents. The owner's attitude towards the residents is excellent in every way. The residents enjoy a lovely selection of food and fruit. The residents are full of praise for The Old Vicarage. One lady of 99 says often she is so glad she is there. My main friend I visit will be 106 years old at the end of the month. The way the staff care for he is exemplary. I regularly recommend this home for others I know who are growing old.

My friend's stay at the Old Vicarage proved to be shorter than anticipated due to his failing health in the last two months of his life. However, I cannot thank the management and staff enough for their continuing concern and the welfare given to him. His treatment, particularly in the last month of his life, was over and above what one could hope for. The home was a friendly, comfortable place to live in.

Very pleased with the care and attention given to my mother over the past year. She died peacefully here while I was visiting on 16th November 2018 aged 97 years. Can't praise the manager, care staff, cleaners and cooks etc enough for their excellent service.

Very well done.

A very special place run by some very special people.

Excellent care and attention day or night time.

The answer to your letter I would like to mention I am very happy at The Old Vicarage, also the managers are very good and caring, always helpful and friendly atmosphere also the food is very appetising, I'm pleased to be one of the residents it's a friendly place to be living, I can't really can't be happier anywhere else.

We have a lovely garden to sit in but we are close to town so my family visit easily.

A lovely family atmosphere. Lovely, patient, caring staff. My elderly Mum is very happy. Moving from living independently alone in her own house to a care home can be very challenging. The staff have managed the transition very well.

I can't fault them at all. Very accommodating with everything.

Very apprehensive about my friend moving into a care home but The Old Vicarage is more than a care home, it's a home. The staff and proprietors care about the residents and are always willing to help and have their best interests at heart. My Friend is so happy and wishes she had made the move earlier, what she likes is that it's in a quiet area but in the centre of town, so going out is so easy. Other residents are not confused and wandering around and the menu is so variable. Everything is just perfect for her. Thank you The Old Vicarage.

All the staff take such good care of us old codgers.
