Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident at Admiralty care home in Wigmore Gillingham for more than three and a half years and I visit her almost every day. I find the staff to be very friendly and caring and they greet me in a most welcoming way. The management team is approachable and reactive when required. In

addition, there is a good range of stimulating social interaction. The home is fragrant and clean and parking is an acceptable part of the overall package.

Review from Anne B (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother 98 had been in Admiralty since November 2024 after suffering from Dementia and having had a slight stroke when it became impossible for her to live independently. From day one she settled in and this was due to the care that she received from the lovely carers and the home Manager. The home

has gone through a complete renovation and provided a lovely upgraded environment for the residents. Majority of the residents eat an excellent lunch in the dinning room everyday cooked fresh by the kitchen team, who are so obliging to individual needs. Then various activities are provided daily which I must say I've joined in numerous times and are great fun and give the residents pleasure.to take part if they wish. The care team in mums case were absolutely amazing they actually loved her and she them the bond she had formed with them for me as her daughter was so appreciated to know they took care of her as I wanted her to be cared for and I visited her every day.

Review from A M (Brother of Resident) published on 9 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Overall Admiralty Care home have been good, the daytime staff are very good and have a good rapport with my relative. My relative feeds back that the food is very good and the staff very kind.
On the down side it seems to me that the night staff are not so attentive as when my relative phoned me to

tell me she was not well, we found that they were slow to respond and did so after I phoned twice to get them to action, eventually I had to take matters into my own hands and call an ambulance.
Also I have concerns regarding my relatives personal hygiene and concerns regarding the fact that she has had scabies for several months and that only recently has PPE been put into place.

Overall Experience

The staff are excellent , friendly and welcoming .
My mother in law receives good care however I think it is a shame she doesn't appear to be wheeled into the communal areas anymore and is always in her room .
I understand that this may be as a result of her not understanding and a reluctance to

be moved but we feel it would enhance her day if she could "
Join in" with some of the activities
I never see her in the photos on the social media site. It is always the same residents

Review from D F (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am the daughter of a resident at Admiralty care home. Overall happy with the care provided. Located near our family and provides care for the elderly with dementia.
The home has undertaken a lot of positive changes in the past year.
On the whole the staff are friendly, more care staff needed

as understaffed and overworked. Doesn't seem to be good staff to resident ratio.
Home is kept adequately clean, there is room for improvement.
Activities are well organised, residents seem to enjoy taking part.
Rooms vary, mum's is a good size with views over the lovely garden where in the warmer moths is a good place to sit, more fresh air always good, as would outings.
Food always looks good and tasty with a varied choice, the dining area is roomy and bright.
Communication with the management team is good and queries addressed.
Would recommend the home and grateful for the care provided

Overall Experience

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank your staff for all their help with mum today. As requested, she looked lovely for her trip out to the hospital and when she saw her daughter later in the day, she commented on how well she looked. We greatly appreciated this as her youngest daughter has

been quite unwell for some time now and seeing her mum look so healthy gave her a real lift. The care staff helped us manoeuvre mum into the car and we learnt a lot from the techniques that were used, and we are hoping that this will result in us being able to take her out more often. Please pass on my thanks to your wonderful team who always treat mum with care and respect.

Overall Experience

My dad had been a resident at Rogers House Care Home for over four years until his death in 2022 (July). He was always treated with dignity and the utmost respect. Not always the most op-operative of residents. He was always clean, fresh, dressed and cared for beautifully. His room was always clean

and tidy smelling fresh and comfortable. Every single member of staff were friendly, supportive, accommodating and professional throughout Dad's time in the home, towards both him and his family. As dad deteriorated and his Alzheimers/Dementia took him away from us Rogers House became his home, safety and family, something we were forever grateful for. Thank you.

The staff in its entirety must be commended for their hard work, compassion, and commitment in these difficult times. I can honestly say that my mother has never been cared for more affectionately or attended to more thoroughly than now. She really is very very content and we as a family are eternally

grateful. We cannot thank the staff enough. Their dedication to the happiness of the residents in their care is beyond admirable.

Overall Experience

Mum has been well cared for since moving to Rogers House during lockdown in October 2020. Unfortunately, covid meant that visiting was limited till earlier this year but overall mum seems happy in Rogers House. Staff shower her every day and she is quite happy with the food and also takes part in as

many activities as she is able to. The manager keeps us informed of any changes to procedures as a result of covid including visiting arrangements and any lockdown consequences. Unable to fully review some areas as, due to covid, not seen the home in full.

Review from Ian N (Nephew of Resident) published on 13 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Rogers House was recommended by an independent 3rd party, who lived locally, when we were looking for a respite stay for our aunt. She settled well during her respite stay and expressed her liking for Rogers House. Thus we were pleased to secure a permanent residency when it was needed last year. Our

aunt is very happy at Rogers House. She has been looked after well, enjoys the company of the other residents, uses the facilities for socialising and responds positively to thoughtful/sensitive care when occasionally reluctant to do something. Not everything is perfect but if there is a minor breakdown in the services provided by Rogers House (e.g. occasional delay in responding to an e-mail) it is no different to those experienced in our own lives outside of the care system. Indeed the staff always try to respond promptly to our concerns if and when they arise. In overall terms, we are very pleased with Rogers House and the team, especially given the extra work posed by Covid-19.

Review from G P (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

It's a very homely home and the staff that I have dealt with seem helpful and cheerful. Mums general appearance could be better but I know she gets dressed before the carers have time to get to her in the mornings. Maybe the evening would be better for her to have showers and hair wash. Mum does put

on dirty clothing so I think these need to put in her laundry basket in the evening too. I think the long COVID lockdown has definitely made her more confused and needs a bit more help.

Review from A S (Brother of Resident) published on 9 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Due to covid we have had limited access to my sister who has only been in the home since August 2020. Therefore unable to comment on food/drink/activities. Communication from the management is poor and weak, in the main, this is driven by the family. The care staff are good but poor management structure

appears to make it difficult for staff to provide the full level of care. Nine times out of ten my sister appears to be dressed in clothes not provided by the family and are food-soiled. I also have concerns around her mental state of mind, it also seems difficult to get her medication/treatment correct. We would welcome further assessment/medication review in order to make my sister more comfortable.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Rogers House for just over two years. During that time we found the level of care she received to be excellent. The staff were very kind to Mum and I always found them to be very positive. The last three months of her stay were quite challenging after she fells and broke

her pelvis, but Rogers House stepped up the level of care she needed and provided her with a hospital bed and a downstairs room which enabled myself and my brother to visit her and spend valuable time together during her final days.
