Review of
Rowans Care Centre
from Ray B (Husband of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

After spending 2 or 3 weeks in hospital, they decided that my wife needed some palliative care and immediately recommended Rowans. Even from the first minute I could tell that the Rowans was a place that could offer kindness and care to my most wonderful wife. To be experiencing the few remaining days

of Alzheimer's is really terrible time for all concerned, for both patients and love ones. It is hard not to mention individual names but the attendant nurses and other staff showed incredible care whatever their role. All of my wife's family were so happy to notice the involvement of each member of staff, no matter what their duty was. A cup of tea was always presented to visiting friends and each person we met showed great kindness and concern not only for my wife, but for all her visitors. During one evening I happened to be waiting (unknown) whilst the nurse was attending to my wife's comfort. I was so grateful to experience such personal and loving care. Although albeit for a relatively short period of time. Thank you to all the staff from Rowans. We all could see the wonderful kindness by all members of staff.

Overall Experience

Husband enjoyed the food. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Everywhere (rooms and public places) was clean and pleasant and well maintained. Would have liked husband to have had more walking about to keep his mobility levels okay but realise staffing levels may not have been able to provide

this.

It was lovely to have your husband stay with us at The Rowans and we are glad he enjoyed his stay. We hope to see you both in the future if needed.

Rowans Care Centre
from J C (Niece of Resident) published on 7 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Clean, warm and welcoming. Usually offered a drink and cake on arrival. Food looks and smells delicious. Sadly a lot of the residents seem to always be sat in wheelchairs, in the dinning room with nothing to stimulate them. There seems to be no activities on a regular basis. Christmas seems to be the

last time the residents had any kind of entertainment. The games cupboard has very little equipment to encourage table games being played with the residents. Not enough physio for for residents that could do with more. Eating plans need reviewing as some residents may not need their food purified.

Since mum joined the residents at the Rowans, we feel we have an extended family. The staff and management team are very caring and understanding of mum needs, mum has Parkinson's and Parkinson's dementia and has other needs which the staff are always there to help her with.
As a family we feel we

My mother-in-law has been cared for with dignity for about 20 months, since June 2023, in the Rowans. The staff look after her very well and the food is always nice. Nothing is too much trouble and all the staff try to meet her needs. They always have her safety at the forefront and try their utmost

to keep her as content and comfortable at all times.
Thank you for all you help, care and best wishes.

from K B (Son of Resident) published on 10 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

A very friendly cheerful home, all staff from kitchen, cleaners, carers and managers are friendly polite, and efficient. Sometimes my mother has to wait for attention but never long enough that I have to go looking for staff. The grounds need to be tidier but this is a small point but would be nice

to see it improved plenty of car park availability at the home with spaces for your car at a very local shop if needed, overall I would recommend the Rowans, good value, great care, well done!

from Helen H (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Mum was fortunate to get a place at the Rowans Care Centre for intermediate care following hospitalisation. We realised that her frailty meant that a permanent care home would best fulfil her needs and mum has now moved to a lovely spacious room and is settling nicely. The staff are wonderful; very

attentive to her needs, very caring and kind and can't do enough for her. We are kept well informed of all developments; kept well in the loop. It has been an enormous relief to me as her carer for the last 10 years! Thank you all!

My 95-year-old mother was admitted to hospital after breaking her left hip. She was transferred to the Rowans Care Centre after 5 days. She was very fragile, unsteady and didn't eat or drink much. She is quite difficult to deal with. She slipped away quietly at the Rowans. Care was satisfactory.

My life in Rowans Care Home is very good. I am really well looked after and cared for by very nice staff, who make sure all my needs are met and make time to chat with me. My room is light, airy, spacious and and kept very clean. Menus are well thought out and there is always enough choice, even if

I would like something different. Residents' special celebrations are done with a lot of thought, consideration and hard work. Thank you! I would like more crafts/arts/activities on the timetable please. It would also be good if recycling could be done on-site.

A very friendly and caring environment which is difficult to fault. Inside, the home is very light and spacious and generally well maintained. The staff are always very friendly and attentive.
The grounds are not quite so well maintained but it is clear that money is spent where it is most needed -

on the inside and on care.

I can only pass on positive feed back from my experiences of all aspects, areas and departments of the home. The staff are all very approachable, friendly, competent, caring, patient, experienced and go above and beyond their line of duties to ensure residents feel at home. I am extremely happy that

my Mother in law is in their care and feel reassured on every level. Well done to everyone! I'm very grateful. I know as her previous carer for many years just how much hard work is involved!

from D C (Resident) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Initially when arrived at the home from hospital, staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are large, well maintained, and well equipped. Daily cleaning of your room with excellent attention to detail. Handful of care staff are very friendly and a credit to the home, along with a number of nurses,

as cannot do more for you. Only downside here is not all staff are as caring and focused on your needs required. Food and drinks are available at all times, and if there is something you fancy that isn't on the menu they will do there best to accommodate. Only issue is, I found hair within the food a number of times. Activities are an area of improvement needed, as didn't really witness many happening, or tended to be the same repeated handful of activities only. Manager could be more hands on and visible on the floor of the home day to day, as often spend most time in the office. Overall the home needs areas of improvement, which is a shame as few staff are an asset and keep the home going

Mum has been a resident in Woodhurst Care Centre for about 6 weeks now. She has settled in very well. I can't thank the staff enough for the care and support Mum is getting. She has even gained about half stone in weight (thanks to one staff member in particular). Everyone is so welcoming. I can't fault

anything with the care Mum is receiving. She is so well cared for and is safe. Thanks to all the staff.

Overall Experience

From the first visit to the Rowans Care Centre, one staff member in particular and the team were very pleasant and helpful showing us around and explaining all that any patient requires. Mum arrives and was welcome and soon settled in to lovely care home. Mum was a little nervous of the new environment

and one staff member in particular took the time going the extra mile to reassure mum and that was very much appreciated along with all other team members. They all shine and look after all at the home. It's a truly amazing place with very hardworking staff. Thank you, you made our mum's experience perfect and lovely.
