The Old Vicarage is the "residents home" and not a place of work, the evidence of which I see in my dad each time I visit. He looks so well cared for and has started to smile again!!
Thank you so much for sending in such a wonderful review. The team at The Old Vicarage and The Willows work so hard to ensure that our residents feel that they are very much 'at home'. Your comments will give them the feedback they need to know that they are doing it right! Kind regards

The staff, management and administrator were very accommodating and they attend to our concerns as family members equally as they look after her with love, affection and dignity.
She responds to their care and knows their commitment and genuine care for her individual needs.
Thank you very much for this review which so perfectly expresses the support you have received at the home. We are proud to know that the team at The Old Vicarage are giving the best of care to your Aunty and to yourselves as a family.
Kind Regards.
My mother loves living here, the care and attention she loves it. Keep up the good work.

Mother-in-law was taken on holiday to Blackpool for 3 days by care staff. While away, her room was painted with new carpet etc., so happy on her return.

Thank you for taking the trouble to review The Old Vicarage. This is a home which really takes the time and trouble to 'go the extra mile' for all of their residents and I am so pleased that both the holiday and the bedroom 'makeover' were a resounding success! Kind regards

It's always such a pleasure to visit. The home prides itself on being friendly. There is a lot of lighthearted banter from the minute you walk through the door.
They are always looking for something different to do. The recent garden competition has been great fun. The staff are so competitive and "house proud". It had us all laughing. My favourite debate of the year has definitely been the Yankee candle flavours....sorry ladies but the ginger one did smell like curry haha.
Because of the friendliness of the staff, we always feel at ease when discussing my nan's care and know that she is in safe, competent hands. This is not a care home....it is a "HOME". You should all be proud.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to send a review and mentioning a few of the small things which come together to make this home stand out as a real 'home from home'. The team at the home care about the smallest of things which will make the daily lives of our residents more enjoyable and the popularity of the home is a testament to the hard work, care and commitment of all who work at the home.

When my brother was admitted initially and for some time afterwards, I was sometimes disappointed by certain aspects of the care home (laundry problems, articles of my brother's clothing going missing, lack of attention to his personal grooming etc) For some time now, however, I have noticed significant and encouraging improvement in the way the home is run and in its general ambience, as well as in the care that my brother receives. I would like to thank the management and staff or their continuing efforts.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble to review our home. The points you raise are valid and demonstrate how when a new resident moves into a care environment, it takes a while to get to know and put in place the smallest details of care. By working with both residents and families we are able to perfect and deliver a bespoke personal care service which meets every one of our resident's wishes, no matter how small. The aim is always to keep our residents and their families happy and I am reassured to know that you are able to see the efforts which all of the home team make to ensure that this is so. Kind regards
The care my mum receives here is excellent. The nurses and carers always treat her with care, compassion and dignity. The care shown to the family is also excellent. The nurses always take the time to keep you informed of mums condition, treatment and participation in events, they are always warm...
The staff took time and an interest in finding out about who mum is and was so they can engage her, talking with her about her interests and people who are important to her.
Even ensuring she has birthday cards for families birthdays, which means so much.
I am so pleased that mum is at this care home and getting the very best of care.

I find the staff to be fantastic with my Nana. The staff are; open, honest and truthful. My Nana seems happy and content at The Vicarage. As Family members, we are always made to feel welcome and often chat with the staff, whilst they are helping my nana (Nana enjoys having conversations with them whilst they are caring for her). The staff are quick to answer/respond to any concerns we raise. I would say the activities that are provided are excellent but I would prefer more activities than currently. I have made a suggestion so all residents can watch a TV in the communal lounge and I fully trust this will be considered. I fully trust The Old Vicarage with the care of my Nana.

My father has been a resident of The Willows within The Old Vicarage for just over a month, having been transformed from another home at the start of March 2017. The move went smoothly and my father settled in well. Before deciding on The Old Vicarage, I visited several care homes and this facility...
In the intervening period between expressing an interest and the move, the management team at the home were brilliant, keeping us informed of room availability and adjusting on likely timescales. As my father's vascular dementia continues apace, I have no doubt that we made the right decision and have no hesitation in recommending The Old Vicarage

Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to share your experience regarding the move of your father to The Old Vicarage for his care and comfort. The home is lead by a strong and committed team and their desire to deliver the best of care and living experience is picked up by the dedicated staff team. Your experience, I am sure, will give comfort to others looking for care at the home. Thank you again and kind regards.

The carers and entertainment staff have got to know him well and have a lovely rapport with him, laughing at his dry sense of humour which lightens the darker side of life in a dementia home.
Not only do they care for him but they are always there for us, understanding the pain we go through and offering support when needed.
The current management and staff always find time to speak and I know I can approach them at any time about any concerns I may have with the knowledge that they will listen and do something about it.
The home itself is always clean and bright with a friendly atmosphere.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear that the care and attention from the team at the home extends beyond the care of your brother but to the whole family. Everyone at the home tries so hard to make a real difference to the lives of our residents and it is great that this is recognised by family members. Kind regards

We could not be more delighted at the care provided by the team here. No matter what time we visit, there is always supervision of the residents. They are all dressed and clean. The general ambience is calm and the love and kindness, together with respecting the dignity of the residents is clearly evident. The little touches are also there e.g. giving hand massage and moisturiser after cutting nails. The staff all have a sense of humour and are compassionate towards the residents and their families. This home is truly a home and a wonderful place to be.
Thank you for your great review of the home and services. I am sure that the team will be delighted to hear the great comments you have regarding the care and attention they provide. Kind Regards.
I found all the staff and management to be kind, caring and there for family members as well as residents.

The staff are all nice and caring but we need more staff and staff training. Clothes go missing all the time, and we don't know where they go. Sometimes they end up in other residents rooms.

Thank you for taking the time to review The Old Vicarage. You have highlighted an issue concerning laundry and I would urge you to go and speak to the staff who will be more than happy to help you. Occasionally there is the issue that clothing items which are very similar are not returned to their rightful owners, but we do all we can to ensure that this does not happen. We ask that all clothing is labelled. The laundry rooms are organised in such a way to ensure that everyone has laundered items returned to them in room numbered baskets but despite the best will in the world, and a laundry team which is very used to running the service very smoothly, very occasionally, something may have been returned in error to the wrong person. We apologise if this has happened and we will do all we can to help identify any missing item, so please speak to the team who care for your loved one and they will be more than happy to help. Thank you again for reviewing the home and we hope that you will do so again in the future and comment again on the service. Kind Regards.

Recently I found myself looking around for a care home for my dad having looked at a few you get a feel for the type of home you have in your head and how you would like your loved ones cared for, this for me was by far the best with its modern décor and its really bubbly staff that like a good genuine laugh and a joke with the residents and engaging with them. I go in most days even taking my black Labrador in who gets made a big fuss off, it's great to see my dad smiling again as he went through a period of not being well and losing the interest in a lot of things, this place gets a big thumbs up from me, so to all the staff keep up the good work.
Thank you for such a great review! I am certain that your comments will encourage others to consider the home for loved one and I think that the team will be very pleased to know that you have taken the time to give such positive feedback. Kind regards.
My brother has been living at The Old Vicarage for around 18 months and I can not fault any part of the service they provide. All staff are warm and welcoming and have a great rapport with m y brother. I would not hesitate to recommend the Old Vic.

Hi, my name is Jo. I am the Administrator at The Old Vicarage & The Willows Care Home.
I have been in this position since March 2022. However, I have been working in The Old Vicarage & The Willows Care Home for nearly 9 years.

As much as I loved both jobs, when I started, I always pictured myself as the administrator and I can now honestly say I am in the best job which I feel very passionate about!
