  • Rosebank Care Home, Bampton
Rosebank, rated 'Outstanding' by the CQC in March 2020, is situated in the beautiful village of Bampton in West Oxfordshire. Rosebank is an independently run 28 bedded Care Home, which prides itself on providing personal care in a friendly, homely and supportive environment.

The philosophy is to enable people to continue their lives in a dignified, loving and safe home. Bampton has a vibrant community life which carers encourage residents to be a part of. The home is integrated into the community and they in turn are actively involved in the home.

In addition, the home is truly fortunate to have an excellent medical team in the village, of GPs, district nurses and a pharmacy, who visit the home daily and involve themselves in all phases of care.

All staff are well trained and are supported to achieve national qualifications. The home also has a comprehensive in house training programme. Staff are experienced to deal with all aspects of care in the elderly, including physical infirmity and psychological needs. Carers have a particular expertise in the management of dementia.

The home can accommodate long and short term stays, day care, rehabilitation and respite stays.

Selecting a care home for a loved one is an important decision. Interested parties are welcome to call or visit the home at any time. Staff will be happy to chat to you and offer any guidance, advice and support they are able.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Rosebank for 4 months. She is well cared for and always appears happy when we visit. After months of concern before moving to Rosebank she now leads a full life with lots of activities and outings which we could never have provided at home. The food is varied
and wholesome and the staff very caring and approachable. We are kept updated by their message group chat which is a lovely way of seeing how settled she obviously is. I would highly recommend Rosebank to anyone making this difficult decision for a loved one.

Reply from Alice Ledwith, Customer Relations Manager at Rosebank Care Home

other families.

I live at a distance from Bampton but was able to visit my mum in March. She is well, clearly well cared for and I am able to rest easier knowing both those things. Rosebank’s facilities are good, the catering is good and the staff are very caring and respectful, offering imaginative and creative activities
for the residents.

My mother has been a resident at Rosebank for just over a year now. We have been so impressed with how well kept the facilities are and how welcoming the staff are. When you walk in you feel like you are in a lovely home. There is a great menu daily and wonderful excursions and activities to keep everyone
occupied. I look forward to their monthly newsletters which always have lovely photos which we cherish. I feel very fortunate that we found Rosebank and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a care home.

We are always welcomed into the home by very pleasant, happy carers and made to feel very welcome. We are always offered refreshments and the staff are always willing to talk to us and listen to and act on any requests we might have regarding my husband. He is always kept very clean and tidy and seems
to be happy.

My dad has been at Rosebank for a couple of years now and the care he receives has been outstanding. He really enjoys the film nights and the local outings - and the staff always keep me up to date with how he's doing. Visitors are warmly welcomed and the staff always take the time to chat with me about
my dad. We were so lucky to find Rosebank and it really is a great weight off my shoulders knowing my dad is so well cared for.

Reply from Kate Wyatt, Administrator at Rosebank Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind and honest response. We are delighted that your dad is happy, settled and enjoying the activities that we provide at Rosebank. We will feedback your comments to the team.

My aunty transferred into Rosebank from a care home in Cheltenham back in July, and thanks to the skills of the Rosebank team settled in quickly. The care she has received from all the staff since then I can only describe as outstanding. Due mainly to her dementia my aunty can be 'difficult' but I have
never seen her treated with anything but care, understanding and respect. She is given the opportunity to take part in activities and engage with others (and to our amazement after 4 years of her refusing to venture outside of the confines of a care home was persuaded to take part in a shopping trip to local shops), and we are kept informed of any developments concerning her care.
The home itself always has a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and we feel very fortunate that she is being looked after in Rosebank.

Reply from Kate Wyatt, Administrator at Rosebank Care Home

Thank you so much for your honest and kind review of the team here at Rosebank. Your words are of reassurance to others looking at our home, and that your Aunt has been treated with the utmost respect at all times and that her privacy and choices have always been a top priority. How lovely that your Aunt was able to go on a shopping trip, we hope that she treated herself. Your review will be shared with the homes management and team. Thank you again for taking the time to review us.

My mother has nothing but praise for the caring and attentive staff. She has so much fun, including bowling, petting ponies, visits from all sorts of animals and enjoying just relaxing with her TV and snacks. A kind, caring and safe environment where I know Mum is always well-supported.

I have not observed personal care. However, I am always made welcome when I arrive and am offered a cup of tea. The resident seems happy and settled. The overall standard seems to be good. There is evidence of attending activities. The tea trolley is well stocked.

I cannot thank everyone at Rosebank Care Home enough. My mother was so well looked after throughout her stay here. I would recommend this home to anybody needing care for a family member. The end of life care was absolutely amazing, not just for Mum! I was looked after so well during the long hours
of my visits before Mum passed away. Thank you so much to all of you.

I am so pleased Mum moved into Rosebank six months ago, after a pretty traumatic time in hospital then a temporary care home. With dementia and poor mobility, she was overwhelmed, confused and under-weight. On arrival, it was as if a huge weight had lifted from us all. The staff are a wonderful team;
catering, maintenance, housekeeping, activities and management provide that all-round care that allows Mum to feel valued, relaxed, well cared for and safe. She eats well and enjoys a wide range of activities: trips out, time in the garden, exercise classes, hair-dos, crafts, films, music and more. She has a lovely room where the family can meet to enjoy private quiet time, but the residents and staff are a community who spend time together. Care extends to us as well; a cup of tea is always on offer, along with updates of what she has been doing. I feel comfortable and relaxed when I pop in to see her. I looked at a good number of care homes and this is the place you would want for your loved one.

Pleased with the quality of care for my mum. The staff are always polite, considerate and all know my mum well and her personal care needs. The only constructive feedback I can offer to review would be to: log, date and sign by P.O.A any jewellery which is to be kept safe, or sign a disclaimer that
if left on and it goes missing it clears responsibility for the care home. Also, different staff feedback different things when visiting, so this is confusing to know the right answer.

We can't fault the care that Rosebank Care Home provides for our mother. The attention to detail is amazing and every member of staff knows Mum personally. She is clean and well kept. We feel very happy that Mum's needs are being met and can't recommend Rosebank enough.

I am so pleased that my mother is in Rosebank Care Home. The staff see her as the warm and funny person she always was and still is, even though she understands very little and makes very little sense. They hug her, make her laugh, sing with her or dance with her. Everyone tells me how much they love
her. She was quite unwell recently, so my brother and I were there in her room as a member of staff gently woke her up, welcomed her back with a smile and patiently helped her to drink a glass of water, a task I would have thought impossible until I saw her do it. She showed so much kindness and common sense and I left utterly reassured, knowing she was in the safest of hands.

Rosebank is a wonderful care home with a real family feel. It feels like a real home and being relatively small, everyone there knows the staff and fellow residents. The activities team are very active and there is always something going on for the residents who enjoy joining in. Trips and outings are
a regular feature in the warmer weather. Also, the garden is a lovely and safe place for residents to enjoy the outdoors. It is also a great place to meet with family in the warmer weather - very efficient heating allows outdoor meetings in the spring and autumn too.

I am always impressed with the atmosphere when I visit my sister in Rosebank. It is relaxed and comfortable, with the various residents able to walk around if they are capable and those sitting down seem happy and well cared for. My sister has settled in very well and seems happy. The staff are so
patient and genuinely caring and gentle.

My sister moved to Rosebank in August 2022 after she fell and broke her femur and was unable to live in her own home safely. It was a very stressful time. I was very worried about how she would adapt to living in an unfamiliar environment. She had been very aggressive to care staff when living at home
and refused personal care or other interventions. While in hospital after her fall, she had been very challenging with hospital staff refusing personal care, food, physiotherapy and medication. However, as soon as she moved to Rosebank she seemed to relax and settled in remarkably quickly. She always looks happy and relaxed when people visit. I think the lovely environment that the Rosebank staff provide has made it possible for her to relax and accept the care that she needs. I have been able to relax after several stressful years of managing her care from a long distance and increasing concerns about her safety and well-being when living alone in her own home. Thank you, Rosebank!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Rosebank Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.832 for Rosebank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.832

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rosebank Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Care Home Manager

Joined: 2009

I have worked in the care sector and with Rosebank for over 13 years. I began my journey with Rosebank as a care worker and I am so proud to have progressed to home manager. I have loved working in care from the very beginning – I love taking care of our residents and making their lives enjoyable and fulfilling. If I can make at least one of my residents laugh or smile during the day, it makes my day!


Our vision for Rosebank has always been that it is first and foremost our residents. home; a place where they feel loved, safe, respected, and treated with dignity.


To help achieve this, our staff must understand our values, and be kind and compassionate... But also fun!


Our values are centred around residents having a sense of purpose and belonging, living well, and finding enjoyment. This is supported by ensuring residents have a choice, every day, on how they want to spend their time and with whom.


Having a link with our local community is a key priority at Rosebank. It is something we have striven to achieve and continue to develop. It is central to the happiness of our residents. The community at Bampton are involved in the lives of our residents on a daily basis. This is supported through regular interactions with local school children and even toddler groups.


Rosebank is a beautiful home, set in stunning Oxfordshire surroundings, but the essence of the home, and the very fabric of who we are, is nothing without the staff within it. The team is everything, from careful recruitment to ongoing support, training, and feeling valued and part of our family. The management team, and many of the staff, have been with us since 2008.


We go above and beyond to look after our team. We have a commitment to a high staff ratio, to ensure staff have time to deliver quality care they can feel proud of, and to build valued relationships.


We listen to our staff, seek their feedback, and implement their ideas for continuous improvement. Ongoing training and development is actively encouraged and supported for everyone, to ensure the highest standards of care for all our residents.
