Review from H M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff are very friendly and helpful. I always get a phone call if Mum has had to see the doctor or has had a fall. The staff are very good with Mum as she no longer walks and has dementia. They know what she likes and dislikes. The Old Vicarage has recently been repainted and had new flooring and has a very clean and bright feel to it. Mum has a ground floor room which has a lovely aspect over the gardens, which are well maintained.

Love visiting The Old Vicarage. Everyone is so nice and the staff look after everyone so well. It is always clean and smells fresh. I can see from the display walls that there are always activities to get involved in. It is clear that management care a lot about the home, its residents and their staff.

Overall Experience

My grandad has recently moved into The Old Vicarage and I cannot praise the management and staff enough. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming. My grandad has settled well and enjoys being around people. The food always looks lovely and the home always seems to have lots of activities going on. I would definitely recommend the home to anyone.

I visit my friend frequently and always find the home to be very clean, the staff are all very friendly and do everything they can to help answer any questions I may have.

The manager is very professional and always has time to tell me how my friend is getting on and I know she is well looked after and is very settled in the home.

My mum has been in The Old Vicarage since January 2017, she absolutely loves staying there and we are very comfortable leaving her there, they always have entertainment on for the residents and always music paying for a sing-song. Quality of care is excellent, mum's come on leaps and bounds since being here.

Overall Experience
My auntie has been in The Old Vicarage since April/May 2018 and I have to say that my auntie has flourished whilst being here.
She is a lot happier, she is kept immaculate and is eating like a queen.
He appetite is back due to the varied menu on offer.
All the staff are amazing with the residents and the activities program is very good as well.

I thank you 'The Old Vicarage' for giving me 'old' auntie back!!

Overall Experience

Mum came to the home for respite care after a period in hospital after a short yet severe illness. As soon as my brother and I came to look round we knew it was the best care home we had seen and would perfectly suit mum's needs. The welcome and care demonstrated by the staff throughout mum's stay were first class and they always treated her with dignity and respect. Mum particularly enjoyed the 'chair based exercise classes' and we could see her strength and confidence returning throughout her stay. Thank you for the care you gave to mum in her time with you. We are so very grateful!
