After a long and difficult search, we found Gracewell of Frome. From the moment of our first meeting and discussions with the home, we had a good feeling! Staff were friendly, warm and considerate. The furniture, layout and ambience of the home were so far from the 'institutional' and dull that we had
been seeing. Before COVID, the list of activities was comprehensive, and even since lockdown restrictions the home has maintained and adapted to provide an engaging and stimulating environment for the residents.
Since COVID, Gracewell has to be commended for their diligence and meticulous planning to ensure the safety and well being of Mum. They have kept the resident's family closely informed and are always available to answer questions. Regular FaceTime calls with Mum, although not quite the same as seeing her in the flesh, has been a brilliant way of maintaining contact with Mum. Many thanks, Gracewell, hard though it was to put Mum in a home, it was the right decision to choose Gracewell.

Reply from Jemma Griffiths, General Manager at Rossetti House

Gracewell of Frome appreciate moving into a care home can be an unsettling time. This is why we take the time to engage with family members and friends of the resident to make the process as smooth as possible, to get to know the resident on a personal level. We are pleased your mother has settled in well.

All staff was extremely caring and Mum certainly feels she was well cared for. Mum went in during lockdown and we felt it was to be her permanent home as she was unable to cope at home. However, much to our delight was returned to health and now home. Although we know it was a difficult time for all,
the staffing levels were short with agency staff often. Unfortunately, the quality of food had deteriorated since her last respite stay three years ago.

My father has been a resident at Gracewell of Frome since 2018. We have found the care he receives, the dedication of staff and quality of surroundings to be excellent. My father considers Gracewell his home and is very settled, despite the current Covid-19 crisis.

Gracewell of Frome is an excellent home. They have taken great care of my father both before the outbreak of Covid-19 and during the crisis. They are always willing to help in any way they can. The home has excellent public facilities and lovely private rooms.

Personal care for both my parents has been exemplary and I am so very grateful. Even contact by phone from the sister in charge to me has been both reassuring and keeping me in the loop. My only criticism is from both my parents that the meals are sometimes tasteless and unattractive - so dependant
on the chef in charge. Meals are so important to the elderly and an important part of their routine.

Gracewell of Frome is a lovely residential home. As you approach the building, it is very pleasing on the eye. The setting is nice, as it is situated very near to a park with the river running through, which you can follow to walk to the town. When you enter the reception and bistro area, it has a nice,
relaxed feel. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are decorated very nicely and well furnished, including a wet room with washbasin and toilet. The garden area is well laid out and equipped for the residents to enjoy. The residents are offered a wide choice of activities including quizzes, bingo, jigsaws, singing and there is a cinema room. There is always a choice at mealtimes, the meals are very nice, and family and friends are able to eat with their loved one for a very small price. Drinks and snacks are also readily available. I feel that my Dad is very well looked after at Gracewell and is also very happy living there.

In general, I feel the care my mother receives is very good. The staff are polite, helpful and friendly. The surroundings are clean, bright and attractive. The main issue relates to the quality and selection of the meals provided. Sometimes supplies of basic foods run out, and I do have concerns that
the food is not as healthy and nutritious as it could be.

Mum spent a month at Gracewells for respite care after a bad fall. After the trauma and stress of 11-days in the hospital, she found it a calm, relaxing environment. Her ensuite room was spotlessly clean, quiet and well decorated; she was welcomed and made to feel at home. She felt she could rest and
take her time to recover. Mum is now home, doing well and is full of praise for the care home.

Gracewell provides an excellent level of care being very attentive to residents needs. Until the current pandemic family and friends were always welcome with a lovely garden to sit/walk in when the weather allowed. From what I have tried the food is very good, and there is always a super selection
of cakes, fruit etc available for residents to enjoy. The entertainment team really do try very hard to provide as much variety to life as possible. Picnics in the garden, concerts, visiting entertainments as well as hobbies for residents to become involved in. They do their very best to include those on the upper floors who might still be well enough to join in certain events. Alternatively, there are arrangements made for more suitable events to happen upstairs. Gracewell is situated opposite a park which leads to Frome town centre a ten-minute walk away. This has provided my mother with many enjoyable outings which maintain her feeling of independence.

My mum received high-quality care at Gtacewell of Frome. The staff were absolutely fantastic and were kind, patient and treated her with dignity at all times. I cannot fault any of the staff, although sometimes it felt that more was needed sometimes. Mum had to wait a little longer when she called them,
and she would have loved more time with the staff to chat. The food was a little inconsistent, but overall, I would absolutely recommend Gracewell.

Life does not prepare one for the talk of putting a wife into a care home. Gracewell of Frome was the eighteenth care home that I considered, and I felt at home at once. I was listened to, there was a 'can do' attitude, and the complexities of a very demanding process were clarified and eased for me.
My wife has been happy and well cared for by friendly, skilled staff, and her settling in difficulties was treated well. She could not be in a better place during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

My mother was at Gracewell for nearly four years and always said how lucky she was to be there. She had moved to Gracewell from another location, which was a big wrench, but with the support of the very caring staff, she soon settled and enjoyed making new friends, the wide range of activities and the
varied food options. It was her home! As she became more frail, her needs were met with great skill and compassion. For me, it was reassuring to know that from management to carers and cleaners - everyone was doing their best for her. It's an amazing staff team and I am so grateful to them all.

My mum has been at Gracewell a year now and the staff were excellent in helping her settle, which wasn't easy. They are always so welcoming and friendly to the families and treat the residents with kindness, care and respect whilst also being fun and light-hearted. The last 8-weeks with this horrible
virus and not being able to visit have been really hard but would have been even worse without the wonderful staff and management.

I've found Gracewell staff to ve very caring and patient with my father. During the Covid lockdown, they have gone above and beyond their remit to care for the residents and continued to do so putting their own health on the line. I would like to give both staff and management my heartfelt thanks.

Gracewell of Frome has an excellent reputation. When I could no longer look after my wife, who has advanced Alzheimer's. I visited Gracewelll with my two daughters, and we were most impressed by the general ambience of the home and the helpfulness of the staff. My wife has settled in quickly, and we
are confident she is in good hands. We made the right choice.

I had several very helpful meetings and phone calls with the staff of Gracewell of Frome, prior to my aunt moving in. We moved her in on 12th March, just prior to the Coronavirus lockdown. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful at all times, and have helped my aunt settle in very well - this
was very important as we were only able to visit her once more, because of stopping all visits. My aunt has been looked after with care and consideration of the highest standard.

My sister-in-law has been in three other care homes before Gracewell in Frome, and I can safely say that none was up to this standard. Being modern and purpose-built, it offers an exceptionally good environment and combined with a high standard of care. A lovely place to see out the rest of her life.

Early last year, after a couple of months in hospital, my 96-year-old father had to give up the good fight of looking after my 92-year-old mother at their home of over 30 years and accept they would have to move into a nursing home. We were so fortunate that we found Gracewell of Frome and that both
my parents could be accommodated, albeit on different floors due to their differing care needs. We cannot thank all the staff enough for the care, compassion, kindness and good humour they have shown to my parents and myself. My father passed away peacefully 3 months ago and we could not have asked for more support. My mother continues to be cared for at Gracewell of Frome. During these challenging times, the staff are going the extra mile in keeping residents and staff safe and communicating honestly and openly with residents' families, including arranging regular FaceTime between residents and their families. I cannot recommend Gracewell of Frome highly enough.

Firstly, please accept our sincere condolences for your recent loss and thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Gracewell of Frome – particularly at such a difficult time.

This is a lovely home with pretty surroundings, but the best thing about Gracewell; is the amazing staff! My dad has such wonderful care from the nurses and carers. They always know exactly what my dad has been up to, how he is feeling, how he has slept etc whenever I call. They really go the extra
mile to help with organising hospital appointments or phone calls. I feel happy knowing that he is so well looked after when I can't be there. Thank you, everyone!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Rossetti House 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.873 for Rossetti House is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 Rossetti House is based on 22 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 22 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.

Phil Vale

Job Title: General Manager

I’ve worked for some years in the care sector, including in care quality support roles. Prior to being General Manager here at Rossetti House, I was Head of Care at the home.


While there’s much to keep me busy in my job, by far my favourite part of the role is spending time with residents, particularly if we’re doing fun activities together. Enabling older people to enjoy life to the full is ultimately what each person who works here is passionate about – including me.


I look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful Frome home very soon and introducing you to our passionate, caring and skilled team.
