About The Old Rectory Care Home

We are The Old Rectory Care Home, a residential care home in Wolverhampton supporting older people who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia. We think of this as somebody's home rather than as a facility, and that shapes small decisions as much as large ones, from how people are greeted in the morning to whether they have a real say in what is on the menu. Everyone here keeps their own room, their own belongings and as much of their own routine as they wish. Some enjoy company and the busier parts of the day, others prefer their own space and quiet, and neither choice needs explaining. Help with washing, dressing, medication and getting about is given at the person's pace, because being supported should not mean being hurried. For those living with dementia we pay close attention to familiar objects, familiar faces and a steady rhythm, and we take time to learn about somebody's work, family and interests so that reassurance rests on something real. We also provide respite stays, which give a family carer a planned break or help somebody rebuild confidence after illness before going home. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us outstanding overall. We are proud of that, though what it really reflects is the ordinary consistency of the team here rather than anything dramatic, and a rating has to be earned again every day. Relatives and friends are welcome, and we would encourage anyone considering us to visit.
