First impressions are of a modern (recently renovated to a high standard) light, airy and warmly decorated building. This is the only residential care home for elderly residents I have been in, spotless, where there is no smell of urine or of elderly residents. Mum (and I) made to feel very welcome. Genuinely interested in mum's health and well being. Staff caring and supportive while bringing humour and warmth in their professional interactions with mum. Mum said she enjoyed her stay and would like to go back again. The Old Vicarage is maintained and run to a very high standard - outstanding. Thanks.

Hi there, With more than 15 years of experience in adult health and social care, 8 of those managing residential, dementia and nursing homes, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, safe, person-centred care. I am motivated most by my passion for dementia care and the chance to enhance the well-being of residents, and to create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and safe.

My Name is Pat Porter, and I have worked in the care sector in Nursing and Residential Care homes. for over 30 years. I started off working as a care assistant in 1987 and went on to qualify as an administrator. I worked in a Nursing Home for over 26 years, had a spell of retirement, but missed working in care so much that I went back to work. I started at The Old Vicarage this year as their Administrator, and I think it is a lovely, friendly home, and I will be here until I finally retire.
