Rectory House Nursing Home

The nursing, management and reception staff have been excellent and have gone out of their way to provide my parents with the support and care they require and also to keep me informed on what was happening to them.

In hospital, I often left in tears, the staff were all wonderful but there was so few of them and Nan always seemed so unhappy and so at risk somehow, but now when I leave Nan's room (where she's comfortable, cheerful and has people keeping a constant friendly eye on her) I almost skip out the door, I'm so grateful, content and secure in her level of care and happiness.

Mum very happy and content. She loves the staff and the way of life. She would love to have a bath but the hoist is too painful for her. If something could be done about that we would be grateful, also more outings she loved gong to Haskins. Thank you.

Everyone has made my sister feel welcome especially after an unhappy stay in hospital. She is treated with kindness, gentleness and friendliness.

My mum did not want to enter a care home but had no choice. The staff were very welcoming and encouraged us to make her room homely. They treated her with dignity and respect and took the time to get to know her and her family. I really cannot recommend Rectory House highly enough.

Very friendly and you don't have to keep to your room all day. I go to the hairdresser and have my nails painted every week. The staff are great and every afternoon there are activities which help me a lot.

I simply could not provide the level of care that Rectory House does and appreciate their hard work and love.

The experience at Rectory House for my uncle was excellent. The care provided, the attitude of the staff, the facilities and management here have all been first class. Whenever we would visit the staff were all so friendly and looked after us (with tea and coffee). Just as well as they looked after Uncle, I can't recommend the whole institute highly enough.

My husband came to Rectory House from hospital after a stroke. I was told it was for end of life care of about two months. He was very happy here and stayed for three birthdays and almost four. The staff were excellent and he liked them all. He was registered blind. Everything was super. The meals looked and tasted special - I took a picture of them! My husband and I enjoyed the entertainment. It was like 'a date'. Thank you all at Rectory House.

My mother passed away peacefully on 16th December at Rectory House Nursing Home. I would like to thank your organisation, in particular, the Rectory House team. Throughout mum's stay, she was loved and exceptionally well cared for. All the staff without exception were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They also looked after our wellbeing as well. Mum was very happy there, neither she or ourselves had any complaints at any time. Absolutely an amazing home and well run, like one big family. Our grateful thanks to you all and wish your organisation a great future.

My mother is currently a resident at Rectory House. She is nearing the end of her life, having spent seven weeks in hospital and six years prior to this in another care home. Rectory House is exceptional and I have plenty of experience with our care providers that are not!. The manageress is always available, helpful and jolly and very caring. All the staff are purposeful, happy and loving towards the residents and their families. The old building is warm, comfortable and exudes a relaxing aura, with beautiful outdoor areas, moreover it is safe, secure with good food. I highly recommend Rectory House.

Thank you to all at Rectory House for the professionalism, compassion, & total dedication of each & every member of the team for the care given to my father since he moved in last December. I know that Dad can be extremely difficult & I admire the patience shown by all. Rectory House has alleviated the heartache we, his family, felt trying to find a home good enough & within our budget for Dad, & believe me, we visited many homes in our search. The Manger made the transition from a ‘less than satisfactory’ care home to Rectory House easy. Dad soon became more settled & thrived on regular meals & proper administration of medication. When it comes to care for elderly & needy, there is no ‘one size fits all’. Rectory House really do cater to every character, temperament, & palate. The atmosphere, the facilities, the accommodation & the general ambience of Rectory House is friendly & homely–it could not be more different to all the negative programmes about care homes seen on TV.
