About The Old Vicarage
The Old Vicarage is a residential care home set among the gentle countryside of Herefordshire, a county known for its peaceful landscapes and close-knit communities. For families exploring care options, finding a place that feels like a true home rather than an institution matters enormously, and the rural setting here offers a calm and unhurried backdrop to daily life. The team at The Old Vicarage aims to provide a warm and familiar environment where residents can feel comfortable and cared for.
The Old Vicarage provides residential care and personal support for up to 16 older people, including those living with dementia. At inspection, 13 people were using the service.
People and their relatives reported feeling safe and expressed positive views about their care. However, inspectors identified gaps in how risks to people's health and wellbeing were managed. Infection prevention and control practices were not consistently implemented, and medicines were not always handled safely, raising concerns about people's overall safety and wellbeing at the home.
