The Old Vicarage is a family-run residential care home in Bolton, offering personalised support for older people in a welcoming Victorian setting with attractive grounds. The home focuses on comfort, dignity, companionship and helping residents maintain independence where possible.
Residents benefit from tailored care planning, freshly prepared meals, varied activities and comfortable shared spaces that encourage a friendly daily routine.
The Old Vicarage also offers a small number of Close Care Intermediate Accommodation bungalows within the grounds. These are designed for older people who remain largely independent but would benefit from a safer, more supported way of living.
The bungalows provide private accommodation close to the care home community, with access to support such as meals, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, welfare contact, social activities and separately arranged day-care services.
This option gives residents practical support while preserving privacy and independence, with the reassurance of an established care home nearby should needs change.

We have been very happy and extremely satisfied with everything at The Old Vicarage. My mother moved into the home after a long stay in hospital. Upon being discharged from hospital care she couldn't walk and wasn't eating. After being in The Old Vicarage for 6 months she is now walking, eating better and looked well. She is enjoying the food and activities and loves her room. The staff are all friendly and approachable and mum gets on with them all. Prior to being admitted to hospital mum always maintained that she wouldn't go into a home, she now says that she is really enjoying living at The Old Vicarage and the family are very happy too.
Thank you for sharing such positive feedback about your mum's time at The Old Vicarage. It is especially rewarding to hear how well she has progressed and that she feels happy with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and continued confidence in our care.
Since mum moved into The Old Vicarage, we have all been really impressed with the care and dignity the staff and home deliver. It is a real 'home from home'.

Since mum moved into The Old Vicarage, we have all been really impressed with the care and dignity the staff and home deliver. It is a real 'home from home'. The respect given, and the way individual needs are met. There's a wife range of activities and the environment is very pleasant. As family we are kept well informed and always made to feel welcome.
We're delighted to hear that your mum feels at home and that you are happy with the care, dignity and communication provided. Your kind comments mean a great deal to our team, and I will be sure to share them.
This care home has been excellent, care and accommodation for over a year for my wife, who has dementia. I cannot think how they could have done any better.

My dad is very happy living in the close-care bungalow at The Old Vicarage. He is well cared for, but encouraged to be as independent as possible. The staff are lovely, very friendly and caring and from the moment he moved in they went out of their way to ensure that his individual needs and preferences were met. This ensured that he settled well and quickly became part of the family. It is such a friendly and welcoming home and we can't imagine anywhere better for him to be looked after.
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted your dad is happy and settled at The Old Vicarage, and we're grateful for your feedback.
My dad has lived at The Old Vicarage since October following Alzheimer's and a stroke. All staff helped him to settle immediately. This was the hardest decision I have ever had to make yet remains one of the best I have made. From the preparations to move dad in, to now, the communication and...
Dad is cared for, respected, and supported daily. His needs are met and I am informed of everything. There are regular activities that Dad is able to engage in, he thoroughly enjoyed his trip to the chip shop! He loves to look his best and there is a hairdresser who makes sure he has a regular trim. This is very important and is just one part of the ongoing care and commitment provided to him to ensure his well-being. I see that residents at The Old Vicarage are seen as valued members of the community, not just old people who need looking after. I highly recommend this setting. Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a glowing review! It is great to hear your feedback! I will pass on your kind words to all staff.

Mum has been well cared for over a number of years and the care staff are excellent and always contact us if they have any concerns. The rooms are very clean and well-appointed. Mum is always well-dressed and colour-coordinated. Could not find any faults at all.

Thank you for submitting a review, which is appreciated by all our staff. Your mother was with us for a long time and will be missed by all.
Professional yet friendly, extremely caring, and have looked after Dad with dignity and respect. Nothing is too much trouble and always at hand to answer any inquiries we have had. The room was lovely if a little small however as Dad was in for respite it was fine, with lovely décor and great food...

Thank you for recognizing that we endeavor to be as professional, and caring as we can and to treat our residents with the greatest of respect. It's much appreciated, thank you.
As a family we couldn't ask for anything better than the care our mum is being given in every way possible.

It is greatly appreciated when family members leave such a glowing review. I'd like to say a big "Thank You" on behalf of our team.
Regarding value for money, I have no reference point but whilst she can afford this, all is good.

My late mother spent the last few months of her life at "The Old Vic" and we couldn't have found a better place for her. It is like a small hotel, very clean and on lovely grounds.

My late mother spent the last few months of her life at "The Old Vic" and we couldn't have found a better place for her. It is like a small hotel, very clean and on lovely grounds. Mum had her own room and it was very well-appointed. She told me the food was very good (although she couldn't always remember what she'd had!) and she enjoyed the activities, especially the singing, and being in the lounge chatting with the other residents. I cannot praise the staff too highly; they were all lovely and so friendly and accommodating whenever we visited and during mum's last few days they couldn't have been more caring and loving.
I'm pleased to hear that you felt your mother received the care and love she deserved while she was living with us. We really do appreciate it when we get such a lovely review.
This is a fabulous care home and thank goodness a friend recommended it to us. Dad never wanted to go into a care home but he was struggling at home. He has settled in very well and looks really cared for and he says it's like a hotel with plenty of entertainment.

Thank you so much for submitting a review. I’m glad to hear that your dad has settled in.
My mum went to The Old Vicarage after a bad fall at home. She initially went for respite and to assess what she may need when she went back home. Mum had a fear of going into residential care but this was quickly alleviated. The staff were very caring and welcoming, Mum was made to feel safe and...
Mum sadly passed. I can't speak more highly about the care and dignity she received and also to us as a family. I am so thankful for the care given by all the staff at The Old Vicarage.
Janet, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I know it will be much appreciated by all staff and hopefully, your comments will be helpful to other families when looking for care for their loved ones.

My father has been living in one of the bungalows in the grounds for over a year. It has everything he needs and was freshly decorated and nicely furnished. This has enabled him to stay fairly independent, but with the benefit of having meals cooked for him and staff always available if further help is needed. The staff always seem to be kind and caring. I think Dad is as happy here as he could be anywhere.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review on our close care bungalow's which are situated within the grounds of the care home. I know that our staff try there hardest to make sure that all our residents feel happy and cared for.
The Old Vicarage has been a haven for my husband, who has been having daycare since September. He has Alzheimer's, and I am his full-time carer. We find the staff welcoming, understanding and friendly. Every time I pick him up, he has a smile on his face and clearly has been reacting positively...
Knowing that my husband is in a safe and caring environment, I am afforded some precious time to recharge my batteries and relax. We both look forward to his daycare, but I have one regret - not using the daycare facility at The Old Vicarage sooner.
Thank you for your review and I'm pleased to hear you find the staff welcoming, understanding and friendly. I do think it is important when being a full-time carer for a loved one, to have some quality time for themselves and to maintain their own well-being.
