I thoroughly enjoy visiting my friends at Rotherleas, the home is always so clean and fresh, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the care that my friends receive is outstanding. I always enjoy coming when activities are on so that I can join in and be part of their community. The manager is always about with a smile on his face and nothing is too much trouble.
This is such a lovely review to read, thank you. We are so pleased that you and your friends love the activities that we put on at the home.

I came to see my friend here several times before she went. The staff were always so welcoming and offered me a cup of tea. My friend was so happy here and said that the food was good and they did some fun activities in which everyone could get involved in some way. The environment always looked clean and I always felt that she was well looked after. I would highly recommend Rotherlea to anybody needing this type of care.
Thank you for leaving us this lovely review about the care of your friend. We are so pleased to read that they are enjoying the food and the activities here at Rotherlea.
I could never complain about anything. Everything is wonderful.

After visiting my nan-in-law for the first time in the home, meeting some of the staff and other residents confirmed she is in the right home. The staff go above and beyond expectations. We recently celebrated our nan's 90th and can't thank you enough as not only did your chef create an amazing cake for her, but what seemed like the majority of staff came in to sing Happy Birthday. From what I have seen your staff are compassionate, and caring and are more like friends or family to the residents.
Thank you, this is such a lovely review to read! I will make sure to pass your kind words about the care of your loved one onto the rest of the team.
Rotherlea is a beautiful and caring home. My mother has blossomed since being here and the care the staff give her is first-class. The place is clean and tidy and I couldn't ask for a better place for my mum.

Thank you so much for leaving us a review about the care of your mother, the team will be touched to read this.
My uncle was admitted to Rotherlea in December 2022 until his recent death. I can't thank the manager and the team for their professionalism and compassion at such a difficult time. With no direct dependents to help, they supported me in every way they could, managing my uncles' needs with dignity,...
My uncle really thought of Rotherlea as his home from home and the manager and every single member of the staff and management team made his final years so happy. Thank you all for your care and commitment. He was so lucky to have you.

Our Grandad came into Rotherlea's care in August 2022, after a long stint in the hospital and other care homes struggling to meet his ever-growing needs. From the very start, we were incredibly impressed with Rotherlea and this is a testament to their wonderful staff and incredible managers. Knowing the desperate situation we were in, trying to find Grandad suitable care, one of the managers even came in on his day off to show us around- this only a small part of all the things he did to go above and beyond for us and our Grandad. They cared for Grandad right until the very end and were able to help us plan for Grandad to have a peaceful passing. The staff are all very experienced in working with people with dementia and this made Grandad's dementia journey more manageable for him and us. When Grandad passed, they did not stop caring for us as a family and helped us navigate the next steps. Thank you everyone at Rotherlea.
Thank you for this wonderful review, it really means a lot to the whole team.

Sadly we finally had to find end-of-life care for my father-in-law. What a minefield, nightmare hospital, next to useless. Miraculously Rotherlea were able to help and rescue us from our dilemma. The manager dealt with the whole process professionally, efficiently and was pragmatic in making it happen is what it felt like. Immediately Dad was discharged from hospital in a dreadful state, unhygienic which was embarrassing, not least heart wrenching. On arrival at the home, he was greeted, welcomed and made to feel valued immediately. Empathy, reassurance, excellent care and high standards are immediately recognisable. a most harrowing time has been made manageable. Family reassured and Dad settled, looks human and is treated as such. Thank you.
This is such a lovely review to read, thank you. It really means a lot to the team and we are so pleased to hear that your father-in-law is now settled and you and the family are happy with his care. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
At what is personally an incredibly difficult time, finding Rotherlea has been life changing. Not just for Dad, for all of us. Keep doing what you do, as you do, with the fabulous staff that you have. Thanks.

A lot of time is put into engaging the residents in various activities to help fulfil their days.
On a personal level, my mother is physically fit and can walk 2-3 miles per day which has kept her well. Understandably, this isn't always achievable for her now unless one of the family takes her out.
Thank you for leaving us this great review, it really means a lot to us. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Mum has dementia and Alzheimer's, all the staff at Rotherlea have shown their kindness and patience, especially throughout this transitional period with extended respite care, supporting her to stay settled in her new surroundings and routines.
It's lovely to see the photos on the website of Mum joining in with the daily activities, looking well and happy!
Thank you for this lovely review, we are so pleased that your mum is happy here and enjoying all of the activities. Your kind words will be passed on to the rest of the team.

Rotherlea is a happy, caring and welcoming care home. My husband has dementia and has had to move from a previous care home that could not meet his needs, Rotherlea has sensitively met these. The carers are all so very caring to him and make me feel so welcome when I visit him.

We are so pleased to hear this; it is so lovely to be described as happy, caring and welcoming. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask.
Every member of staff were so kind, considerate and helpful. This was a two week respite care and my husband was very happy. Everywhere was exceptionally clean and he enjoyed all his meals.

I joined Shaw Healthcare in 2018 at Warmere Court in an Administrative role, having previous support worker experience I soon picked up a Support Worker position then developing into a Team Leader position. I continued to develop with training provided by the company and in 2021 I progressed into a Deputy Manager role at Croft Meadow.

I started my journey at Shaw Healthcare in January 2014 as a support worker. I have worked through the ranks into a Team Leader position. The best part about working in healthcare is seeing the effect my work, compassion and dedication have on residents and their loved ones.
