The Old Vicarage has been an absolutely wonderful place for Mum to live. Mum went from living alone to a home where she made new friends and lived in beautiful surroundings. Mum was initially able to get around and enjoy the activities and facilities but as she became less mobile, the staff at the
Old Vicarage was able to continue to make it feel like home for Mum. I spent many hours visiting Mum on my trips home and was always so impressed at the love and care given to all the residents; how welcoming everyone was to me; and the high expectations of those running the care home, as well as their involvement with the residents. Mum loved the food and I joined her for some meals which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Old Vicarage staff members truly care for the residents, their family and friends. It is hard to convey in words our gratitude for the all that this precious care home has done for Mum.

Mum spent the last three years of her life at the Old Vicarage and we have found the level of care excellent throughout.
She enjoyed the communal areas and the organised activities, particularly anything involving music, which was her main interest throughout her life.
In her latter months after
a decline in her health, the level of attentiveness and care was second to none and the care home and all the carers could not of done more.

I saw that my mother was treated very well and included in as many activities as possible even as her condition worsened. The level of care right until her death was excellent and they treated me with kindness and respect at all times but especially as she was dying. She died with dignity in a
beautiful and peaceful home. A beautiful garden full of flowers and wildlife was a joy to see through her window.

My family and I are very grateful to the staff at The Old Vicarage Care home for the outstanding care they gave our mum in her last 3 months of life. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found the Old Vicarage amongst the myriad of other care homes available. The staff were very welcoming
and helpful from the outset and we knew instantly that it was the perfect 'home from home' for our mum. The environment & building itself are spotlessly clean and welcoming, with numerous rooms overlooking the immaculate large gardens. The residents are clearly happy, with an emphasis on supported independence where possible, but with the individualised care and compassion that is also needed.
Mum was happy and content, each day being client-centred with flexibility and choice in all aspects of care and her daily routine. With close links with with an excellent local GP Practice and District Nursing Team the staff were able to support mum, and the family throughout her time there. Thank you.

I am so impressed with the care my mum received in her final months at The Old Vicarage. The staff were fantastic not only did they support mum so well but they all supported our family members with the very difficult time we were going through. They went above and beyond for my mum and treated her
with dignity and respect. My mum was very happy at The Old Vicarage, which gave us great comfort. I can't thank them enough for everything they've done and as a family we will be forever grateful.

The Old Vicarage provides outstanding care in the most beautiful environment. Without exception, everyone we have come into contact with has been caring and supportive with a genuine desire to provide the best experience for both me and my mother.
Mum particularly appreciates the range of
activities on offer, along with the home cooked food. Residents are encouraged to help with gardening and taken on local outings. Mum has been able to maintain links with her home village which has made the transition easier for her.
I have total confidence in the care Mum is receiving; this is certainly not what I imagined a care environment to be like. I am beyond grateful for the exceptional support given to both Mum and me.

Cannot thank The Old Vicarage team enough for the Care they give my Mother, she has gone from a lonely person in her own home, to joining in with many activities, knitting again, and singing with the residents. She is always saying she loves the food and all the staff are lovely. When we visit
weekly we find everyone very friendly and caring.
08 April 2025
I am so impressed with the care my mum received at The Old Vicarage. The staff were so lovely and supportive of my mum's needs, and she was treated with dignity, respect and as an individual, and this was reflected by how happy my mum was there. I cannot thank the staff enough, as it was such a
relief to the family to know she was being so well looked after, safe and was comfortable. Thank you.
05 December 2024
I cannot express how much the last two weeks spent in The Old Vicarage Care Home have helped me get over my recent hip replacement and several years of extremely stressful events. The wonderful staff at all times have been a joy to meet, chat to and experience their help in every way. The whole team
has surrounded me with warmth, friendship and extreme care. The surroundings both inside and out are beautiful and so well cared for and maintained, therefore all in all I feel compelled to write this tribute.

Having visited a lot and directly experienced two care homes in Somerset I can say The Old Vicarage is a wonderful establishment with a truly amazing staff who looked after our father better than I could ever have hoped. They really went out of their way to make him comfortable and tried hard to
involve him in the life of the home. I was really impressed with the range of activities on offer and the proactive way they were presented. The building and gardens are also beautiful and it is generally a very peaceful and pleasant environment. I can't recommend it highly enough!
04 September 2024
The Old Vicarage team provided my father with excellent care through to the end of his life. They were kind and supportive to me and the family, making a difficult time more bearable, and always took time to talk and update us. The home has a happy, relaxed feel of a family home. It was always clean
and fresh and tea was always available! The garden is a wonderful haven of peacefulness to wander around and sit in. I cannot praise the staff enough for their kind, caring approach and their good humour.
14 May 2024
My respite stay at The Old Vicarage has been very enjoyable. The staff are first class, the facilities are second to none, the residents friendly, food good and so I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely place whether as a resident or respite care. Also, the house and grounds around are
beautiful.
09 May 2024
From the very start of Mum's stay we were impressed at how kind and caring everyone was. Every need was met and we felt that she was safe and very cared for so this gave us peace of mind. Mum was happy and said it was like being in a 5-star hotel!
Overall we have been very pleased with the care
received.
Thank you Old Vicarage.
18 April 2024
Since I arrived three months ago I have always felt safe and well cared for. I was welcomed with kindness and courtesy even when I had to call for help four or five times during the night. I am impressed with the atmosphere here amongst the staff themselves, there is much laughter and seem to work
really well together and respect each other. I don't see this home as an institution but as a community of care. I'm grateful too for the way in which my family and friends are always made welcome. I am happy here.
26 March 2024
I stayed at The Old Vicarage for one week of respite care. I had been in hospital with a broken ankle. I loved my stay there; the carers were consistently happy and loving, so that I felt very cared for. The management made sure that everything was in order and the food was beautifully prepared with
plenty of variety - especially the fresh fruit. Each day there were interesting activities in the lounge with enthusiastic participation. The gardens are particularly beautiful, with places to sit and walk around. Visitors were made very welcome.
26 February 2024
I can't speak highly enough about the excellent, caring treatment I received here during the four weeks I spent here after having three weeks in hospital with a nasty infection.
I was nursed back to full health, put on weight, all thanks to the excellent, kind staff, always cheerful and willing to
help, nothing was too much trouble, they were all marvellous.

The Old Vicarage is in a wonderful location, has well-maintained grounds, daily activities are organised for the residents, the home is spotlessly clean and the food is of an excellent standard.
Dad has been a resident at The Old Vicarage for a year. He is very happy there and feels safe and well
looked after, which is all down to the care, support and dedication of the lovely, friendly staff.
Dad recently celebrated his 100th birthday and the staff could not have done more to help us make his day so very special.
Our family take huge comfort from knowing Dad is so well looked after.
23 August 2023
I would strongly recommend this accommodation (namely The Old Vicarage Care Home) for anyone to be cared for and also the cleanliness of the accommodation, long may it reign. I was most impressed and certainly would stay again, it would be my choice.
27 July 2023
Had a wonderful convalescence here. My room was comfortable and had a lovely view of the garden. The food was great and I could eat in my room or go to the dining room. Various activities were offered in the afternoon. Some inside and some outdoor activities.
15 July 2023
My father has been in The Old Vicarage for 18 months and I have nothing but praise and respect for all the staff. They take really good care of him and if you can't stay in your own home this is a very caring and safe place to be.
I and the rest of the family were relieved that Dad soon settled in,
and his ground floor room overlooks the beautiful garden which is accessible by wheelchair. This summer he has loved seeing the lavender blooming in the beds near the patio.
We are always warmly welcomed and kept informed and up to date with any health issues.
In my opinion The Old Vicarage is the very best residential option for Dad and we were lucky to find it.
