About
The Old Rectory is a 27-bed care home in Stafford, Staffordshire. It provides residential, dementia and respite care, and it supports people living with dementia or physical disabilities. The home sits in the rural village of Fradswell, overlooking the surrounding countryside. The building was not purpose-built, but each bedroom is personalised with family photographs, decorations and keepsakes, and a memory board on the door helps residents recognise their room.
Residents can use open communal rooms, a smaller lounge and secure gardens, where they can walk or help with gardening. Meals can be taken in the dining room or in residents' own rooms, and complex dietary needs can be catered for. An activities coordinator arranges group and individual activities, and the home keeps chickens that residents are encouraged to help care for. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Good overall, and Good for safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and being well-led.
