When we first looked around Rodwell House it compared very favourably with others we'd seen. As a modern purpose-built home it simply doesn't compare with older buildings which have been adapted. The care suites are large and airy and the communal areas are spotless. We regularly see the entrance hall
carpet being cleaned (not just hoovered).
Mum is bedbound but the built-in hoist and nursing chairs mean she can be taken downstairs for a sociable lunch and to enjoy the entertainment. She adores the pet therapy sessions! We were encouraged to make Mum's room her own by taking in belongings to personalise it. The kitchenette in her room means we can make our own drinks and sit in her comfy chairs for a natter, we know other visitors have a meal with her in the lounge - the flexibility is great.
The staff are all extremely friendly to residents and visitors alike - and that includes housekeeping, laundry and catering staff too. There is definitely a can do culture.

My mother was 98 and had dementia. She was looked after very well and treated very kindly by the staff. She was allowed to be herself and she was listened to.
She enjoyed the food, the gardens and some of the activities. She had a great sense of humour and often laughed with the staff.

I have seen my Mum, Dad, and now husband cared for at Rodwell, and overall I have been very pleased with the care, professionalism, and support I have received. Many of the staff in particular have been extremely kind over very difficult times, and I always felt I could ask questions or for help.
I
would recommend Rodwell to others if needed.

It's very stressful making this decision for a loved one, especially when there is no other family around. This was the best decision, Im so relieved, the staff at Rodwell are exemplary and my aunt is settling in and happy.

I must say since my mother went into Rodwell House her mind, and ability to talk has improved, my mum hasn't been outside for four years plus, and it was amazing to sit with my mum in their wonderful garden.

The care shown by the nursing staff was excellent, even when Mum was challenging. Some staff she was very fond of. the accommodation was adequate given Mum's condition, however, I did raise a concern about the cleanliness of the bathroom on one occasion, which was promptly rectified. It would be useful
if food could be readily available for end-of-life patients with dementia, as they don't always understand the idea of having to wait for set meal times. Overall would recommend Rodwell to those thinking of using it. Family support was exemplary.

It's just 6 weeks and I'm happy we've made a good decision to choose Rodwell House for Dad. The staff are polite and efficient and the home is well run. For the able residents, it's nice to see they are regularly socialising as a group when I arrive to see Dad.
This may be for watching TV, oldies singing
along or for visiting entertainers.
Our family visited many similar homes and found Rodwell House to be cleaner, fresher and better aired than others. Room sizes are very good and en-suite facilities as standard.

Best home in this area. My husband is really happy here. Staff are very friendly and see that his needs are met. My husband is of normal intelligence and the care staff ensure that he's spoken to appropriately. I actually cannot fault this home.

My father moved here from another care home. We were very nervous to move and the impact on him. However, we needn't have worried. He was made to feel very welcome from day 1 and his room was a vast improvement over the previous. There is always a warm welcome by all members of staff and we are confident
our father is in very good hands.

My mother has been at Rodwell House since September 2023. Moving into nursing care after having your own house and being independent is very difficult and as one might say a bitter pill to swallow. All the staff at Rodwell House have made this transition smooth and any small bumps, questions or concerns
have been dealt with straight away and Mum has now become part of the family and is always encouraged to join in with any of the activities on offer but at the same time allowed space if she has a day that she wants to just be resting.

We have been visiting my aunt at Rodwell House for the past two months and always found staff from cleaners, carers and management helpful and very happy. Everyone always has a smile and a kind word. My aunt is happier than she has been for a while, content and relaxed and she loves all the carers and
never said anything negative. Friends that visit have all been impressed and have all said how well she is being looked after.

My mother has been in Rodwell House for 7 weeks now and from the very first day the staff have been excellent. The food is also excellent and the carers never rush Mum when feeding her. All the facilities including rooms, dining room and gardens are all lovely and clean. We couldn't wish for a better
home to look after Mum.

My father moved here just before Christmas. He settled in straight away, in fact, better than the previous outstanding home he was at. From the start of the process of moving him and onward, we have felt well-supported as a family. The staff are brilliant with him and understand his routine and fit
around him. He loves the open space and being able to roam around and chat with the staff. The garden is lovely and having a children's play area is genius.

I have been visiting a resident every week since she was first admitted at the beginning of 2023. Over this time I had experienced and noted caring and attentive attention towards occupants, especially my ex-wife who when first admitted was very agitated by the different surroundings but now is very
comfortable and relaxed with her everyday living in Rodwell House.

During Dad's stay at Rodwell House Care Home from May until he, sadly, died in Septment, he was treated with dignity, kindness and respect. He was always clean and tidy whenever we visited him, his room was clean and he told us the food was very good! The facilities in his room were excellent with a
very safe hospital bed, large screen TV, clock, fridge, chairs and coffee table and his own toilet and shower in his wet room. The carers and nurses took time to care for his emotional needs as well as his physical ones and were very attentive.

Believe the staff do try and do care but this care home is very poor in nearly every respect. Parent was usually dirty, clothes and belongings lost, no activities, very poor nutrition, every corridor stinks of urine, was generally dirty, and little to no management oversight. I could go on very easily.
Made the decision to move parent after a year, so pleased we made the move, parent is now transformed and the new home is incredible, as you should expect. Rodwell House could be fantastic, the building is great but everything else is truly dreadful.

Reply from Janet Bromley, Registered Manager at Rodwell House

We are sorry that we have not provided the expected level of care to your mother-in-law. However, we are in regular contact with our residents and their relatives and our latest surveys have indicated that the vast majority of them are satisfied with the level of service we provide in respect to resident personal care, food, smell, resident presentation, activities, building cleanliness and managerial oversight.
It is good that 6 months on your mother-in-law has settled in well and we trust that she continues to be well looked after in her new home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.490)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.490) out of 10 for Rodwell House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 21 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 4.490 for Rodwell House is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 247 Ratings = 4.49

  • 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 Rodwell House 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, 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.
