I feel very well looked after at Rashwood like a 5 star hotel. The care staff are warm and friendly and most of them are from the local area, as I am, so I feel amongst friends. The extensive grounds are beautiful and well kept and a great pleasure to walk around. Absolutely perfect! (and I should mention
that a peacock guards the front entrance!)

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for Rashwood Care 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.881 for Rashwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.881

  • 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 Rashwood Care Home is based on 18 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 18 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.

Catherine Lines

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2024

Catherine trained as a Registered Nurse at the Bristol and Weston School of Nursing which led to a career in nursing spanning cardiac intensive care and a range of surgical specialities culminating in a Surgical Modern Matron position. Catherine led the Bristol Hospital’s International Recruitment and Education Programme which brought her acute nursing experience into senior healthcare management.


In 2005, Catherine moved from the NHS to the role of Director of Tetbury Hospital, an independent charitable community hospital in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. She transferred this experience to health and social care, as the General Manager for The Cotswold Home achieving a CQC Outstanding rating. Catherine then completed two years as Clinical Director overseeing the delivery of care and compliance across Elizabeth Finn Homes.


Catherine has now taken up the role of General Manager for Rashwood. In her own words, “I missed the home environment and the camaraderie of a close-knit community of staff, families and residents. As General Manager of Rashwood, I am most looking forward to getting to know our wonderful residents and to welcoming new ones. I have so many plans for this fabulous home and working with the local community in Droitwich”.
