From the first moment I set foot in Rose Cottage it felt different to any of the other homes I visited when trying to find a home for mum. It was warm, friendly and welcoming and it hasn't disappointed in the 12 months since. All the staff are great and they seem to make a real effort with activities
which mum enjoys.

Mum became a resident at Rose Cottage after being in hospital for over a month after a fall. She could no longer live independently, so we looked for a care home close by us. We were pointed in the direction of Rose Cottage, what a place! Staff were amazing, nothing to much trouble for them, friendly
smiling faces. Mum was on a dementia unit, looked after by some wonderful staff. Cannot knock this place, everyone was brilliant. Sadly Mum passed away but she had been cared for by some wonderful people who are passionate about their job. Thank you so much, we will be eternally grateful for all your help and support during a very tough time.
Many thanks.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageIt was a privilege to care for your mum.

Providing comfort and reassurances not only to our residents but also their loved ones is something our team care deeply about, and we are proud we were able to offer support at such a challenging time.

Mum is safe + appears content. This alone means a lot to us. She is dressed well and always clean. Staff always are happy and busy with activities for residents. She eats well and regularly. Drinks can sometimes be an issue as she needs prompting to drink. She loves, company but doesn't always want
to mix and needs encouragement. Staff are excellent.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you have had very positive experiences in the Home.

Mum has been a resident since early 2023, her care has been exceptional. From day one. Mum has full capacity and knows exactly who she wants, and when! This has caused a few little hiccups with one or two staff, however most of the staff/carers are very accommodating and love "gossiping" with mum. A
lot of the carers have worked there a long while, and now their children also work there - its a lovely little family where they treat everyone as individuals. If you want a homely, family care home, this is the place for you.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for your review. We pride ourselves on creating a warm family-like environment where residents and families feel safe, valued and truly at home. Our home is built on a strong sense of warmth and belonging with a family ethos at the heart of everything we do. Resident choice and comfort matter and we recognise choice as part of wellbeing and take this into account when planning care from our fully trained care team. We are invested in our residents thoughts, views and observations and I'm pleased to know this connection with your mum evidences compassionate, genuine care while maintaining boundaries and respecting confidentiality.

I have both parents residing in RC one in each unit. The care delivered is excellent, carers have good rapport with all they encounter and standards are consistently good with all staff members. Communication is excellent and frequent across all mediums. I have every confidence that my parents receive
high quality holistic care and myself and my family are always welcomed. I feel we work in partnership to achieve the best outcomes for my parents.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you for sharing your experiences of Rose Cottage especially as both your Mum and Dad live here. Person centred holistic care is at the heart of what we do. The consultation with yourself and knowing that you feel welcomed and a valued partner in your parents care especially as someone who actively cared for them prior to their moving to Rose Cottage is an intrinsic part of the care we offer at Rose Cottage and I am so pleased you highlighted this in your review.

I get the very strong sense that the whole approach and ethos of Rose Cottage of both its management and its carers is one that has the care, safety and the well being of the residents as the very top priority.
The devoted and friendly caring staff really to do care about the residents and look after
them with all the dignity and respect I would want to for my father.
It is good to know that my father is very well looked after, is safe and comfortable. Most important is what my father thinks and he says he is very happy and content at Rose Cottage. We both could not ask for more.
The only gripe is the very limited parking for resident visitors. The car park seems to be always full and rarely is there a space on site. That said, the village hall which is right next door has parking spaces.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for your review. We do have a rather small car park which is quite busy but we are working on a plan to try to increase the space and we are grateful to the village for the space in the village hall. Our residents happiness, care and safety are paramount and your kind words will be shared with the team as it means a lot to them to know your Dad is happy here.

My mother in law transferred to Rose Cottage as she was becoming unhappy at the residential home she was at. We couldn't ask for better care for her as we live a few hours away.
We are kept up to date with her needs and progress, receive timely emails and calls when needed and the staff are always
accommodating, friendly and caring.
My mother in law is so much happier now, enjoying the activities and the other residents company.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageIt is so lovely to hear what a positive transition this has been, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences of Rose Cottage. We want all our residents to be able to live an engaged and active life as they wish.

My mum went to Rose Cottage after being discharged from hospital on a palliative care plan. The care at the home was so good that mum lived there for just over 2 years. Throughout this time mum was looked after with great care, even though at times she could be very tricky and quite a forceful character.
The staff always treated her with compassion and dignity, always engaging with both her and myself. I can't thank all the staff enough for the care they gave my mum, especially towards the end when she became very poorly. During this sad period, the couple of days I spent with my mum were made more bearable by the staff allowing me to be with her at all times, nothing was too much trouble for them. I cherish the 2 extra years I had with my mum due to the wonderful care all staff at Rose Cottage gave her, I will especially remember sitting by the pond with mum having a cup of team and cake.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for sharing your experience of Rose Cottage. We are so proud of the team and know they cared very deeply for Mum and for you. Thank you for all your support of the Home and the cakes and cheese scones!

My aunts health had deteriorated at the end of last year, so I started researching care homes for her. My aunt was very sure she wanted to stay in her own home so she was added to the waiting list and invited to attend community sessions. She has now been attending these for a few months and although
not ready to move in, admits she enjoys attending and is happy to go again. The staff are very kind and go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and have all they need. It has been really good for my aunt to spend time with people of her generation and have time out enjoying the different activities.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for your lovely review of Rose Cottage.

My Mum lived at Rose Cottage for nearly three years. The care throughout that time was excellent, but was particularly so in the last few weeks of her life. The staff were amazing and all aspects of her care were delivered with great compassion and dignity. As a family, we were also looked after beautifully
which enabled us to spend those last precious weeks without any concerns apart from looking after and being with Mum.

We visited Rose Cottage over a year ago. My Dad was very impressed with the service but did not feel ready to move. Dad's name was placed on a waiting list. We were both impressed with the attitude and philosophy of Rose Cottage. Later, I supported Dad at Rose Cottage where he was welcomed to attend
activity sessions. A room became available and Dad had a six-week trial which was reassuring to him. Dad stayed. We as a family were extremely impressed with the whole of the service, everything about it is positive - staff are so caring and put the resident at the centre of their approach. Nothing is too much trouble. At Dad's first care review, he said "Well it's like paradise really". Personally, I have had an exceptionally positive experience at Rose Cottage and I would recommend it. We are truly grateful for the care, support, and understanding that Dad receives on a daily basis. Lastly, there is lots of fun and laughter at Rose Cottage - my Dad loves the conversations he has with staff.

From my first visit to Rose Cottage managers and staff were welcoming and supportive, encouraging us to visit regularly with Mum to help develop familiarity with the setting prior to a room becoming available. Mum moved in over two years ago now. We were impressed with the support offered to Mum to
help her settle in her new home, especially to me as I initially found the transition from full-time carer back to daughter a challenge. We feel that residents are looked after with love and kindness and treated with respect and dignity. Staff are friendly, open, considerate, and helpful and visitors are welcome. The activities team offers a range of activities throughout the week, catering to the different interests and needs of residents. As a regular visitor, I enjoy supporting the activities Mum joins in with as this gives us quality time doing something together. Mum's experience at Rose Cottage is positive and we are very grateful for the love and care she is shown daily.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for sharing your experiences at Rose Cottage and for offering such a considerate reflection on the staff.

My mother has been living at Rose Cottage since August 2023; we feel blessed to have found such a loving home for her. The staff learns to know the residents in detail, so recognise when someone's not feeling well, or needs help, even if they can't articulate that for themselves. A wide variety of activities
is on offer, from table games to armchair exercise to trips out to visits and performances from amongst the local community; and the menu always provides a good choice, with dietary needs (eg soft food) catered for. Visitors are always welcome, and for occasions like residents' birthdays, or for everyone at Christmas, they go to a lot of trouble to arrange special events.
The home is bright and comfortable - and has the best home-from-home atmosphere in a care home setting that I have seen. Nowhere is perfect; occasionally there are minor matters that need attention, but overall these are relatively unimportant. We trust our mum to the care of Rose Cottage with great confidence.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageWe know we are biased but our activity team are amazing! They are passionate about life beginning again and for residents to have active, meaningful, and engaging lives where they can take ownership of their environment and not be seen as passive recipients. We feel privileged to be entrusted with care of our residents and you sharing your confidence in your review means a great deal. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences.

When I first contacted Rose Cottage they were friendly and professional. They let me view the residence promptly and I was very impressed with what I saw. The home really is a home from home. It was welcoming and cosy. Not clinical but felt warm and friendly. They have a residential bit and a dementia
bit which is secure.
Once we had decided we wanted to choose Rose Cottage the transition was really smooth and I felt really supported.
The rooms are nice with lovely views of the gardens from each window. The entertainment is brilliant! They do so many lovely things with the residents but there is also no pressure to join in if it's not wanted.
I would highly recommend Rose Cottage to anyone looking into a care home.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for sharing your experiences. We are keen to meet face-to-face with anyone who is starting their journey into care and even if we are not in the right setting we will always try to offer advice and signpost those enquiring for their loved ones. I am so pleased you felt the transition was smooth and supportive as we appreciate the move into care can be daunting.

My mother is a resident at Rose Cottage and has dementia. She joined them in July 2024 after being cared for at home by family members and we grew increasingly aware of her declining health. We knew at once that we had made the right decision in placing her in the care of Rose Cottage. From the first
visit, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Some of the staff knew her and made her feel very welcome on her first day.
The manager and all the staff have been very supportive and any concerns have been dealt with quickly and professionally.
When my mother was unwell staff contacted me immediately and medical assistance was sought straight away. The communication by phone and email had been open and honest and I felt reassured by any concerns that I or other family members might have.
The change in my mother has been lovely to see and she in encouraged to take part in the daily activity programme that the home provides.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for sharing your experience of Rose Cottage. Residents who live with dementia can find it especially difficult to move to a new setting and we are so pleased this has been a positive experience. Thank you for your warm review of the care staff who are amazing, I will be sure to share this with them.

My uncle at ninety-six, having long refused to give up living alone in his bungalow, at last agreed to move into Rose Cottage. Within days he was a different man; happy, sociable, loving all the activities, greatly appreciating the delicious meals and not having to worry about his house and garden any
longer. The staff at Rose Cottage brought out the best in my uncle and he loved his time there. For the first time in his life, he had friends. The staff are very kind and caring. The home is clean (no bad smells!) and the gardens delightful.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for your kind words and support. I will make sure they are passed on to the staff, who had a real soft spot for your lovely uncle. Best wishes from all at Rose Cottage.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Care Coordinator Joined: 2016

I love Rose Cottage, it’s homely, all of the staff are passionate and genuinely care. Our staff stay for a long time and it feels like one big family. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and taking my dog for walks in the country.

Emma

Emma Johnson

Job Title: Activities Coordinator Joined: 2017

I have worked at Rose Cottage since 2017. Prior to that, I was a carer and a cook. I thoroughly enjoy my position here - it's my calling! I find my work very satisfying and fulfilling, spreading happiness and joy around the home. I enjoy encouraging independence and finding new skills with our residents, as well as remembering and making new memories. Our programme is fully informed by the residents, and it is very varied - from exercise to all sorts of crafts and even our own weekly religious service. We run a breakfast club and a supper club, which makes mealtimes more convivial. I also run the day centre at Rose Cottage, available for local people 65+ to drop in and enjoy activities and a meal with our community.

April

April Hutchcraft

Job Title: Care Coordinator Joined: 2012

I joined Rose Cottage nearly 15 years ago, working my way up from care assistant to senior carer and into my new role. I support the managers and the rest of the team to oversee care plans, liaise with healthcare professionals, check medication, do care reviews with families and supervise staff. I love the role - it is different every day and I enjoy making a difference to the residents' lives.

Edwina

Edwina Fisher

Job Title: Senior Care Assistant Joined: 2020

I joined as a Senior Care Assistant in 2020, and I've been in care for over 35 years. I support residents with their everyday lives, making sure they have the help they need to maintain independence and dignity. My favourite part of the role is without a doubt interacting with the residents - learning about their lives - you learn something new every day! I cannot imagine myself doing anything else but working in care and supporting residents to thrive.

Jason

Jason Bowers

Job Title: Maintenance Operative Joined: 2016

The best thing about my job is that I never know what the day will bring! Along with my other maintenance colleague, I support life at the home by ensuring systems are ticking, we are compliant with all safety regulations, and that residents' spaces are always functional, comfortable and welcoming. I have worked in maintenance for a while, and I also used to be a carer, and I like how my new role combines both aspects of my professional life.
