Review from Trevor W (Son of Resident) published on 23 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mam had the privilege to spend the last 15 months of her life at Wooler. The home has charm and character and is set in grounds that match the home. There is plenty of area for small walks and seats to sit on. There is a nice conservatory to sit in and they have a nice sun house to sit in when the weather
is fine. The entire staff are so friendly and dedicated to the welfare of the residents, nothing but praise for all of them. It was reassuring to know that, although mam had Alzheimer's she had the best care while she was a resident and when we visited we always found her to be cheerful.

Review from Kate T (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Residents at The Old Vicarage receive expert care which is delivered with respect and genuine love from all of the staff. The manager adopts the latest and best care practices superbly and is tireless in finding new ways to enhance the surroundings and daily living experiences of the residents, who
she treats as extended family.
The entertainments manager is hilarious and imaginative and really makes a difference to the interaction and quality of life of both the residents and their visitors. The care staff are meticulous and prompt in their care which is always given respectfully with thought to the resident's wishes and privacy. Each carer invests a great deal of empathy and love for all of the residents - no matter how difficult an individual's behaviour may be to deal with. The home is squeaky-clean and smells fresh, since they steam clean everything at night. The food is wholesome with a wide choice available and includes lots of cakes. Guests are always made to feel welcome.
