About The Old Vicarage
The Old Vicarage supports older people and younger adults through residential care shaped around independence, wellbeing and personal interests. Residents are encouraged to continue existing hobbies, join local clubs and take part in a varied programme of activities.
Landscaped grounds provide space for walking, chatting and painting, while bedrooms can be personalised with residents’ own possessions. Self-contained cottages are available for residents seeking greater independence and freedom. The home also welcomes family and friends and encourages residents to take part in decisions about life at the home. Self-contained cottages are also available within the rural setting.

How much does The Old Vicarage cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Old Vicarage for its weekly fee. As a guide, Somerset council paid on average £1,135 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
