Meet The Manager
Lesley Forrester is Home Manager at The Old Vicarage Nursing Home.
Hi, my name is Lesley. I am delighted to introduce myself as the home manager at the Old Vicarage Nursing Home. My main priority for the nursing home is to improve on its already happy environment where residents feel genuinely at home whilst supporting colleagues to develop their skills and be genuinely inspired by their work. It is a privilege to listen and learn from our residents and I am here to help and support them and their families. I look forward to meeting you and answering any of your questions or queries and welcoming you into the Old Vicarage Nursing Home.
The Old Vicarage is situated on the High Street in Goldenhill, Staffordshire to the north west of Stoke-on-Trent. The Home has good road links to the M6, A34 and A50, and there is a regular bus service. The Home is conveniently close to local amenities for residents and visitors.
It is a converted vicarage with new wings being subsequently added. The Old Vicarage is registered to provide personal, nursing and memory care to people over the age of 65. A Memory Care was recently developed which is self contained and offers a calm and beautiful accommodation. The home has a choice of single and twin rooms with the majority offering en-suite facilities. We provide long stay, respite care and emergency stays.
