Having recently undergone an impressive £4 million refurbishment, Rowanweald looks as wonderful as it feels. But it’s the team, which includes highly skilled nurses, which make this home feel really special.

The team are dedicated to enriching the lives of their residents and their loved ones, who are embraced into life in the home and are welcome to visit at any time. They are passionate about residents having an active role to play in how their home is run and most importantly – having choice.

The home’s resident ambassador is proud of his role and does everything from welcoming new residents to the home and providing feedback to the team, to creating a special spot in the garden for his fellow residents.

There is always so much going on at the home, from gentle exercise sessions and arts and crafts, to gardening and music.

As part of not-for-profit Sanctuary Care’s extensive investment into the home, Rowanweald has a beautifully refurbished hair salon for weekly appointments with a mobile hairdresser. There is also a new café area, which is lovely spot to relax with loved ones.

The residents enjoy home-cooked food prepared by the chef in the dining rooms, with freshly baked biscuits and cakes for afternoon tea. And there are welcoming lounges to relax and enjoy activities.

In the centre of the home is an enclosed courtyard garden, with raised flower beds and seating, plus there is another side garden.

Situated close to a country park, Rowanweald overlooks the High Street of Harrow Weald and has ample parking.

My Dad has been at Rowanweald for 18 months now and from day one has been treated with the best care possible. The staff proactively look into his health and well-being and are all fond of him and kind to him. My Nan has just today moved into the home today and has been reunited with her son, a dream
come true! With the help of The Manager and the other staff, it was hassle-free and they couldn't have been any more helpful and kind to us. The manager is fantastic and has made things feel less of a stress when things really were stressful, always calm and collected.
My Nan has been in 2 Care homes prior to this and my Dad's 1 other home, this is one trumps them all and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of or having to bring a loved one into care. I honestly don't have a bad word to say about this place.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. It's wonderful to hear that both your dad and nan are so happy and well cared for at Rowanweald. Our team is dedicated to creating a supportive, caring environment, and it's wonderful to hear your family has been reunited here. We're so glad that the transition was smooth and that our manager and staff could provide the support you needed during this time. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated thank you.

From the moment my mother arrived at Rowanweald everyone has done their best to ensure she is comfortable, well cared for and her individual needs are met.
The warm welcome, the clean room, prompt return of spotless laundry, and suitable and tasty food are provided each and every day. On the rare occasion
where an issue has arisen, it has been responded to promptly in a positive manner with a satisfactory resolution.
Such care can only result from excellent management of a cohesive team where every individual is working to not only to fulfil their individual role but to support other teams.
We are immensely fortunate to find a place where our mother can be cared for in such a homely, loving way with dignity and feel no amount of money could buy better care.
Well done to the team at Rowanweald.

My mother was admitted to Rowanweald just before Christmas 2023. Before arrival the team was very helpful in completing the assessment required and showing my brother and I around. On the day of admission, Mother was received efficiently and with great care by everyone in the home. She has been well
looked after some her arrival and the nurses and cares have been respectful in minimising her distresses. Thank you to all of them.

Both my parents moved into Rowanweald just over a year ago. They have different needs, and the carers and staff always do their very best to make them comfortable and happy. Everyone is very friendly and approachable - management, reception, nurses and carers. Mum and Dad spend the afternoons in the
lounge together. Although their dementia means they forget a lot of things, they still remember each other.
I am so happy we found a very good nursing home like Rowanweald for Mum and Dad to belong to, with the added bonus that it is also close enough to make our frequent visits easy.

My husband, who had dementia and a range of health issues, was a resident for three months before he died, and I shall always be grateful for the excellent care he received. I have been volunteering one day a week since December 2022, helping with a wide range of activities, serving lunch and looking
after the garden. The staff are very caring; they interact very well with the residents and with each other. The residents enjoy the activities with every effort made to help and encourage them to participate. The meals are good and served in a friendly manner, and staff take account of residents' preferences wherever possible. Visitors and volunteers are made welcome, and you sense a happy and caring atmosphere when you walk in the door. I certainly look forward to my weekly visit.

My mother has been a resident in the home now for several months following my father's death. We booked Mum in for a 2 week trial but after 5 days she decided to stay permanently. Mum loves being part of the Rowanweald family. She is treated with kindness and respect by every member of staff. Before
she entered the home she had lost weight and was relying on food supplements but now she enjoys every freshly cooked meal, sitting with her new friends. Mum frequently comments it's like living in a 5* hotel but with the benefits of being cared for by wonderful staff. Mum is definitely much happier and healthier than she has been for a long while.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Rowanweald. We are so pleased to hear your mother has settled in well and is enjoying the family-feel at our home. It is our pleasure to care for her and support her wellbeing. We will pass your kind words on to our team. Best wishes, Lisa.

My mum has been in Rowanweald for a few months now. The care from the staff is excellent. They go out of their way to make Mum feel at home and she has now settled in and seems very happy. She tells me the food is really excellent (particularly the soup!) and looks forward to her meals. The home is
kept spotlessly clean and there are activities each weekday. I think, most importantly, everyone is very friendly and whenever you walk in there is a big welcome.

My father went to Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home in December 2018 and passed away 4 years later.
During his time there I can honestly say I had a very good relationship not only with the nurses and carers but also with the management team.
Anyone considering moving a family member or friend
to a care home should definitely pay a visit to Rowanweald.
The staff at all levels were very kind and patient with me. I visited regularly and especially as his health deteriorated I saw the changes and they willingly explained what was happening to him. They were open, honest and transparent.
I would recommend to anyone visiting someone in care to be involved and visit as much as possible to build up a relationship with the people looking after your loved one, see how hard they work and how willing they are to spend time explaining the changes that are occurring.
I have stayed in touch, can pop by for a chat and still be just as important to them where my father spent the last 4 years of his life.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.857 for Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 Rowanweald Residential and Nursing 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, 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.
