Thank you so much for looking after our very precious dad. We love The Old Rectory Care Home. We always get a lovely warm greeting when we arrive. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We are kept informed if there are any concerns about Dad and the doctor who has visited has been very thorough.
The home is kept very clean and always smells lovely. The dining room is so lovely and there is a great choice of food. It is easier to say goodbye to Dad, knowing that he is safe and his needs are being met. Thank you.

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.

We had to move my mother into a care home very quickly in September 2021. As soon as we looked around The Old Rectory Care Home, we knew it was the place for mum. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are outstanding. Mum settled in very quickly, due to the kindness and thoughtfulness of the staff.
We feel that she is looked after very well and is in a safe environment. The home communicates in a very efficient manner. We are lucky that we found such a wonderful home for her.

My mother has been a resident since August 2021. Following a stroke and a fall some months later we felt unable to give mum the care she needed. My sister and I looked around a few care homes and decided that The Rectory was the best fit for mum. She has a lovely room with en-suite facilities. There
is a two week getting to know one another period for both the resident and staff to see if all is well. Thankfully my mum fitted in very well. Even though she had another fall on the second day the staff were very caring and efficient and after a brief stay in hospital soon returned to the Rectory. During the covid restrictions, the staff went above and beyond in helping me visit mum. I became an essential carer as mum has difficulty speaking after her stroke. The telephone or tablet communication just wouldn’t work for her, although this was offered. Nobody wants to go into a care home but, if I had to, this is the one I would choose!

My mother has been at The Old Rectory Care Home for over 10 years. She was one of the first residents. Thanks to the exceptional care, love and support that is given to all residents, she spent her last years in a happy and comfortable home. She passed away at the home on May 5th, with her family at
her side. We couldn’t have been treated with more respect and thoughtfulness through a few days that were very difficult. Mum was given every comfort and dignity by staff who go above and beyond, every day. I cannot recommend this wonderful home more highly.

It’s been just over a week since our amazing mum was welcomed into this most exceptional home. The immediate warmth of the greeting we received, the immaculate peaceful surroundings and the cleanliness was so apparent. The sincerity and kindness of the owner, managers and all the staff put us at ease,
they are attentive polite and genuinely caring and this has continued with respect, sensitivity and exemplary care delivery. Mum's individual holistic needs have been assessed and discussed with emphasis on her own choices. Small goals are gently encouraged. The food is not just nutritionally balanced it is absolutely delicious! As a result, mum is starting to gain her strength and confidence back. Communication is so vital and our stress, worries & sleepless nights are eliminated, as we know mum is in safe hands. In such a short period of time our brave mum has been embraced as part of The Old Rectory Care Home family she is content and peaceful, she’s safe loved and cared for beyond words. Thank you all.

My grandmother has lived at The Rectory since September 2012, when she turned 90. She made the choice herself, after looking at various options, as to where she wanted to move to. All our family agree that she made an excellent choice. As her needs have changed the Rectory has been able to adapt to
her personal requirements and my grandmother continues to feel content and comfortable. The Rectory has the relaxed feeling of your own home but with all the attributes of first-class care and assistance, all hours of the day and night. My grandmother has made many friends with other residents and with members of staff and been able to enjoy a variety of activities at the Rectory. Over the years our family have been able to share an excellent meal with our grandmother and spend time walking in the grounds with her. Visitors have always been made welcome although more recently visits have necessarily been constrained to fit within the restraints of Covid-19 precautions.

My mother moved to the Old Rectory Care Home in April 2020 at the start of lockdown. It was a decision that had to be taken in the most difficult circumstances but has been made so much easier thanks to the care and understanding shown by the manager and staff from the very first phone call.
Due
to Covid, we were reliant on staff getting to know mum and meet her needs physically, socially and emotionally and we have appreciated very open communication as and when needed. Mum speaks highly of all the staff and they relate to her with warmth, care and humour alongside a very professional approach.
The Old Rectory has a very welcoming ethos and feels more like a hotel than a care home. We couldn't have found a better place for Mum to be cared for during this year of such change and uncertainty and are so grateful for all that the staff have done to make her feel at home. We hope that soon we will be able to enjoy all that The Old Rectory can offer in more normal circumstances.

Our Mother has been a resident at The Old Rectory for over 18-months and has been very well looked after providing excellent care and also very good activities. During the pandemic, they have maintained a very safe environment dedicated to the care of the residents, which is greatly appreciated. On
top of the excellent care provided, the facilities are also excellent as the home is in lovely grounds overlooking fields with lots of wildlife to watch. They also have a small vegetable garden, which the residents enjoy, and prior to the pandemic, had regular social events for families and friends.
As identified, you would not know it is a care home as it more resembles a retirement home or country hotel. The food is also top-notch, our mother enjoys it so much she has put some weight on, at 92, that’s not too bad.
I cannot recommend The Old Rectory highly enough for both the home and the staff, who are excellent. I am not aware of a better care home in the area.

In spite of hugely challenging issues caused by the pandemic, I have been immensely impressed by the entire staff group at The Old Rectory, their dedication and commitment to caring and protecting the residents are outstanding, I cannot speak highly enough of them and their dedication. Inevitably Christmas
presented additional challenges but my mother in law constantly remarked about the staff giving them a really good seasonal time, in spite of everything. Inevitably presents had to be quarantined; I had bought new trousers as a gift and the staff, tried them on her, after quarantining them, and then very kindly wrapped them in Christmas paper so that we did not have to go through quarantine again even though they were incredibly busy. They are a really exceptional staff group who provide outstanding care to residents and treating them as if they were their own relatives.

My Uncle, who lived alone, needed residential care after a period of hospitalisation in July 2019. As his niece, I had the task of researching and selecting a suitable care home. After visiting a couple of prospective homes, which did not fit my criteria, I was thrilled to learn the Old Rectory had
space. This is an exceptional establishment. The standard of care is outstanding and the Old Rectory has the feel of a country hotel rather than a care home. My uncle has made so many friends there and has been treated with the utmost dignity and respect. The manager and her staff are professional, hard working and patient. I would highly recommend this home. It is a wonderful place.

Outstanding care for our mother, who is extremely happy and settled. The 'end of life' care for our Father in November. was dealt with in a caring, sympathetic and professional manner - above and beyond.
Admin systems could be more updated, ie payment by direct debit facility - but this is not a reflection

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.
