Overall Experience

Lovely care home with great staff and a good homely feel. The staff are always happy to go above and beyond to provide great care, would recommend it to anyone looking to use a care facility. The gardens and outdoor space are really quaint and lovely to enjoy in the summer. The rooms are spacious and

the home is really clean at any time I have visited.

Review from R D (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 19 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report

We were very fortunate that we chose Old Vicarage for my late mother-in-law's last weeks end of life care.
We could not have asked for a more loving and caring environment to say our goodbyes after she'd had a prolonged stay in hospital. Every staff member was incredibly sensitive to both mine and

my wife's needs as well as my mother-in law's.
After such a dreadful two years of being separated from her, due to Covid restrictions, it was special to be able to be with her to say goodbye in such lovely and peaceful surroundings.
The matron and care staff's genuine care and understanding made a very difficult few days a lot more bearable for which we will always be grateful.

Review from J H (Cousin of Resident) published on 12 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

My cousin was a resident at the home for 14 years until the 13th June. I have always been more than happy with the home but under the present owner who has invested a great deal of money, the home is truly excellent.

Review from C H (Niece of Resident) published on 3 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

My aunt was only in the nursing home a short time but was well looked after.
Management was always available, helpful and friendly.
The matron is lovely as are the sisters.
All of the nursing staff were caring, especially one who went above and beyond.
The carers work very hard and nearly all of

them are cheerful and caring.
The laundry lady brightened our lives too.

Review from T F (Resident) published on 8 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Excellent care and facilities with friendly staff.
I could not fault the staff in any way as all were cooperative, gentle and caring to the residents. The management was always available to us to help with guidance or queries about administrative matters. As an example of a care home, I would rate

it as outstanding. The staff even came to my brother's funeral 28 miles away.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for The Old Vicarage Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.852 for The Old Vicarage Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.852
5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Vicarage Nursing Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
