About Old Vicarage Nursing Home

The Old Vicarage is a nursing home in Oswestry caring for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia. Qualified nurses are on duty at every hour of the day and night, working alongside carers who know everybody here well. Nursing on the premises means health needs are attended to promptly rather than waiting on visits from elsewhere, and it means clinical care and everyday life are looked after together rather than separately. What somebody likes, what settles them and how they want their day to go counts alongside what is recorded on a chart. For people living with dementia we keep the day steady and the faces familiar. We ask families to tell us about a person's working life, the family they mention and what calms them when they are anxious, and we use that daily rather than filing it away. Meals are cooked here and adapted where swallowing or appetite is a difficulty. This is a rural part of Shropshire and many people here have lived locally for a long time, so we keep those connections going wherever we can. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour. Short stays are available when a carer at home needs a rest. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring if you would like to visit.
