About The Old Vicarage

We at The Old Vicarage are proud to offer warm, personalised residential care in a welcoming home nestled within the Nottingham area, serving families across Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands. Our home has been thoughtfully created to feel just that, a home, where every resident is known, valued, and supported to live life on their own terms. Set within the NG postcode area, The Old Vicarage benefits from a peaceful yet accessible location that combines the calm of a settled community with easy connections for visiting family and friends. The character of the building lends a comforting, familiar atmosphere, whilst communal spaces and private rooms are arranged to promote both companionship and quiet reflection. It is the kind of setting where residents can feel truly at ease, whether enjoying company in shared lounges or spending peaceful moments in their own space. Our care is shaped around the individual, and we support adults with a broad range of needs. Alongside residential care, we specialise in supporting people with learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also welcome younger adults, recognising that person centred care means understanding each resident's life stage, aspirations, and personal history. For families needing shorter term support, our respite care offers a trusted, reassuring option, whether following a hospital stay, during a family holiday, or simply to give a loved one the chance to enjoy a change of routine in a supportive environment. In practice, this means our team takes time to understand what matters most to each person, from daily preferences and communication styles to hobbies, faith, culture, and relationships. We work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and advocates to ensure care plans reflect genuine individuality. For residents with sensory impairments or complex needs, our approach centres on clear communication, dignity, and empowerment, helping each person to remain as independent as possible whilst knowing that skilled support is always close at hand. The Old Vicarage has been rated Good by the Care Quality Commission across every area assessed, including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led, following inspection. This consistent rating reflects the values we hold dear: keeping people safe, delivering effective and evidence informed care, treating every resident with kindness and respect, responding to changing needs with sensitivity, and maintaining strong, thoughtful leadership throughout the home. For families, a Good rating across the board offers meaningful reassurance that the care their loved one receives meets the standards you would rightly expect. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the mix of emotions that comes with it. If you are considering residential or respite care in Nottingham or the surrounding Derbyshire area, we warmly invite you to get in touch with The Old Vicarage. We would be delighted to answer your questions, listen to your loved one's story, and help you explore whether our home could be the right place for the next chapter.
