Review from Hayley B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I can't thank the care home enough for how they have literally saved my mum. She was close to a breakdown again, low, mood swings, not eating and drinking properly, didn't know night from day and extremely anxious pacing, with the hard work of all the staff she's a different lady now. All aspects of care couldn't be better. The support and kindness is a godsend at times. Best are the activities that keep Mum and her new friends busy throughout the day. Mum is Elvis's biggest fan and the home have Elvis music and books. She's safe and happy and in good health considering she's getting severe Alzheimer's dementia. Mum couldn't be in better care. And her favourite thing now is having her hair and nails done.
↩Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Old Rectory Nursing Home
Thank you so much for this glowing review, it is so nice to see how much of a difference the team have made to Mum's daily life through care and activities. Alzheimer's is an awful progressive disease but if we can make a difference now, that is what matters.

Review from Kay L (Niece of Resident) published on 12 July 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
As soon as my aunt arrived at Old Rectory she was made to feel most welcome and looked after perfectly. I was impressed that they asked me what she liked to do/hobbies so that they could keep her happy and engaged. I am kept informed about any issues very quickly and I feel confident my Aunt is being well looked after.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you are happy with your aunt's care.

Review from Peter M (Son of Resident) published on 17 January 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
During funding conversations, I felt the staff involved fought for the best interests of Mum and showed a level of love and compassion for her. Mum's illness is horrible, and I know she can be difficult at times, but I feel the staff are patient and respectful.
