My sister is blind and in a wheelchair. She has been in Vicarage Court Care Home now one year and five months. She has a lovely room and the staff who look after her are outstanding this includes the cleaners. The staff dress my sister very nice make her up and at times paints her nails. Eventhough my sister is blind this makes her feel good and she appreciates this. My husband and myself get on very well with them all and we personally have a love for them and appreciate what they do. The home is very clean, it always smells clean when we go and the gardens are beautiful only if my sister could see it. The home has plenty of entertainment and activities which the residents really enjoy and it is lovely see the staff and management participate in things having fun the with resedents they really care. We personally recommend Vicarage Court Care Home.
Mum was on the nursing wing since mid September. It is difficult when having to put any parent into care. The Staff are loving and caring and did their very best in a difficult situation, Mum was 94 years old and diagnosed with Motor Neurones Disease. She joined in activities as much as she...
Mum passed away on Monday 9th February.

Mum was in for end of life care for 2 weeks in which time we found all the staff to be professional and caring. The only negative I can find is the environment was very noisy, that said if I was in mums position I would happily use this care home.

The care was at a extremely high standard with the owner regularly on site & interacting with residents, as well as more staff on hand than residents meaning each person like my grandfather gets 24/7 care to a high level.

Vicarage Court welcomed my mum in September 2022. The home was bright sunny clean comfortable and safe. Every member of staff would smile and say hello when I visited and mum settled down quickly. The nursing staff understood my mums needs and always kept me informed. Mum was bed-bound but had a constant stream of staff calling into her room. Laundry, tea lady, personal care, cleaners and nurses all treated mum as though her room was her home. Mum felt safe, this left me comforted when I drove away that she was exceptionally well cared for. Thank you.
The manager of Vicarage Court runs a very tight ship but with great compassion. My husband was in Vicarage Court care due to lack of care in the another facility, my husband was unable to leave his room for the whole of his 2 1/2 year stay and the staff were lovely trying to involve him and myself...
The manager of Vicarage Court runs a very tight ship but with great compassion. My husband was in Vicarage Court care due to lack of care in the another facility, my husband was unable to leave his room for the whole of his 2 1/2 year stay and the staff were lovely trying to involve him and myself in things happening in the home- when he passed away in February staff were caring and supportive to myself and our family.
