I recently had the exceptional pleasure of visiting my friend at The Rowans Care Home, and I was truly impressed by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into a warm and friendly environment that immediately put me at ease. The home was spotlessly clean, with a fresh and calming
atmosphere throughout.
What stood out most was the kindness and professionalism of the staff. They were not only attentive and caring toward the residents but also genuinely friendly and approachable. It was clear that they take great pride in their work and treat everyone with respect and compassion.
The Rowans Care Home feels like a true home from home-a place where residents are well looked after and valued. It's reassuring to know that my friend is in such good hands. Highly recommended to anyone looking for quality care in a supportive and clean environment.

My husband has been in The Rowans for about six weeks now. We've found it to be very friendly, from reception to the carers on the household. Its very clean and my husbands room is excellent. My only criticism is that I would like the carers to engage more with the residents on a one to one, but other
than that it's a very well run care home and I would recommend it.

Entrusting the care of a loved one to someone else is a massive decision, but the moment I stepped foot into the Rowans I just knew it was going to be the right place for Mum.
Everyone treated her with dignity, respect, care and genuine affection. In her final days she was kept comfortable and pain
Everyone treated her with dignity, respect, care and genuine affection. In her final days she was kept comfortable and pain
free.
Mum was bed bound but the staff checked in on her regularly throughout the day to make sure she was ok or just for a chat. For those residents able to use the communal areas, there are loads of great activities and there is a lovely atmosphere.
The home is spotlessly clean and the food is amazing.
Every member of the team I met was absolutely lovely and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Rowans.

I had a lovely experience in this home. The environment is always neat and welcoming. I didn't feel I was in a carehome when I visited. The team members were cheerful and amazing even when we stopped by late at night to drop off our friend.He seems really cheerful to be back home. Nice staff,lovely
ambience,great place to sit and have a cup of tea with family.

If you are looking at nursing homes.
You will not be disappointed.

My mum has been in another care home for three years, she moved to The Rowans mid December, in that time the difference in her has been unbelievable, she is smiling, talking and just overall in such a better place in herself, she is more relaxed and nowhere as near as anxious as she was. The staff are
outstanding they go above and beyond to make life the best it can be for my mum, I was constantly worried when she was at the old care home l was phoning daily and visiting daily. Now even though I call as often as I can I have no worries whatsoever when I am not there because I know Mum is being cared for so well, she is cleaner, happier, even her shaking has subsided so much and I really think this is due to her feeling more at home. I cannot recommend The Rowans enough if you have a family member who is in need of support don’t look further than The Rowans, you won’t find anywhere better as a place and the staff are amazing Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My dad has been in The Rowans for just over 4 weeks, and I have seen a massive difference in him in that time. Dad was frail and lost his confidence, he’s put on half stone in that time, eating everything they give him and his sense of humour has come back, all the staff say how funny and witty he is
which makes me very happy. Before dad went into Rowans I was visiting him every day and staying for many hours, and now I don’t feel guilty leaving after a couple of hours and having a day off, because I know he is being looked after like royalty, if anyone is looking for a place for their love one The Rowans is the best place.
