When arriving at the home I was greeted from the member of staff who came to the door with a smile and warmth and was asked if they could be of any help after she had introduced herself to me. All the staff were friendly, the residents I saw appeared happy and well looked after. The home was
decorated ready for Christmas and my friend was excited and looking forward to celebrating Christmas with her family at the home. She was also enjoying the Christmas activities which were very varied.

I cannot recommend this care home highly enough. They look after my mum, who is in her 50s and has very complex needs, with exceptional care and compassion. The staff manage her behaviours incredibly well and always ensure she receives the care and support she needs.
I was my mum's sole carer for a
long time, so handing over her care to a full-time service was absolutely heartbreaking. However, the team have made this transition so much easier than I ever thought possible. They have taken away so much stress and worry, and I have complete confidence that my mum is safe, supported, and truly cared for.

Always warm friendly & welcoming upon arrival. Even though they are busy they still make time to see if everything is ok when you enter the building.
Staff are helpful and very caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Manager is very approachable and never fails to acknowledge.
Food always
smells good when walking passed the kitchen & on the whole the food looks good.
Most times when visiting there appears to be singers and some form of entertainment to keep the residents occupied.
Would definitely recommend

My wife has been in residence in The Old Vicarage nursing home for about 18 months. She quickly settled in. She suffers with dementia and has no conversation. She does 'talk' a lot but it is not possible to understand what she is trying to say - but she does react very well to all the staff. I
cannot praise them enough for all the care they show her. She has always been interested in singing and joined choirs wherever we have lived. She really enjoys the many singing activities which the home provides.

All care and assistance is excellent. The staff all understand my husbands condition and tolerate his mood changes.

The staff are very caring and my mother appears to be happy with her carers, who are working to meet all of her needs. The cook is very friendly and came to apologise to my mother when the food that she'd requested was unavailable. The medical staff have been very good at keeping us informed and
along with the other staff caring for us as well.
The building is old and repairs are being carried out on it. The lift is old and not always working.

My elderly mother in law is treated with respect and care. The staff are really good with her and give her agency to make decisions. She is comfortable and generally contented. The support we have as relatives from medical staff, particularly nursing staff is excellent. The carers are lovely.

Excellent, everything a resident staying there could need. My wife is comfortable and happy.
04 July 2025
I find the staff welcoming and informative each time I visit; they are friendly, and it makes one feel special. I can see that the needs of the residents are well looked after, and they take the time to have a conversation with them. A person's needs are catered for very well. The office staff keep
me informed as and when necessary. It is a friendly place with outside space for residents that is safe and secure and I would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

Our family received excellent support from all the team at the Old Vicarage when my parents required short-term respite care.
17 June 2025
The managers and staff at the Old Vicarage are fantastic and could not have done more to make the respite care stay welcoming and comfortable for my parents, even freshly redecorating a double room at short notice for them. It's been so reassuring to know that, during their stay, they have been
treated with high standards of care and friendliness. They have particularly enjoyed the lovely meals. Thank you - I'm very grateful.
05 June 2025
Staff extremely welcoming and very obliging. Amenities eg. hairdresser, nails polished very good. My sister has settled very well and appears to get on well with everyone. They have various activities, music being my sisters favourite, and this happens at various times in the month. It is a pleasure
to visit The Old Vicarage.

My dad was skin and bones when he arrived at The Old Vicarage. They nursed him back to health with good food, love & attention. Not a day goes by without him laughing and smiling with the staff. The whole building is clean & kept tidy. Staff have a lovely rapport with residents & their families.
There is entertainment on weekdays, and residents are moved around regularly to mix & socialise with one another. The staff & management are a fabulous team, they genuinely care about their residents.

My dad is adjusting to living here. The staff are all lovely and treat him in a dignified manner at all times. They always respond to any queries I have in a timely manner. My whole family is always made to feel welcome. The home provides lots of stimulating activities.

I honestly can't speak highly enough about the nursing home - everybody is very welcoming and friendly from the moment you enter the building until you are leaving. The staff are absolutely lovely towards my mum. The care and support my mum gets is amazing from the management team and all staff. The
cleanliness of my mum's room is always excellent.

A happy welcoming home. Friendly, helpful staff. I am kept informed by email and newsletter. My aunt is very well looked after and is happy with the home.
