Mum has been a resident for only a couple of weeks, but we can safely say her care has been nothing short of exemplary. The management team are extremely efficient and go out of their way to keep us in the loop. Overall, we are extremely satisfied.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it. Your lovely comments will be passed on to the rest of our wonderful team.
My husband seems very happy there. He was very agitated at home. I am greatly pleased he is in such a nice place with wonderful staff and activities. He has a routine, enjoys his food and all his health care is dealt with.

I have been so impressed with the care my dad has had at Rotherlea Care Home. The team are so kind, supportive, professional and caring for Dad since he arrived over six months ago. Dad has dementia and the team at Rotherlea have put our minds at ease with their efforts. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who has an old relative that can't manage on their own anymore.
Thank you for your kind comments, our team strives to achieve the best possible care and support for all of our residents. We are so pleased to here that your dad has settled in so well. Your feedback will be passed onto the team.
My dad wasn't in Rotherlea very long but the care from all staff was above excellent, All the staff couldn't have been more sensitive and understanding to his and our needs too. It's not the look of the home that matters but the staff that work there, they are genuine through and through and really...
I cannot recommend this home highly enough and until you have had dealings with care homes you won't understand.
There are good and bad everywhere, this is definitely one of the good ones.
Thank you care staff and management from all my family you made the transition easier.

My sister has been very well looked after during the last four months after Rotherlea took her in when another care home found her too challenging. She is much happier now as the staff have reassured her, and she feels safe, calm and "at home". Recently when her treasured necklace and bracelet were left behind at a hospital after a hip operation, one of the staff went out of her way in her own time to retrieve them for her. We are very grateful to Rotherlea, and the whole family enjoys looking at the photos of activities that are put on the Facebook page.

The staff there have great manners and give out great kindness and support just like the residents are their own friends. Which makes me extremely happy. The activities that are going on are great especially with this silly virus. There is still various amounts of activities going on and safely too. Very pleased with this home, and will definitely recommend this service.

The management team are approachable and caring and the carers are mostly excellent I feel the home has managed the situation extremely well. My mother has been well looked after throughout.
The room never clean, resident not very clean or tidy. Bathroom each time I've been in to visit dirty. Food not very good that I have seen.

Since my mother has been a resident her overall mental and physical wellbeing has improved considerably. I put this down to the care and friendliness of all the staff who have made her feel literally at home. Her room is an adequate size and she enjoys the activities and the food.

Items that need washing should be more thoroughly monitored as several items of clothing have been mislaid in the period of November to end of January when my husband has been there.
The fingernails are painted but never cut.
Other than that, I am very happy with the care given.

Alas, there appears to be little in the way of activities and nothing offering mental stimulation. Alongside this I recognise the difficulties in obtaining suitably qualified staff and the problems of waiting for a criminal records check.
The transition from daycare to residential care seems to have gone very smoothly.

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.
In October 2025 I proudly took on the role of Service Manager at Rotherlea. I continue to support both the residents and staff that we care for, making sure everyone feels valued and supported in our services.

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.
