The home provides an environment which is almost like a home from home. My mother feels in a very safe and caring environment. Well done to everyone at The Old Rectory.
My mother came to The Old Rectory Care Home almost 3 years ago with Parkinson's, needing 24hour care. She loved her own home and was sad to lose her independence.

My mother came to The Old Rectory Care Home almost 3 years ago with Parkinson's, needing 24hour care. She loved her own home and was sad to lose her independence. In no time at all, the smiles, the safe, respectful and gentle care she received made her feel much-loved and happy. Mum made genuine, loving friendships; they laughed and cried together through the hardest of times. Mum became utterly dependent. The gentle care she received helped her to maintain her dignity right through to her last moments and being laid to rest. I cannot express my gratitude for the professional care and love my mum received during some of the most challenging and yet happiest days of her life. The beautiful house and grounds were scrupulously clean; the food delicious and plentiful. The manager is exceptional - listening to our fears and concerns, she actively sought to help my mother. The carers are equally exceptional, they have integrity, skills and the commitment to do their best. I know they welcome and learn from regular training. At the end of mum's life, their care for me personally made the impossible bearable. I remain forever grateful to each one.
My aunt has been a resident here for almost 4 years. She is extremely well cared for and is very happy. The ambience of the whole place is that of a Four star hotel with beautiful furnishings and white table linen and fresh flowers on the tables in the dining room. The food is excellent and we...
The Old Rectory Care Home is just excellent.....I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Could not fault service for two years of care for my wife. Staff happy, food good. It's like a country hotel. Also used myself for respite this year.

A very welcoming, clean, well-maintained home, with caring considerate, and friendly staff who put the resident's welfare first. Food is excellent, as are the varied activities.

I am made very welcome as I sign in by both the receptionist and any passing nurses or carers. Mum is usually in the dining room when I arrive where all her needs - physical and dietary requirements - are met. The rooms are maintained to a very high standard where residents are able to put their personal touches to make it seem like home. Carers arrive quickly, treating mum in a sensitive and caring fashion. The manager and her family are very hands-on, ensuring a large family environment.
Impressed with all aspects of the Old Rectory Care Home and please to entrust them with my mother's care.

Every time I visit my friend it's always the same. Spotlessly clean. Always friendly staff and the residents love it there. Great sitting in the garden on good days. Meeting other residents. Good taking my little dog too. If I ever need care in my older age I would love to be in here.

My brother suffered a severe stroke in march 2016 and after spending many weeks in hospital he was moved to The Old Rectory Care Home on May 18th, 2016. The family spent considerable time visiting various nursing homes in both Staffordshire and Shropshire and after receiving a number of excellent recommendations we chose The Old Rectory. The staff have been extremely caring and understanding to my brother's situation and it was a great relief to the family to see that he quickly settled to his new environment without fuss. Despite having no speech or use of his right arm or leg, he is having encouraging results.
I have always found the home to be run very professionally and the care by the majority of carers as excellent with nothing being too much trouble.

The manager and her staff have been a revelation to us all. My mother-in-law had spent eight months in another home which was more expensive she never felt settled or safe neither did we. The past twelve months at the rectory have been wonderful. She is happy stimulated and feels so safe and cared for. This is her home and we cannot praise it highly enough. The care is exemplary the staff are so patient and kind, nothing is too much trouble. The food is fabulous, cleaning standards excellent. The décor furnishings and grounds are what we would expect in a boutique country hotel. Thank you all we only have praise for this wonderful home.

We cannot thank the excellent staff enough for their kindness and consideration that they show her.

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.
