My friend was admitted to Vicarage Court in November 2021. This was a difficult and anxious time for everyone, but I found the management and staff, welcoming, friendly and supportive. During the past ten months, I have nothing but praise, as I see love, care and patience given to the residents and their families. They go beyond the excellent nursing and caring to provide fun activities and a homely atmosphere. Thank you all.

The family cannot thank enough all of the staff at Vicarage Court Care Home. The co-operation and guidance certainly made matters easier for us. My father was frail and needed the care and attention that was provided. He was happy with the staff who looked after him and made his stay very comfortable. We found the facilities were very clean, comfortable and kept very tidy.
The care home is excellent. Very caring staff, good facilities and friendly attitude. All nursery staff are helpful and the admin staff are great. The entertainment team are very good. Always plenty to do. Would recommend to all.

Mum is looked after very well, she came in for respite and decided to stay. If she's happy we are happy. The staff are very nice and professional. We struggled at home with various aspects of care, but here everything is taken care of. Their philosophy is that this is the residents home and it's carried out to the letter. The managers, carers and ancillary staff must be very proud.

Wonderful staff, wonderful facilities and a really caring environment. A huge thank you to the team for their support, love and care. My sister in law was very happy there and she spent the last two years of her life in a caring and warm environment. With us living in another country, it was a blessing to know she was safe and cared for.
My sister was in the care home for two years. She was incredibly well cared for and looked after. Everyone at the home had a great relationship with her and were very helpful and communicative with the family. We would definitely recommend the Vicarage Court Care Home.

All the staff, carers, nurses, cleaners, activities coordinator, the handyman and the administration have delivered outstanding care to my husband. He has said he has been well cared for 24 hrs at times. We cannot thank them enough for the care and consideration they have given to my husband, in the time he has been a resident.
Very well run. Staff friendly and helpful.

My husband is being looked after very well both physically and mentally. The staff are proactive and caring. I am very happy that as I cannot physically care for him, he gets the best possible care.

When my mum had to go in a home, I was worried sick about all the bad reviews and negative comments about them but Vicarage Court have been absolutely brilliant. From all the staff and the food, it's been first class. My mum only needed to be in a few weeks but if it comes to her needing full-time care then this is the place that I would want her to go.
Happy with everything. I would recommend this home to anyone. They cannot do enough for their patients.

The manager really put us at ease. My dad was staying for two weeks respite. He said the staff were lovely and told us he would go in again when we needed a rest.

The building and interior decor are well maintained to a high standard. Staff provide wonderful care. Nothing too much trouble. The care my uncle is receiving we could not ask for anymore.

I have been inside many care homes for different reasons. Vicarage Court is the best I have ever seen. If I need a care home, my family know Vicarage Court is the one I would prefer.

The standard of care shown in this care home has been extremely good, so far. My brother, who has learning difficulties, has settled well into the new environment, as staff are welcoming, caring and professional in all areas. His safety has been paramount and the management and staff have been very supportive. Drinks have been shown to be plentiful and his pureed meals have been well presented. He engages in the activities, which are varied, within his capabilities and he does not feel left out. A home well worth recommending.

He was always keen to join in with the many varied activities. With a hearty appetite loved the home-cooked nutritious food. Every member of staff was kindness itself and I cannot recommend Victoria Court enough.

My brother-in-law has been in residence at Vicarage Court for several weeks and has been welcomed by a warm and caring staff. His dignity and his safety have both been a priority. He has settled in well and made many friends amongst what seems an endless flow of staff and familiar faces. Management staff and the trained nurses have always been supportive and readily available to speak to. It is good to see my brother-in-law involved in the many varied activities, even planting bulbs.
