What can I say about this place - my mum-in-law stayed at The Old Rectory Care Home for 4 months. She was given so much wonderful care and love by the staff during this time and as a family, it was so reassuring to know she was in the best hands during this period of her life. We would recommend this
care home without exception.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, the review is very reassuring for the team to know that families feel this way and that the care they give is exceptional.

Father-in-law has been a resident for two years and has been treated with dignity and respect. Today the home has hosted a friends and family day with RAF flying overhead. It was such a delightful day with us gaining a real understanding of the interactions and relationships the whole team have with
the residents, it was a pure joy.

Reply from Karyn Holmes., Manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you, it was a success again and to invite friends and family to enjoy the day with their loved ones is a bonus, so you too can experience the extra that the team put in to ensure the day is the best experience they have.

I asked my mum 'What do you like about The Old Rectory Care Home' Her reply summed it up, she said 'What's not to like'. They tend to my every need with care and kindness. This is the best home to be in! We agree with her. The staff and management are very professional and above all, treat us like their
own family. What more can you ask for! They're the best.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Shared registered manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you for the review, it made me laugh as I can imagine her saying that, very straight to the point, we're pleased that you also feel we treat you like extended family, that is our aim.

Super response to my nan when she fell while I was visiting, quick response to first aid, very efficient with getting her back on her feet and all treatment was delivered while maintaining all her dignity and respect. She was looked after throughout the event to make sure she was ok.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you for your kind review, it wasn't what your nan was expecting or planned for the garden party, however she did enjoy the rest of her day with the family and the fuss you made of her was beautiful to see.

My mother passed away recently having spent nearly twelve years at The Old Rectory Care Home. She was always very happy with her care and the home, as were we, her family. Whatever she wanted, the staff always went the extra mile to provide, she was 99 when she passed away and we had put her long life
down to the wonderful care and superb food she received from the staff at Rectory where nothing was too much trouble.
During the last month of her life, staff were visibly upset by her deteriorating health and many in tears when she finally passed away. Some may see this outward display of emotion as unprofessional, we saw it as a reflection of just how much they care for their residents and are truly grateful for their outstanding care. We would wholeheartedly recommend Rectory for the excellent service they provide.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you for your very kind words. She was such a character and the team were so fond of her. The staff will be overwhelmed by your response but very appreciative.

I cannot rate The Old Rectory high enough. I will be forever grateful for the way they looked after my mom during her short time there. The staff are without exception genuinely lovely. They cared for Mom with the greatest love and respect and were without exception amazing in every way. The place
is impeccably clean, the food is really outstanding and most importantly they cared for my mom as if she was their own. Absolute first class.

My mother's care was excellent at all times. She was not always the easiest of people to deal with but everybody was so kind and caring towards her and nothing was too much trouble. She was cared for as if she was their own mother. If God created angels, then this team at The Old Rectory are them.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you for your lovely, heartfelt review. It was a privilege to care for your mother and also your father a few years ago. She was a small lady with a big character who we adored and each and every one of the team across the home work with passion in their role to ensure that families feel how you do. Once again thank you and the team will feel appreciative for the kind words.

I would recommend The Old Rectory Care Home due to the ownership and management culture.
This sets the tone and quality of care for residents.
Standards and consistency are essential to deliver quality of care.
Employees are attracted and valued and then stay.
At a time of challenge for families,
it was refreshing to get a highly professional and caring experience from everyone at The Rectory.
Mum only stayed here for two weeks as the setting was not right for her or the other residents.
We received advice and support to find the right next place as well.
It seems to me, people over profit is the approach and that leads to residents who, at a particular time of life, get the respect and courtesy they deserve.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Shared registered manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you for your kind review, Ian, I hope that you would receive this from any care home as the culture should always be about the resident. During your mother's short time here, we got to know her and really wished we were able to meet her needs but unfortunately, this wasn't the case. She made such a beautiful impact on the team here. I will share this review with the team so they know what they are doing makes a difference to not only the residents but also to their families.

A superb home with genuinely kind and caring staff who go above and beyond to care for their residents. Outstanding level of cleanliness with a true home feel. My grandmother has really come back to life since becoming a resident. The food is outstanding also. She is happy and cared for which brings
her family total peace of mind.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Shared registered manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you so much for the kind review, your grandmother has definitely settled into her new life here and enjoys her family visits and quality days out. It's lovely to see her wider family come and enjoy the entertainment and meals with her. She is very content and we are also content that her family now have peace of mind that she is safe and well cared for.

My father-in-law is being well cared for with compassion, dignity, and most of all, great care in a comfortable, very clean environment.
He has improved considerably since coming to the home in August.
Thank you hugely to all the wonderful staff who are so kind and caring to J and also his wife
who visits regularly. They are all helpful and very polite. They are always a phone call away and give regular updates on his condition.
I am also pleased to say that the home has reviewed its Wi-Fi connection which was erratic and has been improved with booster - thank you again.

Thank you for your kind and honest review; I will show them the review. We are very proud of the team that works here, so these are lovely comments. Thank you for the feedback about the WIFI. We love to see his wife here and is welcome to visit any time and have lunch or supper with her husband.

Mum was a resident of The Old Rectory Care Home from May 2018 until her passing this week. Mum was looked after exceptionally well by all of the staff. The standard of accommodation, cleanliness, and decor is superb. The dining room and food provided was excellent. Table service provided by the team
made the residents feel more special. Mum had a special friendship/relationship with many of the staff and they treated her as a friend which she treasured very much. The management and staff helped with external visits to the dentist and other places. When Mum was taken to hospital the day before she passed away, a senior member of the team, on hearing we may not get to the hospital in time, drove to the hospital to be with Mum to ensure she wasn't on her own. These acts of going the extra mile are a great example of why we have been delighted with the Old Rectory over the last 5.3/4 years. Great people, lovely facility, respectful of their residents and approachable. Highly recommended.

My wife recently stayed at The Old Rectory for two weeks in order to help her recover from major surgery. The Old Rectory is a fine old building with beautiful grounds, decorated and furnished to the highest standards with spacious common rooms and a very nice dining room. Residents' rooms are comfortable
and of good size. My wife's care, even through the nights, was excellent and she came home in much better health. The Manager and her staff couldn't have been more helpful.
The food, eaten in your room or in the dining room, was also top quality.

Thank you for your kind words, it's always refreshing to hear such a nice review and I will let all the staff read your comments.

I am so pleased that my mother is in a brilliant care home. My mother is 93 and extremely belligerent. She lived with me for 1 month, it was a month of hell for me. We had looked at several care homes in the area but The Rectory was the only one that my mother and I were/are completely happy with.
There
is only one problem my mother has an oesophageal pouch which means that she requires food to be liquidised. Occasionally some of the chefs don't do this.
I can't recommend The Rectory care home too much.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for The Old Rectory Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.960 for The Old Rectory Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (413 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 430 Ratings = 4.96

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Rectory Care Home is based on 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 36 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.
