"Rectory House treat with care all who stay there, all are treated with respect. They provide good food, if needed special diets and vegetarian. The jobs are very challenging.

I find staff take the people out, and also have someone who calls in with owls." - Kathleen G

They truly made the last precious weeks and days special and carried out our wishes until and after her death, when her own nurse dressed her to our instructions." - Neville W

"Mum was in this care home (Sept 09-Aug 10) and I can honestly say she was well looked after. She had a lovely clean room. The staff were all so kind to Mum who suffered with Alzheimer's. Visitors were always made to feel welcome. Mum was always helped to join in with activities and loved the music sessions. There was never an unpleasant smell in the home. Since mum's death my dad still visits this home frequently to help with activities and to visit residents... carehomes.co.uk" - Jan W
