Review from Linda A (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum's admission to a care home was sudden following another fall at home and subsequently being advised that she needed someone around night and day. Mum said she would like to try Romans as a friend had been happy there for some time. She is now happily settled there and has become a permanent resident. Sarah and all the care team have been so welcoming and made the transition much easier for both mum and us her family. We have seen mum change from struggling to cope at home and too frightened to go into the garden alone to the more confident mum she used to be. She enjoys the company and has been on an outing. Being a smaller home the atmosphere is more homely than hospital, clean comfortable and hats off to all the brilliant staff who are helpful and friendly.

Review from Sallie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has been at Romans nearly 5 years and is still happy and content there. Several weeks ago, Mum became seriously ill but did not want to go into hospital. The Staff/Carers looked after her beyond their remit, and had the patience of Saints! Mum has now made a significant recovery, and the staff continue to encourage and support her. They are so kind and friendly and treat her with respect and dignity.

Mum is mostly happy with the food and hopefully will enjoy participating in the quizzes again soon, as well as the Church visits and communion service. The regular residents' meeting, to discuss and iron out any issues and generate ideas from the residents, is a very positive aspect. We are so grateful that Mum feels she is in her 'home from home'.

Reply from Sarah Mainwaring, Manager at Romans Care Home

Thank you for the feedback. With so many changes in care now, carers are going above and beyond and pleased that the staff have been acknowledged for this.

Review from Marion b (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum went into the Romans for respite care . She was afraid of being alone at night , she had lost the will for self care and was eating little . Her mental state was awful and she felt she had no reason to continue living .
Since her stay ( now almost 2 months ) she has regained some confidence, is eating well and has made friends . The difference is amazing.
I see happy staff and a clean environment, I see enriched living with visiting churches and activities .

She wants to stay now . Thank you

Everything is satisfactory, and the staff are very professional. My brother is well looked after and seems happy when I visit him. He could do with some help to get some shoes from the NHS, he only has slippers. Overall we are very satisfied with his care.

Mum moved to Romans 9 months ago and is so much happier and relaxed.

The staff team are very caring and supportive and the cooks make every effort to make sure everyone has food they enjoy.

As soon as you walk in it has a very nice feel to it.

Mum is very happy here, The staff are all fantastic, friendly and helpful, always have time to say hello and for a quick chat. The home is well appointed and well maintained inside and out, always clean and tidy and fresh. There are a good range of events for the residents, family and friends are welcome. The food is very good, particularly their summer barbeques! I would not hesitate to recommend the Romans.

Overall Experience
Our family have witnessed a huge improvement in mum's general wellbeing since she has been in the care of the wonderful team at Romans. She enjoys the quality of the food and participates in quizzes and other events. The staff know her well and are always helpful, fun and encouraging. She loves going out in the garden in the summer.

Most importantly for us, we know that mum is safe and cared for in the best place she could be.

Review from Melanie W (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Dad is settled and his needs ate taken care of. I feel happy knowing he is safe and content. He likes the company, entertainment, church services and food. His room is warm, bright and comfortable. The staff are helpful, caring and friendly. On the negative side, sometimes his clothes go missing in the laundry and he ends up with someone elses', but he doesnt seem to mind and sometimes we are late to hear news eg if he's had a fall or if he's given medication but this is not an issue to be raised. Overall we are happy.

Difficult to asses needs and care if not a relative, also the home has very religious leanings and some are non-believers and may not look to attend prayers etc. Otherwise pleasant staff and facilities.

Overall Experience

The Romans is an excellent care home for residents to live in their later years. Everyone is treated so well by caring staff and management and the needs of each individual are considered well. My mother informs me that the food is excellent and there is always plenty of choice. My mother's own room, the lounge and dining room are all kept extremely clean. There is a lovely garden where the residents are able to sit when the sun is shining. On arrival when visiting my mother, I am always greeted with a smiling face from the staff member on duty. I am very my mother is now living at Romans.

The Romans is a welcoming, friendly care home. It always smells clean, staff are kind and helpful and remember my name. My auntie is well cared for and happy. She tells me the food is delicious. They are so attentive to the residents and visitors alike. I'm also brought a chair and offered tea, coffee, cake etc. They have BBQs, quizzes, coffee mornings and many activities for their residents and families.

I'm so impressed with Romans Care Home. My mother was taken in for respite care and she's still there three months later. The management and staff are kind, respectful and clearly happy at work. There are plenty of activities and the food is great! All needs are taken care of with the respect for each individual. It feels like home, not just a care facility. Mum wants to live there permanently!

Overall Experience

I came here for respite care for two weeks. I have put on weight. Doctor wanted me to come because I lost weight and I was a bit frail. I live on my own, no family, only good friends. I am going home Tuesday 30th April. Feeling much better. Also have ulcerated legs. They pushed me in a wheelchair to surgery to have my legs dressed.

Overall Experience

Dad has been a resident at the Romans for the past 18 months and initially found it difficult to accept help. The staff have always been kind and friendly, always a smile and a reassuring word whenever I visit him. He agrees that he is very well cared for and cannot fault the home and the people working there. It is a huge relief to know that he is safe, happy and is being well looked after. A huge thank you to everyone at the Romans for all that you do.
