Review from Ruth A (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My dad has lived at the Old Rectory for 5 years. He is settled there and has a good relationship with the staff, who are always kind and caring. The staff have changed over the years but do tend to stay for a long time. They are very well trained to care for the residents but importantly they have all been caring and kind people. Dad is always clean and tidy and if he is poorly, the staff make sure he has any medical care he needs and inform me straight away. The home is welcoming when my family and I visit which we can do anytime. All in all we chose well when we chose the Old Rectory for my dad's care.

It has always felt like my mum's home rather than a care home.

Overall Experience
I'm so grateful for the exceptional care my uncle receives at The Old Rectory. The facility is always spotless, creating a welcoming, comfortable space for residents and visitors alike. The staff is genuinely compassionate and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure each resident feels valued. Knowing my uncle is in such caring hands gives me great peace of mind. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a safe and clean home for their loved ones.

Review from Susan S (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 October 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been a resident in The Old Rectory Residential Home for past twelve months and I have nothing but praise for the staff and the care Mum has received.
Staff are always welcoming and show care above and beyond their role.
During the COVID pandemic, the home has made it possible for us to keep in contact with mum via video calls or face to face through the window.
Staff keep me up to date with any medical concerns they have with regards to Mum's health (vascular dementia).
