Thank you Rhonda for your review, we loved having your mum stay and miss seeing you all. Keep in touch from all of the team.
Only fly in the ointment is an issue with medication protocol which I am assured has now been resolved - I feel this is a communication issue. Management and staff are hard working and motivated - far more so than in other homes....
All in all very good :)

The Rectory is a wonderful, caring and delightful residential care home. The highly professional staff offer a concierge level of service, facilitating the resident's health, stability and mental well being. The cuisine is first class, cleanliness is impeccable, medical support outstanding, and location tranquil, next to an ancient Church whose bells are delightful. Most importantly they care about each resident as individuals, treat them with dignity and provide a happy, vibrant environment. I can't recommend them enough. Ten stars if available.
Thank you so much for your compliments. It is a pleasure to take care of your mum. I will make sure the whole team at The Rectory is aware of your kind words.

My auntie is very well looked after. I couldn't ask for better care. Since moving to The Rectory she is a different person. She is eating better and as made lots of new friends and is joining in with the groups.

I'm Rachel, the Registered Manager at Rectory Care. I have worked in the care sector for nine years, spending the last seven at Rectory Care, where I progressed from Care Assistant to Registered Manager.
My passion for care began when I cared for my terminally ill mother-in-law. This deeply personal experience inspired me to pursue a career dedicated to providing compassionate, dignified and person-centred care.
What makes Rectory Care so special to me is its warm, homely atmosphere and our wonderful team, who treat residents like family. It truly feels like my second home. I'm incredibly proud of the caring environment we've created, where everyone feels valued, respected and supported.
I believe the little things make the biggest difference, whether that's celebrating a resident's birthday, organising meaningful activities or joining in with singing and dancing. Seeing our residents happy and enjoying life is the most rewarding part of my role.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, enjoying holidays, cooking, baking and tackling DIY projects. I also appreciate a cosy evening at home with a scented candle and my favourite M&S treats!

Meet Zoe – Deputy Manager
I'm Zoe Courtnage, Deputy Manager at The Old Rectory. I've worked in the care sector for 29 years, starting as a Care Assistant at just 16 and progressing through various senior roles to Deputy Manager.
My passion for care was inspired by my nan and step-nan, who both worked in care home management. Growing up around care, I saw first-hand the difference kindness and compassion can make, and I knew it was the career for me.
What makes The Old Rectory so special is its beautiful surroundings, homely atmosphere and genuine sense of family. I'm proud to be part of such a dedicated team, where residents, families and staff all support one another.
I believe great care starts with listening, building trust and getting to know each resident as an individual. For me, it's about more than meeting someone's needs – it's about making them feel safe, valued, happy and truly at home.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, enjoying holidays and cheering on my son at his football matches. I also enjoy keeping my home clean, tidy and organised!

I'm Mia, the administrator for The Rectory, and I have worked in care since this year, 2026.
I've always enjoyed being a part of something that makes a difference. Working in care allows me to contribute in my own way.
As the administrator, I love being able to help things stay organised and run smoothly, with the interests of our residents at heart.
The Old Rectory is a one-of-a-kind place to work. The unique grounds and wonderful people we see daily make the atmosphere of The Rectory a very special and uplifting one.
I believe that every small gesture can make all the difference in a day. As I am situated at the front desk, I have a lot of opportunities to greet residents and help with any requests they have.
I try to keep residents happy with our tuck shop trolley, taking suggestions and decorating it to the time of year.
Outside of work, I like to express my creativity in the kitchen, cooking and baking, as well as spending time with my family.

My name is Vicky Wood, and I have worked in care for 13 years.
I love cleaning, organising and feeling satisfied that I have made a difference, so working in a care home was ideal for me, being able to do these things for people who need that kind of support.
The Old Rectory is a very friendly, relaxed home. We have lovely management, and all staff are helpful. There is a very good working atmosphere. The housekeeping team work to a very high standard and loves to keep residents happy in their home.
I make sure their rooms are clean and tidy and always make sure they are happy, for myself or anyone on the housekeeping team to carry out daily tasks in their rooms. I'm always happy to have a chat with them and offer any further help where needed.
I love cleaning my own home (I love DIY with some help) and spending time with my family.

My name is Jodie Watson, and I have worked at The Old Rectory for 11 years (since May 2015). I started in the kitchen, then became an Activities Assistant, before progressing to Activities Coordinator. My mum always worked in a care environment, so I followed.
My role is very rewarding. The residents are like family to me, and it's so lovely to see the things we do bring them happiness.
I personally think the staff play a massive role in your place of work. The staff at The Rectory are hard workers, extremely polite and friendly, and everyone gets on well in all departments. I also think the management team deserve a lot of credit for this. Their dedication doesn't go unnoticed.
I am always myself around the residents and will always try my best to go above and beyond for them. I listen when they need to talk and always take action on my words. Their ideas regarding activities are taken on board, and we generally just have a great time together.
I am a mum to my soon-to-be 14-month-old daughter. My days off are spent with her, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I do occasionally enjoy meeting friends for a meal and a glass of wine or two!

My name is Robert Perks, and I am the Head Chef here at The Old Rectory. I have spent the last 22 years specialising in care home catering.
I am driven by a passion for providing healthy, highly nutritious meals for people of varying ages with complex dietary and nutritional needs. What I enjoy most about my role is the creative freedom I have with our menus, which allows me to offer a good variety of different dishes. A highlight is catering for the Summer Cosford Air Show event here at the old Rectory.It is a uniquely friendly place with a warm atmosphere. We place a huge emphasis on using good quality, unique ingredients in our kitchen. Most importantly, it is a place where everybody genuinely supports each other—both the staff and our wonderful residents.
I make it my personal mission to ensure we cater for their individual needs. I focus on providing meals that are familiar to them and prepared well, helping them feel comfortable and truly cared for.
Outside of work, I love staying active by walking and spending quality time with my Jack Russell dog. I also love baking and trying out new recipes at home.

My name is Philip Cartwright, and I've been employed at The Old Rectory since June 2025, for 15 months. What inspired me to work in care was the ability to look after people.
The Old Rectory is a special place to work because we have a team of very friendly, great people who work here. The management are great at their jobs, which makes it even more enjoyable to work here. Feels like one big family, a great team.
I speak with our residents on a daily basis, making sure anything they need or require is done for them as soon as possible. I also like to make sure the outside of the home is maintained, especially the planting of flowers, which the residents love to see and watch grow in the grounds of the home.
