I cannot stress how highly I value this home and am in complete agreement with other families who recommended it to me.

My mum has been in The Old Vicarage for four months now. She moved here after the previous care home closed down. This would have been a stressful time for her but the staff were exceptionally good in getting her settled much quicker than I anticipated. The staff and management are very professional, warm, caring and the establishment is spotless. The food served is of a high quality and the residents are taken out on trips regularly. I would not hesitate in recommending The Old Vicarage to anyone.

My aunt was a resident of The Old Vicarage for two and a half years. During that time we were so pleased to see that, although her mental health was declining, she was treated with compassion and respect. We also felt part of The Old Vicarage 'family', being invited to functions and entertainment. The support we received on her move into nursing care was amazing. Thank you all.
My father lived here for nearly 2 years prior to his recent passing. The moment he first entered he (and his family) were made to feel very welcome. The care and devotion to the residents is exceptional. The place is at all times spotlessly clean. The food is all homemade and always looks very...
My father lived here for nearly 2 years prior to his recent passing. The moment he first entered he (and his family) were made to feel very welcome. The care and devotion to the residents is exceptional. The place is at all times spotlessly clean. The food is all homemade and always looks very tempting. The gardens are well maintained and the parking is good. We have been absolutely delighted by the care all (night and day) staff gave my father and cannot praise this home loudly enough.
I have been impressed with the level of care which my aunt has received, not only with the basics but also with regard to her well being and happiness. The Old Vicarage staff seem to know everyone well and develop a good relationship with residents and are always welcoming to friends and family.

Myself and my family have been consistently impressed with every aspect of care at The Old Vicarage. I have had experience of many care homes over the years and nowhere else have I experienced this level of exceptional personal care. The Old Vicarage has a warm, upbeat family feel. The food and activity programme are excellent. The staff are thoughtful, considerate and always have time to talk. I cannot recommend The Old Vicarage highly enough.
The Old Vicarage has cared for my mother for the last four and a half years. I cannot recommend the care and professionalism and of the staff enough. The Old Vicarage is an amazing care home and nothing is too much to ensure that their clients have the highest standard of life possible. (and the...

My mum has been living at The Old Vicarage since September 2016. The management and staff have made, and continue to make, her welcome from day one. Knowing that she's looked after and cared for in such a way is such a weight off our minds. Family/visitors are made just as welcome and are included in any major activities (e.g. bonfire night, Christmas, Easter etc.). Importantly, the staff actually CARE for the residents. I'd have no hesitation in recommending The Old Vicarage.

In 1994, Dr. Siddiqi and his wife bought The Old Vicarage Care Home, and their son, Kamal, is now the Care Home owner. Kamal studied business economics at a college in London and decided to work in his family-led care home. He is currently assisting Lancaster University with a research project that explores the impact of large, digital screen stimuli for the improvement of the quality of life for those diagnosed with dementia. This is an evidence-based research project funded by Lancaster University.
Kamal strives to continue with his parents’ ethos of care, which is to "care for others as you would like others to care for you and your loved ones".
