“I have a very pleasant room. The view from my window would be hard to equal by many residential homes I am sure. The size of the room is very suitable for me to keep all my own bits and pieces plus the furnishings supplied by the management.”

“The standard and availability of care is excellent. I could not want anything better. I am so pleased that with help from your staff I am still able to keep walking.”

“Food is of good quality, plentiful and varied. No doubt it is difficult to produce meals for so many with varied appetites.”

“My mother has been with you at The Old Vicarage for nearly four years now and hopefully will celebrate her 101st birthday with you. I brought her to you straight from hospital and from the day she arrived she was made to feel welcome and we, the family, were amazed how she settled in so quickly. This was entirely due to the care and kindness given to her by the staff.”

“It is good for us to know that she is regularly checked on during the night and that someone is always there to call on when she needs help. Mum continues to tell me often how caring staff are, and also how she enjoys their company, the joking and the attention. The carers are very willing to accompany her on walks round the garden and down the road, as well as spend time with her having a chat. They are always friendly, pleasant, helpful and determined to make sure mum is happy.”

“ I feel the home is an ideal size, not too large and not too small, a friendly place for the residents to call their home”

“We want to write and say how satisfied we are with the care that mother is receiving from you and your staff. There is no doubt that she settled in very quickly and is much more contented and less frustrated than before. This reflects the care, attention and good company that she enjoys in the warm comfortable and relaxing surroundings of The Old Vicarage. She also appreciates the well-kept and interestingly planted garden and loves to sit outside when it is sunny. The garden is indeed a welcome bonus”

“We are delighted with the standard of care she has received. The management and staff have invariably been welcoming, friendly and willing to discuss her general well-being and particular needs.”

“I also appreciate the efforts made to provide mental stimulation with occasional quizzes and visits from the reminiscence lady. The Friday exercise sessions must be beneficial.”

“I have no hesitation in recommending The Old Vicarage to anyone considering a need for residential care.”
