The Old Vicarage / Home

Your private room
The home has 38 single bedrooms and 1 twin bedroom all over 12 square meters in size, and of which 23 have en-suite toilets.

For two clients who prefer to share, your two rooms may be converted to a suite of a sitting room and twin bedroom.

If you prefer, you may bring your own furniture (subject to fire regulations). Bringing your own personal possessions is encouraged, so that you live in surroundings with which you are familiar and comfortable.

Social rooms to enjoy
All of the communal rooms are very comfortable and furnished to a high standard.

You may choose between six lounges; four on the ground floor and two on the first floor. Depending on whether you wish to read, listen to music, watch TV, take part in activities or you may wish to enjoy the gardens whilst having a chat to other residents.

You will be encouraged to use these rooms. However, if you choose to stay in your bedroom you are welcome to do so.

Your relatives and visitors are welcome
Your relatives and friends are encouraged to vis-it regularly and maintain contact by letter or tele-phone when visiting is not possible. In these cas-es, staff will offer to assist you where help may be needed.
Visitors will be welcomed at all reasonable times but are advised to avoid meal times, unless they are dining with you. They are also encouraged to attend the various parties and functions held throughout the course of the year.

Your participation is encouraged
We welcome your involvement in decision-making regarding the running of your home. The Home Manager and care team will regularly consult with you about new ideas and consider your comments.
We hold regular resident meetings to discuss anything and everything that goes on at the home. You will decide the agenda and can discuss any matters concerning the running of the home or other subjects of general interest. Your family and close friends are invited to participate. A newsletter is produced by the Home Manager in between the meetings to keep you up to date.

Come and look around
The Home Manager will welcome the opportunity to show you and your family around The Old Vicarage. You are welcome at any time to come and see for yourself what we have to offer, however a prior appointment is best to ensure that the Home Manager is able to allocate you the time you deserve.
