We absolutely cannot fault The Old Rectory. Mum in Law has been so much happier since living there and has now been a resident for just over a year. Her health and wellbeing continue to be good, and she has made many friends. The staff are Wonderful and very supportive and as a family we know that
Mum is safe and cared for. The Old Rectory is a busy home and there are always activities for residents to join in with. We feel reassured by the photos posted on social media too and it's lovely to see Mum so happy.

My mum receives excellent care. The staff make the home so friendly and welcoming to the residents family and visitors. I feel very reassured that my mum is safe and looked after. The activities are the best around.

When I visit over the last 2 years I have always found the staff very good and welcoming and I have always found my brother very comfortable.
19 December 2025
I have only visited a couple of times and always made to feel welcome.
The accommodation is always clean, and friendly atmosphere about the place. Kept informed if they have any concerns.

5-Star Review - The Old Rectory Care Home
Seeing my Nan flourish again has been one of the greatest joys for our family, and it's all thanks to the incredible team at The Old Rectory. Before moving here, she often seemed lost and withdrawn, but now it's as if she's ten years younger. She's back to
her fun, lively self-dancing, chatting, laughing, and getting involved with everything going on around her.
The transformation has been truly amazing. The staff have shown such genuine care, patience, and dedication, and it's clear they've taken the time to understand what she needs to feel happy and confident again. She absolutely adores them, and we can see why-they've created a warm, safe, and joyful environment where she feels valued and supported.
We can't thank The Old Rectory enough for giving our Nan her spark back. It means the world to us. Highly, highly recommend.

From the first day my father moved into The Old Rectory, we felt the warmth from all the staff and we felt my dad would be and is very happy and looked after by all the staff, that always, try and meet all his needs and he never complains about his good and always finishes it. A thank you to all the
staff for making my dad safe.

We are very impressed with the care you give at this home. It is really lovely that we are able to see things that Mum has been doing on social media, especially as we live so far away and can only visit occasionally. It is a lovely home, and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

My partner, with Alzheimers is incarcerated in this place. He wanted to leave months ago as the agreement to carry out rehab after a fall has not taken place and he is now far worse than when he went in and is unable to walk out. Very upsetting for all concerned.

The Old Rectory at Stickney, Lincs, has been caring for my mother, for the better part of three years. It has been a tough time for as she slides further into dementia and a loss of mobility. Over the last 12 to 18 months, this care home has in my opinion, gone from average to very good care. The
staff are delightful, and seem to be far happier now, than they were a couple of years ago. The residents now have a wide range of activities to partake in, much more than previously. The fabric of the building and fitments, are steadily improved or renewed. The staff are always very polite and friendly to visitors, which really helps at times when visits are difficult. My mother is far happier than previously, and always praises the staff to us. I wasnt sure previously if the Old Rectory was the best fit for her. However since the change of managemwnt, i am convinced now that it is indeed the best place for her care.

Cannot fault the care they are giving my mum, I am kept informed, I am made to feel welcomed. My mum is happy and joins in with activities. Its lovely to keep up with whats going on on their social media page aswell. Really pleased with the care my mum is recieving.
08 April 2025
Since the appointment of the previous and current manager the home has improved considerably. There are more activities for the residents and the whole attitude of the staff has improved. A few flowers around has made a difference. More physical exercise would be good for all the residents such as
walks around the village. The resident does not give as much input.
27 March 2025
Very nice care home, lovely, polite and helpful staff. Home from home for my stepmum. Nothing too much trouble. Also good activities for the residents.
03 March 2025
Overall the staff are very friendly, caring and kind but often under pressure due to staff shortages.
Understandably, the property is very old and a bit dated but some of the rooms could do with some maintenance.

We cannot fault The Old Rectory and the care that mum is getting. Mum's health and well being have improved hugely in the short time that she has been a resident. The staff are wonderful, and are so supportive of mum's needs, but also of us her family. The manager has been absolutely brilliant, and
so helpful, and we are always made to feel welcome when we visit. The home is warm, cosy and friendly, clean and tidy. There are always activities for residents to join in with which mum absolutely loves, and she is also enjoying the social interactions with the other residents and staff. We feel reassured as a family that mum is in the best hands and mum is the happiest she has been for a long time.

Very friendly staff, the care home is always clean. Mum is a vegetarian, no meat or fish. The kitchen sometimes struggles with this, there will be many more vegetarians and vegans in the future. So please no more sausage rolls, Mum will not eat them.
13 June 2024
I have always found the staff to be helpful and caring. During my mother's palliative care I could not have wished for more and the dignity at the end was outstanding. The management had improved dramatically over recent months and staff were more 'visable'. There seemed to be a better structure to
everything. I'm never sure why residential homes find it necessary to sit residents around the walls. How can there be easy interaction with each other, other than meal times.
14 May 2024
Excellent and caring staff, all very pleasant and helpful.
22 January 2024
Home in period of change without registered manager, senior and regular carers dismissive of resident's needs and critical of resident's attitude and behaviour. Room sub-standard, unattractive, uninspiring, boring, comfortless. Safety issues - foot between mattress and (essential) bed rails.
No
call bell accessible to resident.
Staff have duty of care no matter how "difficult" resident perceived to be. Resident unkempt, unhappy, said feels "unloved and disliked."
Distressing visit. Trust new manager will recognise and address issues, more details if required.

My sister-in-law came to this care home firstly as a respite patient as she lived with us to give us a break. She has Cerebral Palsy and needs a special kind of care and attention. Her brother and I found it too difficult and had to make the awful decision to place her in care full-time. It is the
most amazing place for her to be where the staff from the cleaners upwards are so caring competent and kind. Hats off to the Manager!
05 December 2022
The carers were very good and patient with a very difficult resident, my daughter. She has lots of problems, not least her mental state along with chronic pain and a very quick temper. She is difficult to manage when she loses her temper and becomes aggressive. The staff at Stickney did all they
could to contain and help her. I am truly grateful for their help and patience with her. Also, their kindness and care for me was wonderful. Thank you all and please accept my sincere apologies for her behaviour. Thanks for getting the right help she so obviously needed. There are some ratings I cannot tick as I don't know. I didn't come into contact with the manager for many minutes, so can't comment.
