Review from C S (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Based on my visits and communication with the home, dad always seems happy and content. He has been a resident for 3 and a half years, so it means a lot to me that he is looked after so well. He has a few health problems and staff appear very attentive.

Overall Experience

My mum has recently moved into Rochester Care Home and so far, me and my wife are extremely pleased with the friendly care staff, the cosy homely feel and how kindly they are treating mum, they involve her in activities and chores which is just what my mum needs. You can tell that the staff genuinely love their job and those they're caring for.

Overall Experience

My dad has dementia and Alzheimer's and my mum is his carer, but my mum had a massive stroke and we needed to put my dad in care. The manager and her staff were amazing, so kind and compassionate. My dad has settled and we think it may be his long term home.

We had to put my father into emergency respite care as our mother (his full-time carer) was taken into hospital. The management and staff were absolutely brilliant and continue to be so.

Mum has improved on her wellbeing. Over a year ago when I came she appeared frightened it is really nice to see how she has settled, happy and put on weight. She appears to be engaged in conversation with her family and other residents.

Overall Experience

I feel that my mum is extremely happy in her care home, she says that she feels everybody has their arms wrapped around her! That's because the carers quite often do. All of her needs are catered for and I do not have any concerns regarding her welfare.

Overall Experience

Very recently my mother moved into the home. She received the warmest of welcomes from staff and management upon her arrival. Staff have shown her much kindness and she seems to have settled. Having been there on 2 occasions at meal times, the food looked good with generous portions being served. Staff are polite and helpful.

Review from M M (Friend of Resident) published on 5 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I think all members of staff are very kind and helpful.
The atmosphere in the home is pleasant although I feel that the patients would benefit from more activities and maybe some background gentle music now and then.

This is both soothing and helps stimulate the brain.

Overall Experience

My friend feels so safe and secure. She would recommend it to anyone! She was afraid of coming into care and didn't want to lose her independence but has found she has new independence. Staff appear excellent, always busy and engaging with residents and visitors.

Review from Graeme B (Son of Resident) published on 15 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum is treated with compassion and respect which is so important to me. I am delighted to say that in many ways my mum has blossomed as she gained more confidence. I can see that my mum is popular with all the carers and that means the world!

I have been present when there have been activities going on and have loved seeing her join in.

Overall I am so relieved that my mum has settled into life at the home.

Review from J T (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother lived at Rochester Care Home from July 2018 until March 2019. Her care was exemplary and given by very caring and patient staff. No task was too difficult and always undertaken willingly and with tenderness. The home is clean tidy and welcoming and all the staff are very pleasant. I would highly recommend the home.

Overall Experience
Not only have the staff cared for my mother with kindness and patience they have also shown me the same kind of care.

Sometimes dementia can cause extreme upset to family members all the staff at Rochester Care Home have had time to make sure I'm ok as well as tending to my mum's needs. My mother has now moved for end of life care and I have visited residents at Rochester and the team continue to show kindness.

Review from R R (Friend of Resident) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Have visited the home 3 times and on each occasion, staff have been very friendly and helpful. Everywhere looks clean and well kept. Residents all seem relaxed and happy.
The friend I know having always said she never wanted to leave her own home is now saying that coming into the home was the best thing she ever did. She has settled really quickly enjoys the food, the company and the feeling of safety and security.

Only improvements perhaps: chair in a room? The resident is disturbed by checks at night and wakes her up. Not sure if there's a way around this?

Review from Mary W (Friend of Resident) published on 15 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Today was the first time I visited the Rochester Care Home as my good friend has been very recently admitted there.
Obviously, I only have first impressions to go on, but I have to admit I found everything was in excellent order. The staff were friendly, caring and professional, the rooms were lovely, the whole place was nice and clean.

Primarily for me, the Rochester Care Home offers my friend safety and security, which she could no longer have if she went back to live in her house.
