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.

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.
A lovely welcome by all staff at The Old Rectory, well-organised hog roast to satisfy a large number of guests at the local airshow. A great event yet again, well done.

Thank you for your kind review. The garden party was a huge success as usual and it was so nice to see you here with your mom and all her family around her.
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...
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.
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 have peace of mind knowing Mum is in a safe place in lovely surroundings cared for by kind staff.

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.
Thank you to you and your family for all the lovely words. Although her time here was short we truly cared for her and you as a family. The whole team were privileged to care for her.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
Thank you for your kind review, Mum and your family are very much still in our thoughts. It was a pleasure caring for her. I will pass on this review to the team, they will be very appreciative of the review knowing your thoughts.

Thank you for the lovely review. Your friend has settled in well and is thriving in their new environment. It is a pleasure to care for them.
The Old Rectory Care Home has been my mum's home since last October. I am so grateful to the staff and management for all their care and attention during this time. The food is exceptional. They have lots of lovely activities and the house itself is beautiful.

Thank you for your kind words, Pat, it's a pleasure to take care of your mom. We do try to give all of our residents and their families the nicest experience of living in a care home. I will pass this review on to the team.

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. It was a pleasure to care for your wife and meet you and your daughter. I hope she enjoyed the air show day before she left. I'm pleased to hear about her continuing progress and you are more than welcome to visit if you're in the area.
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...
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.

Thank you for the lovely comments. It is such a rewarding job and the staff take pride in the home and within their own personal role. They all care about every resident and will go the extra mile to ensure they enjoy their stay here and that friends and family can relax knowing this.

This is a lovely care home. The facilities, grounds, activities and food are all very good but it is the staff, from the top managers to the cleaners and cooks who are marvellous. Thank you for taking care of our lovely mother so well.

My dad is now accepting of being in care and is extremely well looked after, with all his needs considered; by all the staff. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff team supported my dad in this unexpected (and largely unwanted) phase of his life. Fiercely independent, the team have been able to subtly ensure that Dad engages with them to have his support needs met whilst maintaining and maximising his independence and not diminishing his pride. Staff at The Old Rectory Care have worked hard to make it easier for us as a family, and this was with the backdrop of covid and all the restrictions that they had to work through. We have nothing but praise and respect for the whole of the workforce, which includes the catering team, the housekeeping team, the administration team as well as the direct care staff.

My brother-in-law has been at the Rectory for several years and we are extremely grateful for the care and attention he has received. The home is excellent and the staff are amazing. During lockdown, they had to become family to all the residents and they kept us fully informed as to his progress. We have been allowed to visit but only in a safe way. The food is consistently good and the rooms are of a high standard. This is undoubtedly the best care home in the area, in our opinion and we would recommend it to anyone.
The management and staff always go the extra mile to make sure that my mum is happy and healthy. She always tells me how lovely the staff are and how good the food is. I don't have to worry about her at all because I know she is in their capable hands.

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.
