We are committed to providing the best care for our residents. We are, however, really sorry that you feel this way. This is not the experience or feedback reviews of the vast majority of our residents and their families. We are confident that Rowans Care Centre is a caring place with compassionate and professional staff. Regarding your concerns about the staff, we want to emphasise that our team, including agency staff, receive comprehensive training to ensure the highest standards of care and we apologise if you have felt otherwise. As per the needs of the care service, there is an expectation that the manager has to spend time in the office due to their role-specific management duties, however, we will continue to monitor this and make improvements should we need to.

I am sorry that you felt this way during your stay. Please let me address them: 1. showers are offered daily and can be requested. 2. Bed sheets again can be changed on request, we do not automatically change daily unless required. 3. The floor is mopped at least once daily and domestics are always available being on the ground floor next to a garden tends to bring in the wildlife. 4. Handovers are an important part of the day but only take an average of 15 minutes. 5. The door closure was recently repaired. 6. unaware of the burning fat smell at meal times this has not been reported before. we only use our fryers once or twice a week and the oil is changed frequently. 7. Overseas staff are educated in food safety, unfortunately as a gluten-free diet is not seen often mistakes were made, apologies given, and further education provided. 8. We always ensure we knock when entering a room, I am sorry you felt you had no privacy. I could have addressed these concerns during your stay if informed.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.554) out of 10 for Rowans Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.554 for Rowans Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.554
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 Rowans Care Centre is based on 25 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 25 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.

Joined: 2022
A warm welcome to our vibrant and caring home at the Rowans!
At Rowans Care Centre, our commitment goes beyond providing exceptional care - we're about building warm relationships and fostering a family atmosphere that defines our community.
As a proud Home Manager, I believe great care goes further than rules and regulations. It's about real human relationships and emotions, knowing each resident's story, and treating them like family. Making a difference in people's lives and being part of that transformative journey are the driving forces behind my dedication.
At the Rowans, everyone has a say in every aspect of their lives. From supporting hobbies to crafting personalised meal plans, we champion autonomy and choice.
Creating a positive and inclusive environment is at the core of what we do, for both residents and team members. At the Rowans, everyone is encouraged to feel a sense of belonging, have a voice, feel valued, collaborate, and have the resources they need.
To those considering the Rowans for their loved ones, know that your family is as important to us as they are to you. We care not only for your loved one but for you too.
I would be more than happy to discuss your search for care further. Feel free to call me for a friendly chat.
