About The Old Vicarage
Here at The Old Vicarage in Deal, Kent, we offer residential care for older people, those living with dementia, younger adults, and people who need a short break through respite care. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine commitment our whole team brings to the people who live with us. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone walks through our door, whether for a visit or to begin their life with us, we want them to feel at ease. Our aim is simply to make sure that every person in our care feels comfortable, respected, and at home. Dementia care sits at the heart of much of what we do, and we work hard to ensure that the environment and the support we provide are genuinely suited to the needs of people living with the condition. We take time to get to know each resident as an individual, understanding their history, their preferences, and the things that matter most to them, so that care can be tailored around real life rather than a one size fits all approach. For those who come to us for respite, we offer the same warmth and attention as we do for our long term residents. A short stay should still feel settled and supportive, both for the person in our care and for the family members who may need a rest themselves. We are part of the Deal community, and that local connection matters to us. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, we would be very happy to hear from you.
