About The Old Vicarage Residential and Dementia Care Home
The Old Vicarage is a residential and dementia care home in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, providing care for older people, along with shorter respite stays. A good number of the people living here are living with dementia, and that shapes how the whole house runs. We keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, and we arrange the building so that it is easy to understand and move around in. We take the view that behaviour is nearly always communication, and the useful question is what somebody is trying to tell us rather than how to stop it. Our staff tend to stay with us, which does more to settle a person than any particular method could. The care covers help with washing and dressing, prompting and administering medication, meals cooked on the premises, support with mobility, and somebody always about when a person needs them. Families are welcome whenever they wish to come, and we would much rather hear a concern early than late. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
