I find the staff welcoming and informative each time I visit; they are friendly, and it makes one feel special. I can see that the needs of the residents are well looked after, and they take the time to have a conversation with them. A person's needs are catered for very well. The office staff keep me informed as and when necessary. It is a friendly place with outside space for residents that is safe and secure and I would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

The managers and staff at the Old Vicarage are fantastic and could not have done more to make the respite care stay welcoming and comfortable for my parents, even freshly redecorating a double room at short notice for them.

The whole building is clean & kept tidy. Staff have a lovely rapport with residents & their families. There is entertainment on weekdays, and residents are moved around regularly to mix & socialise with one another.

The rooms are comfortable and we have been able to take Dad's personal items to make it more comfortable. I would recommend The Old Vicarage to anyone in need of residential care.

I'm writing this review because I just saw the review from the past I just wanted to say there are new owners and managers and chefs etc.
The home is fantastic. Always improving The Old Vicarage looks after my mum 100%. My mum loves it there, my mum thinks it's her home now and is looked after 100%. We can go there anytime and take our nugget/dog/ to see her at any time: they are so approachable and nothing is too much trouble.
I can go on but will stop there just wanted to let everyone know how happy we are.

During his 4 month stay my husband has been helped to settle into the home. The carers have been attentive and kept him tidy and medication has been administered as prescribed by a doctor. At night, one of the staff, on occasion, has been less than patient with his needs. This has been unfortunate as the other staff are very kind. Reception is always welcoming and helpful.
My mother is looked after here very well.

My father-in-law has been here for about eight weeks. We all, as his family, have been very impressed and pleased with all aspects of his care. The staff are always happy and helpful and as visitors, we are always made welcome and kept well informed. The food always looks very tasty.

The overall care given to my wife is good. Certain times I have to seek assistance in maintaining she does not wet herself, this seems to be when certain staff are on duty. I don't get any information on what she requires ie soap, shampoo or any clothing she needs. Medical wise the response is excellent. I have asked that when soup is offered brown bread is offered, can I please ask that such bread is available, if not then I am informed and I will bring some brown bread for the soup.
My granny really enjoys being here. She likes how lovable and well-looked after she is, everyone made her feel so welcomed when she arrived. There's lots to do, like sit in the garden, lots of activities such as pool table, tennis and much more. The food here is really good and carers are lovely...
