My mum had a very good experience during a short respite stay. The day after she came back home, she said she wanted to return for good and didn't want to consider other homes because she thought the staff were excellent and she had made friends there. Mum is returning permanently in 2 days. Permanent
care is a huge decision as it involves the sale of a family home and parting ways with belongings but mum is positive about the decision and is looking forward to it.
The staff and facilities are excellent, and Rownhams Manor is sociable and inviting. All residents seem to be very content.

Staff put on a lovely high tea for my mum (a resident) and my wife. The team were all very welcoming and set things up in a separate room from other residents so that we could talk privately with Mum as she is hard of hearing. Complements to the chef who prepared a tasty spread.

We had a delicious afternoon tea with my mother-in-law. It was thoughtfully served in the Garden Room so we could chat as a family group. The cake stand was beautifully presented and the cakes and scones were very tasty! Thank you to the chef and staff.

Rownhams Manor is a fantastic care home and its ethos of resident-centric care has meant Dad has settled in quickly, despite never wanting to end up in a care home. The food is amazing and he now looks really healthy, I don't think he is going to have any issues getting to at least 100 with the care
he is getting.
The atmosphere when you walk in is lively, the staff are all very friendly and you can visit whenever you like, so it means I can pop in after work.
All in all, Rownhams Manor is the best care home I've seen in the area, and it is a relief to know he's in a home where he's happy and well cared for.

Reply from Samantha Squibb, General Manager at Rownhams Manor

It is our pleasure having your father in the home and we are delighted that we are able to give him the well-deserved care that he deserves. Thank you very much for the feedback and please do continue joining us for meals - it's important to us that our home is treated as a home for both the residents and their loved ones. Kind Regards.

I find Rownhams Manor wonderful. From day one I couldn't ask for any more than the staff are already providing for my parents. The facilities are more than a five-star hotel. Food is exceptional as I have personally had some meals at the Care Home myself. We are always welcomed at front door from the
staff. We are well informed on my parents' health and well-being. All the residents are also just as nice and I cannot fault the home.

Reply from Samantha Squibb, General Manager at Rownhams Manor

Rownhams Manor is a fantastic care home. From the moment we first visited we knew my mum would be very happy here. Like many people she was very nervous about such a big change in her life but all the staff have welcomed her with open arms, she has settled in very well and has made some good new friends.
The
bedrooms and lounge areas are lovely and mum loves sitting outside in the garden, watching what's going on and chatting with staff, other residents and their visitors. She also enjoys watching movies in the cinema room.
Most important of all, it's the fantastic staff that make Rownhams Manor such a great place, everyone is so kind, helpful and caring. Highly recommended.

Reply from Samantha Squibb, General Manager at Rownhams Manor

Thank you for your heartfelt review and for choosing Rownhams Manor for your mum's care. We're so glad to hear that from your first visit, you felt confident that she would be happy with us. It's completely natural to be nervous about such a significant change, and we're thrilled that she has settled in well, made new friends, and enjoys spending time in the garden. It's wonderful to know that she's taking full advantage of the lovely lounge areas and enjoying our cinema room as well! We are especially grateful for your kind words about our staff - they are truly the heart of Rownhams Manor, and it's rewarding to hear that their kindness, care, and dedication have made such a positive impact on your mum's experience.

I cannot praise and thank ALL the staff at Rownhams Manor enough. Their care, friendliness, compassion, understanding and professionalism are outstanding. They treat both residents and their families with respect and are always available to chat through any situation. The property is beautiful and more
like a hotel than a care home. 5 stars from us.

My mother came in on a month trial in July with a view to a long time stay, she very quickly became used to her surroundings and has settled in well. Now a full-time resident she enjoys all activities laid on, thinks food is good and loves her weekly trip to the hairdresser.

Reply from Samantha Squibb, General Manager at Rownhams Manor

Thank you so much for the lovely review - we are so pleased to have her at Rownhams Manor. She has made some lovely friends and is always keen to participate in the events that are happening in and around the home.

I visited my friend who has just moved into Rownhams Manor. I was impressed by the building and the facilities. The staff are lovely and very positive about the care home. At the moment the ratio of staff to residents is very high because the home is very new and has not filled up yet. My friend is
very positive about the food. It is too early for me to judge how it will be when there are more residents.

Reply from Samantha Squibb, General Manager at Rownhams Manor

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Rownhams Manor 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.889 for Rownhams Manor is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 135 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 4.909 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rownhams Manor is based on 12 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.909

  • 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.
