Daddy has been living at The Old Vicarage Nursing Home since January 2023 and settled in straight away. The staff are all wonderful from carers, nurses, cooks, cleaners and laundry. They are a team of very experienced staff looking after my dad with patience and loving care. The cooks prepare good nutritious meals and cater well for my dad's diabetes. There are days they have activities, where he's made cakes and some lovely people brought animals which dad loved etc. It feels like home from home, very welcoming, friendly, calm and warm. They sit out in the gardens in summer to enjoy the birds and beautiful flowers. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Christmas they decorated the trees beautifully and had a fun-filled Christmas party for the residents. I couldn't have wished for a nicer home for Dad as the staff are all so kind. On fine days, I'm able to take Daddy out which we both love and they encourage this. Eternal gratitude to you all forever.

My mother was placed in the Old Vicarage in October 2020. I was the initiator of the choice mainly from an ex-staff member's recommendation and personal discussions with the owner. She was always ready to listen and answer important questions at a difficult time in my mother's life. With the owner, there is no waffle or sales pitch, as we have discovered she is a thoroughly honest and decent human being who seeks the best possible care and outcome for her residents. My mother entered the Old Vicarage with a number of physical and mental issues. Within two weeks we saw a marked change in mam, the home had removed her catheter and retrained her bladder. In addition, within weeks through physical and mental stimulation our mother steadily improved, this was solely down to the staff who spent time with her and always encouraged her to become more independent. The care and love shown to mam is remarkable. This care comes from the top.

My sister had MND. Old Vicarage was just the place she needed. She felt safe and loved in her last weeks of life. They made her last birthday a memorable one. The carers always treated her with dignity and patience. They also shared a joke or two. If there were any problems staff were happy to find a solution. The support of all the staff were extended to family and friends and I will never be able to thank them enough.

We chose the Old Vicarage after recommendations and personal visits. The staff - from top to bottom are caring and pleasant to deal with. The food is of a high quality and plentiful with regular entertainment provided. Security is good, car parking convenient and the garden is simple and accessible to residents. Tv's in every room, hairdressing and chiropody visit regularly. Happy with our choice.

What a great home. The staff are friendly, kind, sympathetic, approachable and treat all the residents with compassion and dignity. The choice of menu is great and if you wanted something else they will cook it for you, even family are offered food and drinks. They take residents, if they are able, out on day trips. They also put on activities and family days. The place is warm and welcoming and I would recommend this home to anyone.

My husband has been a resident at the Old Vicarage nursing home in Tonna since February 2014. He is treated with care and dignity. All of the staff are really caring and the choice of menu is very good. They will always make something for you. Families are offered a meal or refreshments. It is family owned and run and are a great support to me and my family. We would recommend it to anyone which I have and there is a waiting list to get in there so that speaks for itself.
