The Old Rectory

The most important thing to our family is that my mum is very happy living at the Old Rectory, she never has anything to complain about, loves the staff, the food and enjoys all the activities, which are numerous. Having been transferred from hospital to there last year during the lockdown and never seeing her old home again I expected at least some settling in problems but the staff were amazing, especially as I could have no input, due to covid. She got the love and family atmosphere that we could not give at the time. Words cannot express our thanks. Would recommend this home, without a doubt.

My late husband was a resident at the Old Rectory for only a short period of time. I was given a great deal of support and consideration, and the Care team were kind. The residents who were mobile seemed very happy, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Lots of activities and entertainments for those who were able to ‘get around’, and the surroundings and outdoor areas felt ‘homely’. Due to the situation with my husband's health and the pandemic, he was unable to benefit from the facilities mentioned, and I cannot give a precise comment on the food and drink because he was on a restricted diet. However, it must be said that I was permitted to visit him twice a day at a time that was crucial to us both and difficult for the home and for that, I am especially thankful to the manager and also to her and the medical team at the care hjome who was all in full support in aiding me to get him home for his last few days.

My aunt received good care in her time at The Old Rectory. My family are very grateful to the staff for their sensitivity and compassion during her final days there, especially as we were unable to visit her.

I have been helping here for a very short space of time, however, the care provision, atmosphere, love and compassion felt as soon as you walk in the door is absolutely outstanding! There is no doubt in my mind that every single staff member cares deeply for their resident, from the cleaning staff right through to the owners and directors of the company, every single resident is treated with respect, love, fondness and dignity. I for one would highly recommend The Old Rectory to everyone. They are a pleasure to support and I absolutely love seeing how everyone smiles on a daily basis.

Although my father was in The Old Rectory nursing home for less than a week, he really enjoyed being there and was treated with loving respect and professional care.

I would like to take this moment to say a massive thank you to you all, I have worked in the care sector for 17 years and I know how hard it can be but to remind you that what you do has a massive impact, not just on your patients but the families also, so thank you.

With some trepidation, we brought my mother to The Old Rectory not knowing how she would adjust to living here having lived independently in her own flat for six years. We had no need to be concerned. My mother was made very welcome and immediately took to the activities that the home organised. Special mention should be made of the man who sings old favourites in the lounge - which is normally packed when it is his turn to appear. Altogether it has been a very smooth transition and we are now confident my mother will be happy here.

My Mother-in-law received excellent care at the Old Rectory Nursing home. Her care was delivered with compassion, dignity and loving care. We could not have wished for a better place for our mother. The nursing team delivered and managed her medication regime, she was comfortable and pain-free. The home has so many things to offer with a friendly, homely environment. They were an amazing team. Nothing was too much.

Always doing everything they could to keep my mother happy and comfortable. So often when I was approaching my mother's room, I could hear the care staff seeing to mum, how they were speaking to mum was so lovely. No wonder my mum was happy, even though she suffered sometimes they did their best to make sure she didn't.

We found this home to be great for mum, the carers love and cared for her right to the end. We couldn't have asked for more. If we had any problems I spoke to the manager and we came to an agreement to suit both sides which was great, although maybe not perfect. The level of care was very good.

The staff were all so amazing, making this feel like a real family home, we can't thank them enough, and will definitely be still popping in for a cuppa, when we are passing.

Thank you all so much again.

A brilliant home, with an outstanding atmosphere. Well done to you all.
