Mum went to Red Rose for the last 3 months of her life. She was looked after with care and kindness. We would highly recommend Red Rose and all their staff. The home is very clean, with lovely rooms and friendly staff. We were made very welcome when visiting mum and saw for ourselves the care that everyone
had for the residents. We as a family cannot thank all the staff at Red Rose enough.

My mum moved into the home on the dementia care part of the building at Farndon back in 2021. My mum has Alzheimer's disease and with her being a strong character, we thought the transition to residential care would be a struggle for her and the care team. She very quickly settled in, and found her
singing voice and her wicked sense of humour too.


She still resides there, she is settled and thinks of the staff as family.


I have to commend the staff and management. Everyone involved with the care of my mum, are switched on, engaged, empathetic and passionate. They truly care for her and are very supportive of the family.


The home is spotlessly clean, and the food is well balanced and cooked on site.


There is a laundry in situ ran by a team. Mum's clothes are clean and fresh and that gives incredible peace of mind.


Mum is in the best place possible and we are incredibly blessed to have this all on our doorstep.


Thank you Red Rose from the bottom of my heart

My father has been on a respite break for five weeks. I have nothing but praise for every aspect of his care. From being admitted to the present day nothing has been too much trouble for the staff. He had a lovely welcome and settled quickly despite a hiccup with his health. He is well looked after
and supported, the nursing team are very kind and emphatic. He alongside the other residents are treated with respect and the care is person-centred. The home is very clean, the staff appear to be happy, work as a team and the management team are very proactive and responsive. The food is home-cooked and healthy, and all his laundry needs are met with the laundry in situ.
I am extremely grateful for all the support I have received at this emotional time. A million heartbeats of love to you all.

My mother moved into Red Rose Care Community in March last year. The care since this time has been thoughtful, professional, and very friendly towards her. This was during the difficult times of the Covid pandemic. I cannot thank them enough. Her recent fall and hospitalisation has proved difficult
for her but I am sure that on her return to the home she will make great strides again.

Once my father-in-law settled into Red Rose, he was treated by the teams of carers as a family member. His requirements and wishes were acted with kindness and professionalism, and the monitoring of his health was discretely accomplished. The building and surrounds are bright and clean, and whenever
it is possible, all residents are encouraged to use all facilities and interact, if they wish. There is never any pressure placed on the residents. Red Rose is like a quality hotel, food and accommodation, very good, with the addition of a superb team of carers.

Just a big thank you to all the staff at Red Rose Newark. My mum, aged 95 years, enjoyed a very healthy life with no major issues. Unfortunately, she had to go into a nursing home for the last two weeks of her life because of a stroke. I can honestly say all the staff we met were fantastic, caring,
friendly and helpful and in my opinion, we definitely chose the right home. I already have and will recommend Red Rose to anyone. Thank you.

An old gentleman of 91 years of age, who I have known for almost 50 years was admitted in August 2019, I have visited two or three times a week until the current worldwide Coronavirus epidemic. On each and every occasion, I have always found the staff most caring and very helpful, a first-class caring
service, what else could one wish for. Excellent in every respect.

My mother has been at Red Rose since September. The staff are all lovely and really seem to care about her - nothing is too much trouble. She is well looked after and well-fed and joins in with all the activities each day. The home is comfortable and spotless with a lovely dining room. There is always
someone around to explain things if I have any queries - I only have to ask.

The home is still judged "inadequate" by the CQC. However over the last year, we have come a long way, no agency staff, the home is being refurbished and a complete overhaul of management has resulted in an "open door policy" where residents and relatives are being listened to. There are still some
issues causing concern but staff and management are working hard to address them. Overall the atmosphere in the home has completely changed for the better.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Red Rose Care Community 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.786 for Red Rose Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.786

  • 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 Red Rose Care Community is based on 16 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 16 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.
