About The Old Vicarage Residential Care Home

The Old Vicarage Residential Care Home brings a sense of warmth and homeliness to the East Riding of Yorkshire, offering families the reassurance that comes with a Good CQC rating. With its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to providing attentive, personalised care, it can be a comforting place for loved ones to call home. Families considering care in this part of Yorkshire will find a team that genuinely strives to make every resident feel valued and at ease.

The Old Vicarage provides personal care and accommodation to up to 33 people living with sensory impairments, physical disabilities, or dementia. At inspection, 26 people were using the service.

The provider has actively worked to improve the service and people's experiences. However, further time is needed for the governance and oversight measures that have been implemented to become fully embedded and effective. Infection prevention and control processes relating to both practice and the environment do not consistently align with best practice guidance and require additional development.
