The attraction of The Old Rectory is its commitment to provide a home for those that must relocate. The location is attractive with a country home set in a large, well-maintained garden. There is an easily accessible car park. The building was converted from a church rectory and extended, all the rooms have a distinct individuality without a clinical ambience.
Residents have the option to bring items from their own homes to make the rooms look and feel familiar. The food is flavorful and nutritionally balanced. The management and staff include qualified nurses and carers – all make every effort to see to the welfare of the residents. An effort is made to create a family atmosphere among the residents. There are frequent, diverse in-house activities, i.e. quizzes, visiting entertainers or classes, that the residents may choose to attend. Special festive days, such as Christmas, are celebrated lavishly. Residents are provided a supportive, friendly and homely community.

The Old Rectory is a very caring, friendly and happy environment and provided a warm welcome to my mother who was relocating to this area. They put a lot of effort into providing entertaining activities for residents and put on a wonderful Christmas Day. All the staff throughout the home are friendly, caring and professional. My mum speaks highly of the food she receives. I don't think we could find a better home for Mum.

I spent three weeks at The Old Rectory to receive fairly intensive daily nursing care while my partner went on a respite holiday. The whole nursing and care and support and catering team were all extremely attentive, caring, encouraging, professional and committed during my stay and were always prepared to go the extra mile - an absolutely wonderful team! Extremely impressive!
In addition, The Old Rectory has a large and absolutely beautiful garden which I use every day for several hours. My room was large and very comfortable and kept very clean. The quality and choice of food was first-class. The team were also superb at looking after my visitors. Whenever I needed anything a bit unusual the brilliant Home Manager made it happen for me effortlessly and mostly instantaneously. I am sure I will be back!

When I think of The Old Rectory I think of smiles and efficiency. Everyone there is smiling and several people have told me they would not want to work anywhere else. The residents I have spoken to are all happy to live there and visitors like me are delighted to be looked after with kindness. I have painful leg ulcers. I always look forward to the delicious food, especially the puddings and homemade soup. When the help button is pressed someone always comes almost immediately even late at night. When help is needed with dressing or showering the carers are kind and discreet.
