My cousin enjoyed his stay at Vicarage Court Care Home. He wasn't the easiest man to please being in the hospitality trade all his life, but he didn't have any grievance with his time at Vicarage Court Care Home.

We had a fantastic experience of this care home. My dad stayed here over 6 months until he sadly passed away 12/01/17. I could not have asked for better care for him from day one. It is like a proper home from home.

My mother passed away on the 3rd of April. She died in the care home and the care we got from the staff while we were sitting with her was unbelievable. They looked after us and her all the time. Mum had been in the home 3 years and had really enjoyed it there. There were always plenty of activities, which she really enjoyed, and she made loads of friends with residents and staff. The staff excel in all their duties and it has been a pleasure meeting them.
Having had previous experience with homes, I can compare, and I cannot praise my experience of here enough. They are top class in everything that is required in all departments and I would like to thank them for the love they put into their work.

Staff are efficient and friendly, always happy to lend a hand when needed. I must personally mention the Creative & Activities team she manages and organises the activities for the residents within the home which she does with great enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and pride. Sometimes I think she must of have a double, with the amount she gets through!! She keeps the residents happy and engaged. Fantastic experience within this establishment.

It is really like a home from home as much as the staff possibly can make it for the residents. There are obvious signs of care and dignity.
The staff are angels without wings.
If you have any problems you could see the staff and it would be dealt with.
I would recommend the home to anyone.
Staff inform you about any problems and are very good and caring.
