Overall Experience
Really friendly and helpful staff and a lovely outdoor area for enjoying the sun when we have it. My dad was at Rectory House for palliative care, he was unable to cope alone at home and the staff at Rectory House took really good care of him.

Never been in a home before, respite care only. Took a few days to work out how things worked with staff and surroundings etc. Pleased with the small portions of food, and the staff able to understand my speech. Enjoyed getting visitors coming to see me while I was there. The staff is always helpful when needed. Can’t remember doing any activities. Preferred to eat in the room, which was comfortable on the whole.
Disappointed with the occasional noise at night, preventing me from sleeping. The en-suite is a bit small to get around with my walker, equipment in the way; and no towel rail. The plug had no chain, difficult to grasp.

My mum has lived at Rectory House for 7 years and in January entered end-of-life care. The staff at the home from the receptionist, tea lady and care and nursing staff were wonderful, supportive and kind. They respected my mum's wishes and kept her dignity to the end. You could tell how fond they were of her and treated me with kindness at every turn. The staff was lovely and reassuring and Mum had wonderful care until the end.

There are a lot of changes going on at the moment due to home take over, I hope that more staff can be appointed and not have to have many agency staff as we all like continuity.

I have been so impressed with the care and compassion shown towards my father during a very difficult time for our family. We found the experience of accessing appropriate nursing care for Dad emotionally stressful and the staff (management and care staff alike) were so helpful and supportive during the whole process.
I strongly feel that the staff at Rectory House are doing the best for my father and putting him at the centre of decision-making, and that has helped him, my mum and the wider family.

As a carer for my grandmother, I have/had high standards when it came to relocating her from her initial care home.
I am nothing but delighted that she came to Rectory. The staff are wonderful with her. Before, in her other care home, she was disengaged, lonely and left on her own most of the day. At Rectory House, Grandma has always got staff popping in and out, they come in and talk to her, including her and making her feel like family. The food is good will a well-balanced nutritional diet.
The activities team are great at catering for those that want entertainment. I believe some improvement can be made to the activities offered, but they are on that already.

There have been a few issues that we have experienced since the move here in 2022, but the management are very keen to iron out any issues and come up with solutions to avoid these things happening again. It's not always about the problem, it's about how it's learnt from to avoid the same re-occurring. Thank you so much.

My wife and I are devoted friends to a lady, one of your residents. We visit her frequently from Southampton and are her Attorneys for her health and finance affairs. We have been very happy with the standard of care that she has received in the over six-year period that she has been at Rectory House. However, we feel that just lately, the staff and assistant manager have excelled themselves in the quality and attention that she is receiving. They have made a decision to put her on a soft diet, as she is having difficulty swallowing, and recently got her GP involved in preparation for end-of-life care. The assistant manager has been particularly attentive and is keeping us informed as well as encouraging the duty nurse of the day to do likewise.
So my wife and I commend and nominate your assistant manager for promotion to the vacancy as Rectory House manager. We believe she has shown immense skill both medically and in her caring attitude towards residents and staff alike. We know that she is wrestling with the idea and hope that she will apply shortly. She has earnt it, and she deserves it. We wish her every success.

Mum is always treated with respect and dignity by the home and overall her care is good. I would like to be involved more in decisions about her care plan. I have said I wanted to have input but haven’t been contacted to do so. The outstanding maintenance issues remain and I’m a bit sad that I made mum a lovely cheerful picture last year and it still hasn’t been put on her wall for her to enjoy. Staff communicate well with me about any health issues. I haven’t been able to visit due to Covid but when I do it is well managed. I appreciate being able to video call her every week and staff are great at facilitating this.
