Our dear friend was only at the Rectory for a short time for respite care before she passed away this week. She had no family to visit or grieve for her only us, and we will miss her very much.
We quickly realised how caring and compassionate the staff are and we are grateful for the care and help
she received.

Reply from Karyn Holmes, Shared registered manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thankyou for the kind words, although it was a short time, she passed away with people around her that cared for her and she had a peaceful passing.

I am very happy with all the care that I receive and the staff are very caring. If anything goes wrong it will always be put right. I always enjoy the food. There is always an alternative. The home is very warm and welcoming. The staff are very respectful and will always put themselves out especially
if you are ill. They act very quickly. All in all I am very happy with everything.

Everyone here is very kind and accommodating. I read a lot and regard this home as a nice respite. I am not demanding and do feel all my needs are being met. Considering the number of residents the food is very good. When I was admitted I would have liked a card in my room telling me what is expected
of me but otherwise I am very satisfied. Everyone tries hard.

The Old Rectory Care Home in Albrighton near Wolverhampton provides a high quality comfortable home for my aged mother. She is well cared for, content and certainly well fed. The Home provides a variety of activities which my mother joins in and appears to enjoy which enables her to mix with the
other residents including some excursions outside the Home. The welcome from all employed within the Home is very warm from Reception to all the carers, managers and all other staff who seem to know my name better than I am able to recall all their names.
My mother has a full and carefully prepared Care Plan which seems to cover all aspects that are required for her, well developed, well thought out and used on a day to day basis to ensure her comfort and enjoyable time during her now lengthy residence at Old Rectory Care Home. I'd be more than happy to recommend any family looking for a Care Home to use the fine care offering at this Care Home.

Reply from Philippa Turner, Manager at The Old Rectory Care Home

Thank you for the lovely review, your mother is a pleasure to look after. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

My mother has been a resident in The Old Rectory for about 6 years. It really is the most wonderful place. My Mum has mild dementia but is treated with dignity and respect. All the carers seem to be genuinely fond of Mum. The rooms and en suite bathroom are always spotless, there are never any undesirable
smells ! The food is great and my Mum who was underweight when she arrived here is now a healthy weight. She is not left in her room all day but encouraged to join in the many activities that take place. She is taken out on trips for shopping, to the garden centre and even bowling !
All in all I am more than happy with the care that my mother receives.

Arrived at the home in a sad state. I was greeted by instant help and kindness from all the staff. This has continued right up until today. Great care has been shown by one and all and nothing has been too much trouble whether it be night or day. I never knew that care homes could be so kind and generous
in their looking after patients and, all our queries get sorted out efficiently and kindly. I intend to stay at this home for as long as possible.

I have now been a resident in The Old Rectory Care Home for three months. All the staff have made me welcome, my room is very pleasant and the food is very good with helpful understanding regarding my dietary requirements. Most days there are activities arranged in the very pleasant lounges, also outings
to do some shopping or visit a garden centre. Altogether, all one could wish for in a care home.

I have been visiting my friend regularly and often had lunch with her since she was admitted towards the end of November. I attended their New Years Eve party which was excellent with a buffet and music. The home has a lovely atmosphere, the staff and management are always welcoming and friendly. Nothing
is too much trouble. There is always activities going on every day. My friend has settled well. She went in for respite but has now decided to stay. The home is warm and clean, bright and cheerful. I love visiting her at The Rectory.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

In 2016, my younger brother suffered a massive stroke at the age of 67. He has no speech and has hardly any mobility on the right side of his body. He has been a resident at The Old Rectory for over eight years. The care he receives is of a consistently very high standard. The staff are always friendly
and are always encouraging him to participate in the many activities that are available. The fact that he rarely joins in is due to his immobility and inability to communicate. They chat to him and tease him on many occasions. His room is pleasant and spotlessly clean. The food is of a very high standard. As a family, we are more than satisfied with the care he receives.

Reply from Philippa Turner, Director at The Old Rectory Care Home

A lovely care home with a family environment feel. All staff have genuine care for residents and extended family. Residents are encouraged to attend weekly activities and trips. The church next door welcomes all residents for the church service. At prominent times of the year family and friends are
invited to attend events such as the RAF Cosford airshow garden party. The Old Rectory Care Home is truly a place where we are happy and content as a family where our mother is cared for and looked after.

What can I say about this place - my mum-in-law stayed at The Old Rectory Care Home for 4 months. She was given so much wonderful care and love by the staff during this time and as a family, it was so reassuring to know she was in the best hands during this period of her life. We would recommend this
care home without exception.

Father-in-law has been a resident for two years and has been treated with dignity and respect. Today the home has hosted a friends and family day with RAF flying overhead. It was such a delightful day with us gaining a real understanding of the interactions and relationships the whole team have with
the residents, it was a pure joy.

I asked my mum 'What do you like about The Old Rectory Care Home' Her reply summed it up, she said 'What's not to like'. They tend to my every need with care and kindness. This is the best home to be in! We agree with her. The staff and management are very professional and above all, treat us like their
own family. What more can you ask for! They're the best.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for The Old Rectory Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.950 for The Old Rectory Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.95

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Rectory Care Home is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
