I can't praise The Old Vicarage enough for the care and kindness that everyone has shown our family. The home is very clean and tidy. The food is very nice and I love that my mum has a choice. My mum is very settled and I wouldn't move her anywhere else.

Review from C H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

All members of staff were caring, considerate and compassionate. All you could ask for. The most reassuring moment was an over-heard conversation whilst waiting outside mum's bedroom. Two members of staff were assisting a resident out of bed with patience re-assuring and good humour - wonderful.

The only improvements that could be made would be more staff and more funding.

I sincerely hope The Old Vicarage care home get all they need - they thoroughly deserve it.

Overall Experience
Overall very caring staff, deal with individual needs with comfort and a cuddle when needed.
Lots of interaction and plenty of activities on offer, with new ideas to help resident's stimulation.
The bedroom is always clean and tidy. Management and staff are always approachable, friendly and helpful with any concerns.

The food is very good and there is a variety of choice for all residents. The laundry service is very useful and quick.

Review from Christine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Once my mums routine was established the care she has received at The Old Vicarage has been excellent. I do not recall my mum ever being as happy as she has been here. Over the last 2 weeks mum has deteriorated. The team have worked hard to keep her comfortable and have always acted in her best interests. My family and I are always made welcome and our opinions are considered. I would not hesitate to recommend The Old Vicarage to others.
