About Old Vicarage Care Home
We at Old Vicarage Care Home offer a warm welcome to older people seeking residential care in the heart of Worksop, Nottinghamshire. Our home provides thoughtful, person centred support for those looking for a permanent place to call home, as well as families needing shorter respite stays. Set within the familiar surroundings of Worksop, our home benefits from its position in this well established market town in the East Midlands. Residents enjoy the reassurance of being close to local amenities, community life, and the wider Nottinghamshire countryside, whilst friends and family can visit easily without long journeys. The character of the property lends itself to a homely atmosphere, where residents can settle into daily routines that feel comfortable and familiar. Our focus is on older person care, delivered through both long term residential arrangements and flexible respite stays. For many families, choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions they will ever make, and we understand the weight of that responsibility. Residential care with us means having a dedicated team on hand day and night, support with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing and medication, and the freedom to enjoy meals, company and activities without the burdens of running a household. For those considering respite care, whether following a hospital stay, to give a family carer a well earned break, or simply as a trial of home life with us, we aim to make the transition as smooth and welcoming as possible. We believe that good care is about more than meeting physical needs. It is about knowing each person, their history, their preferences, and the small daily habits that make them who they are. Our team takes the time to build genuine relationships with residents and their loved ones, so that care feels personal rather than routine. In our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, dated June 2022, our home received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We want to be open and honest with families about this. The CQC recognised our Caring domain as Good, which reflects the compassion, kindness and respect our team shows towards residents every day, something we are genuinely proud of. In the areas rated as Requires Improvement, covering Safe, Effective, Responsive and Well led, we understand there is work to do, and we are committed to listening, learning and making the changes needed to strengthen every aspect of life at our home. Families considering us are warmly encouraged to ask questions, visit in person, and see for themselves the progress being made. If you are exploring residential or respite care in Worksop for a loved one, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to arrange a visit, meet our team, and discover whether Old Vicarage Care Home could be the right place to call home. We are here to answer your questions with honesty and warmth, and to walk alongside you at every step of this important journey.
