As a niece of one of the residents in Rosewood House I’m extremely happy with the care that she receives. The staff are very professional and caring. They have shown such professionalism during the COVID 19 pandemic keeping all the residents safe and keeping the families updated with what is happening
within the home.
Keep up the good work.

My wife moved to Rosewood House from a challenging behaviour unit. At first, I was worried would she accept the change, would the care be at a level previously received. I would just like to say Rosewood staff are amazing, the wife is extremely comfortable and relaxed and gets very pampered. Nothing
seems too much bother from carers to management all make both my wife and I at home. Food is top-notch, place is immaculate from room to social areas to gardens. Did I mention how caring and professional the carers are? This is a care home above others, well done and thank you.

My mother-in-law has been in Rosewood for nearly 7-years. The staff do a fantastic job; they work so hard and are very friendly with warm hearts. The manager is very, very good at her job, makes sure all is done right and has done fantastic throughout this coronavirus for everyone in Rosewood. Well
done staff, keep hard work up!

As soon as we entered Rosewood, we had a good feeling about the place.
The staff/team are excellent.
Over the 2.5 years my mum was there, the staff had changed, but the feeling and friendliness always remained.
Also, excellent medical care.
I would like to name some of the staff, but I won't in
case I miss someone out.
This is an excellent, caring place for your loved one.

My grandma is in Rosewood, the staff are very friendly, and it is a lovely care home. I have been able to speak to my grandma on the phone through the covid 19 viruses, and it is so hard not seeing my grandma, but the staff have been wonderful in letting me speak to her any time of day. Also, it is
wonderful news that we will be able to visit now.

My 93-year-old auntie was suffering from age-related dementia when she entered Rosewood House, and now I call her the born again woman. She has settled into the home very well and enjoys the home-cooked meals, sponge cakes, and puddings. She enjoys all of the activities, which include art, armchair
keep fit, and many more, but her favourite is singing along to all of the old songs. She enjoys the company of the residents and the busy life in the home.
The staff are amazing, caring, and compassionate to the residents and know them all by name. It's peace of mind for me to know she is in a wonderful, clean home, being looked after by dedicated staff who genuinely care for her.

What a fantastic place to have your mother live. During this time of uncertainty and concern, I have been kept fully up to date by the care home at Rosewood. The staff are so welcoming and helpful as well as being caring and very professional. I know that my mother is in the place where she is happy

Most of all mam has been very happy and content. There is always lots of activities and entertainment, something for everyone. This is

Mam has been in Rosewood for nearly four years. From the very first day we knew we had made the right choice. All of the staff are friendly, thoughtful and kind to both Mam and to us her family. During this very worrying time they have continued with their excellent care, keeping us well informed by
telephone and letters about the situation in the home. We have even had photographs of Mam which help us as we have not been able to see her since the beginning of lockdown. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rosewood to any family who are looking for a care home for their relatives.

My father has been a resident for over 12-months now due to his dementia needs. During that time, every member of staff has engaged with him to make him feel safe in his anxious moments and care for him when he's not able to do so. They have included him in as many of the activities as possible and
he's settled and happy. This gives the family a great sense of relief to know that he's surrounded by people who care for him as if he was their own relative. This fact is born out on my many visits to see my father, its lovely to see him laughing and joking with the staff.
The home is clean and well maintained with a lovely courtyard garden with seating benches around its perimeter. My father's room is clean, bright and suits him perfectly.
The home has a very welcoming feel from the moment that you enter the premises. The staff are friendly and always available to help.
I want to express my gratitude to all the staff for the amazing work that they doing; well done.

Reply from Sharon Chisholm, Manager at Rosewood House

Thank you, Karen, your words are very kind and we all appreciate them, our staff are amazing and they continue to dedicate their time to all our residents.

My man has been in Rosewood for a number of years now. From the day she went in, we have had peace of mind knowing that she is being well looked after day and night. The staff are all kind and friendly and go out of there way to do anything for mam and ourselves. In fact, so much so that they even took
the time and effort to take a photo of my mam and write a letter telling us how she was doing as we have not seen her for three weeks because of the lockdown.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.253)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.253) out of 10 for Rosewood House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Rosewood House is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.253 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rosewood House is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.128

  • 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.
