The Old Vicarage Care Home has been providing high quality residential care for over 35 years and is a small family run home focused on dementia care.

The home is planned around the philosophy of keeping residents independent for longer but providing support where they need it - tailored care focusing on individual needs rather than a “one size fits all” approach.

What makes them unique is their focus on activities...
