Shameful from walking in to walking out, no interaction with clients whilst completing moving and handling tasks and transferring, the whole place smelt of stale urine, all staff chatting amongst themselves, chatting to residents visitors whilst hoisting a different resident, not one client in the living room had a drink with them, hadn't had a drink since breakfast (this was 11.30) no chair in bedroom, very undignified put a bib on a resident without even asking if she would like one or needed one, this lady has full capacity and certainly doesn't need a bib, no activities residents just sit round the edge of a sitting room with the tv blasting, there is nothing person centred about this place clearly dont know the meaning of respect and dignity

HELLO THERE, IM JUST DROPPING A LITTLE NOTE, DONT THINK ITS STRANGE I ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPITALS, LOL ELSE I CANT READ IT. MY MUM CAME TO STAY IN JUNE AS AN EMERGENCY RESPITE, COS I HAD A FUNNY TURN, IVE FOUND OUT SINCE ITS VERTIGO. THE OLD RECTORY, IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, THE STAFF ARE JUST FABULOUS, THEY CANT DO ENOUGH FOR YOU , AND THE CLIENTS. I WOULD NEVER SEND MY MUM ANYWHERE ELSE, ITS LIKE HEAVEN . MUM WAS IN ROOM 20 , SHES GOING BACK ON MONDAY 12THJULY 2021, TILL SUNDAY 25THJULY. MUM REALLY LIKED ROOM 20 , COS IT HAS A BIG TELLY LIKE SHE HAS AT HOME. ALL THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT, REALLY GOOD FOOD, AND LOVELY CHOICES. MOST PLACES YOU DONT GET A CHOICE. WHILE MUM WAS THERE SHE HAD AN ULCER IN HER MOUTH, THEY MADE MUM A CHEESE OMELETTE, MUM SAID IT WAS LIGHT AS A FEATHER, THE BEST OMELETTE SHED EVER HAD. HASNT STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT SINCE, LOL. IT GIVES ME A GREAT PIECE OF MIND, KNOWING MUM IS SOMEWHERE AS EXCELLENT AS THE OLD RECTORY. WE LIVE IN THE VILLAGE, SO ITS NOT TO FAR TO TRAVEL. I CANT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THE OLD RECTORY, IF YOU NEED RESPITE THEN PUT YOUR LOVED ONES IN THE SAME PLACE AS MY MUM GOES TO, YOUR LOVED ONES WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME. THEY DO LOTS OF ACTIVITIES, BUT AT PRESENT MUM HAS TO SELF ISOLATE, SO SHE CANT JOIN IN. MY MUMS QUITE REMARKABLE AT 98. SHE STILL KNITS , AND MAKES CHRISTMAS CARDS. LAST YEAR SHE MADE OVER 700 CHRISTMAS CARDS , FROM MARCH TILL DECEMBER 2020. WHICH I THINK IS QUITE AMAZING. THE OLD RECTORY, THE STAFF ARE ALL VERY FRIENDLY, NO MATTER WHO YOU CHAT TO, CANT DO ENOUGH FOR YOU. THERES A REAL CUTIE ON RECEPTION HIS NAME IS THOMAS, A REALLY LOVELY MAN, WHEN YOU MEET HIM, I WANTED TO BRING HIM HOME WITH MUM AND ME, LOL. CUTIE. MUM HAD A BATH TWICE, BUBBLES AS WELL, SHE LOVED IT, THEY WERE SO KIND TO LET HER HAVE BATHS, SHE LOVES THEM , WE JUST HAVE A SHOWER, WHICH SHE HATES. MUMS GOING AGAIN IN NOVEMBER FOR 13 DAYS TO THE OLD RECTORY. YOU CAN NEVER SAY TO MUCH ABOUT THE OLD RECTORY, I JUST LOVE THE PLACE AND SO DOES MUM. I HOPE EVERYBODY FINDS OUT ABOUT MUMS AND MY REVIEW, THEY DESERVE TO KNOW HOW BRILLIANT THEY ALL ARE. HIP HIP HORRAY TO YOU ALL. WE WILL SIGN OFF NOW, HOPE WE HAVENT SENT YOU TO SLEEP. BYE FOR NANCY AND JACKIE.
