About The Old Vicarage
Here at The Old Vicarage, we are a residential care home nestled in Alfreton, Derbyshire, offering a warm and homely environment for the people we support. We specialise in residential care, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, and we also provide respite care for those who need a short break or temporary support. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our approach is straightforward: we listen, we get to know each person as an individual, and we build support around what matters to them. Everyone who lives with us or stays with us has their own story, their own preferences and their own way of living, and we work hard to make sure that is respected every single day. For those living with a learning disability or autism, familiarity and consistency matter enormously. We focus on creating a settled, predictable environment where people feel genuinely safe and understood. Routines are shaped around the individual rather than the convenience of the home, and our team takes time to understand how each person communicates and what helps them to thrive. Our respite offer means that families and carers can take a well earned break knowing their loved one is somewhere comfortable, familiar and well looked after. We aim to make respite stays feel as relaxed and enjoyable as possible, rather than simply a temporary arrangement. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our whole team puts into the care we provide each day. If you would like to find out more about The Old Vicarage or come and have a look around, we would love to hear from you.
