Review from Gail S (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I'm very pleased with The Old Vicarage. Their care of my mother has been exemplary. Daria has kept us well informed when my mother was unwell. Mum has been out on trips with staff and thoroughly enjoyed herself which is something that we as family could not do with her when she was resident at home.
↩Reply from Daria Koeller, manager at The Old Vicarage

Review from John F (Son of Resident) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has severe dementia and has resided at the Old Vicarage for approx 5 years. Staff are knowledgeable, caring, respectful, proactive and keen to respond and act on any ideas, concerns or suggestions to improve care and enhance the environment. Staff discuss, collaborate and agree care needs with relatives, seeking medical advice when necessary.
Management at the home is keen to encourage and involve carers/ friends and relatives to visit and participate in the activities provided in the home. A support group for friends and relatives meets most months when people can share their thoughts and experience. Friends and relatives are free to visit the home at any time without notice.

Facilities are basic but adequate. Activities are provided to stimulate residents in keeping with their interests and ability. Recent activities have included exercise sessions/Easter egg hunt/trips to garden centre/Christmas party/pantomime and daily creative activities such as painting.

Overall Experience
My mother was in there for 2 years and now my wife has been in here since 15th January and it's the most caring and friendly place. The care manager and the staff are very very good and look after the residents and their families.

Review from Katie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mum is currently in The Old Vicarage. We agonised over her care at home for along time. When the manager visited us at home we were all put at ease. Mum has been there a month now and the care she is receiving is outstanding. The staff have a genuine love for the residents and I know that Mum is well cared for. It was the hardest thing we had to do putting her into care, but the team here have made it bearable for us. They don’t only care for the resident, they look out for the family too. Highly recommended.
