So lovely to see such wonderful care for all the elderly resident guests. From the sunshine shown on the desk, smiles were everywhere. This is not your average nursing home; the staff go out of their way to make this a real home.

The care of my Mother is superb and the Care staff are all wonderful and cheerful. If I have any concerns they are ready to talk to me. They are renovating the Home to a high standard and the range of activities have greatly improved since the arrival of Matt.

Most important Dad is made to feel important and is very happy.

Mum was admitted 8th April as an emergency admission. Administration and financial assessment was swift and efficient. Prior medical assessment was detailed and highly competent. Our plan had been a standard admission but as Mum was rapidly deteriorating care home accelerated admission. Mum was in nursing
wing for two weeks and at every stage we were extremely satisfied with the care, including the final end of life stage which was dignified. Difficult to find fault. Thank you.
Reply from Dawn Ross, Admissions & House Administrator at Rockdale HouseThank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words. We are pleased that the admission process, assessments, and transition into nursing care were handled smoothly during such a difficult time for your family. Your feedback will be shared with the team, who will truly appreciate your recognition. Thank you again for placing your trust in us at such an important time.

My husband went into Rockdale House in September 2025. He is bedridden but stillhas his mental faculties. He needs constant nursing care which is given by professional, caring and pleasant staff. He is content and I am grateful. The whole atmosphere in the home is positive and friendly which is most
important.

I would definitely recommend Rockdale House to anyone looking for a caring, fun place to live, either for themselves or for a relation. I loved the time I spent with my mother there over nearly three years until she passed away in December 2025. They looked after my mother very well and consulted the
family over any concerns or ideas they had for making her stay easier for her. The staff and carers became like an extended family, chatting to them and allowing me to join my mother in taking part in the activities when visiting her was such a blessing.
Reply from Dawn Ross, Admissions & House Administrator at Rockdale HouseThank you so much for your lovely words and recommendation. It means a great deal to all of us that you felt supported during your mother's time at Rockdale House

Rockdale Care Home has been part of our family since my mother moved in in 2015, and we've seen many changes over the years. Under the current management of Jo and her team, it has never been better. There is a real focus on continuous improvement, and it shows.


A major positive change is the consistency

of staff-now mostly permanent, creating a warm and familiar environment, unlike before. The activities programme is excellent, with engaging and well-planned activities that have greatly improved residents' quality of life.


The carers are compassionate and professional, maintaining high standards of care. Cleanliness and food are consistently excellent. The admin and reception team are always welcoming, efficient, and helpful.


Overall, Rockdale is now a well-run, caring home, and we feel confident our mother is in very good hands.

Reply from Dawn Ross, Admissions & House Administrator at Rockdale HouseThank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we look forward to continuing to provide the highest standard of care and support.

My Mum has been at Rockdale House for 3 and a half years and I really cannot fault the care she has received. All the staff are very professional, friendly, caring and attentive. They keep me regularly updated regarding any issues or referrals that may need to be made and when the need arises they
get support from the Home Treatment Team etc. On the occasions that my Mum's health has deteriorated they have gone over and above to provide the additional care she has required and even by checking in on her more regularly it is appreciated. It is comforting to know that she is being well looked after. The food menus always look very varied and I know that they ask for feedback from the residents and ask for any specific requests which is great. The activities also seem to have improved since an Activities Manager has been onboarded.
Thank you to everyone at Rockdale for keeping my Mum safe, well cared for and giving me peace of mind.

My mother has resided at Rockdale for five years now. During this period, she has had several episodes which we didn't think she'd survive. The extraordinary care given by all staff, whatever their role, is exemplary and has certainly aided my mother's recovery each time.
This home is definitely on
an upward surge, thanks to the vision and drive of the 'new' manager. There is an energetic activities team, new deputy and care managers who work tirelessly, a catering team who discuss menus with residents daily and a host of carers who truly care.
Rockdale is a kind and oh so happy place. I doubt that anyone dreams of ending their days in a care or nursing home but if you have to, you couldn't do better than Rockdale. Thank you to everyone who cares so dearly for my mother.

My father took up residence within Rockdale House following the passing of his wife, my mother. From the moment we first visited to his recent sad passing the staff and team were excellent always cheerful accommodating and glad to welcome visitors at all times.
On my regular visits there was always
a welcome smile from the reception team and very quickly a very friendly relationship grew.
The care team were always accessible and available to answer and questions I had.
The care given was always excellent and staff felt comfortable to call me if they had any concerns about my fathers health which was both reassuring and comforting.
There was never a time when a request was not actioned to the extent we managed to get dads old home telephone number connected to his room which was perfect.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Rockdale House as a place where relatives can be comforted that their nearest and dearest will be looked after in a kind and compassionate setting.

Communication between different members of staff could be improved. It depends who is on duty. The idea of walkie talkies is very noisy and upsets my family member. Could they be used more sensitively with thoughtfulness shows how they affect the elderly. But she also accepts that because of the geographical
nature of the building, walkie talkies need to be used. Could there be better training in more sensitive use of them please?
Reply from Dawn Ross, Admissions & House Administrator at Rockdale HouseThank you for your review. We acknowledge your concerns and we are currently in the process of changing our communications system, which should eradicate any issues. As you may expect this can take time to implement.

We can't thank the team at Rockdale enough for the incredible care and kindness they showed my aunt during her recent stay. From the moment she arrived, the staff made her feel welcome, supported, and genuinely cared for.
After her respite stay, she returned home looking and feeling like a completely
new person - truly 10 years younger! It's a testament to the exceptional environment, the attention to detail, and the warmth of everyone who works there.
The staff went above and beyond every single day, not just meeting her needs but making her feel part of a real community. The quality of care, the uplifting atmosphere, and the genuine compassion shown have made such a positive impact on her wellbeing.
We are incredibly grateful to Rockdale for giving her the time, care, and encouragement she needed. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding respite care.
Reply from Eleanor Prescott, Community Engagement & Marketing Officer at Rockdale HouseThank you so much for your kind words. We love our work, and making your aunt and the rest of our residents feel special is what gets us out of bed every morning. Your aunt is welcome back any time!
