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.

Lesley Forrester

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.

Our Building and Facilities

We take great pride in the accommodation we provide for our residents and regularly refurbish the home to offer a high standard of homely and tastefully decorated accommodation. The home strives to maintain excellent hygiene and cleanliness standards. The Old Vicarage is divided into 4 units, Mitchell House, named after the famous Reginald Mitchell who designed the Spitfire, Wedgewood House, named after Josiah Wedgewood of The Potteries, Trentham House, the ducal estate of the Sutherland family and Mathews House, named after the famous footballer Stanley Mathews from the area.

The Home provides three beautifully decorated sitting rooms, one on each floor and a quiet lounge to provide privacy and a peaceful environment for families. The sitting rooms offer a range of comfortable armchairs and recliners to accommodate differing needs of our residents. We have two beautiful communal dining areas where residents can enjoy our freshly cooked food, or if preferred, they are welcome to dine in their own rooms.

The garden is easily accessible for wheelchairs, and residents and their visitors are encouraged to use the grounds as much as possible.
