Review from Corinne C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a lovely care home. My grandma became extremely unwell and was in a number of settings for the last months of her life. She was afraid to go to a care home but Rose Cottage turned it around for her. She loved the setting which was quiet, clean and the staff were friendly and flexible, as she
often would become confused and irritable - the staff were lovely and helped her as much as they could. She enjoyed the food very much and we could join her for meals whenever we liked. She also had her dog visit very often which wasn't a problem. She particularly enjoyed the puddings and put weight on which was excellent as she was skin and bone before she arrived.
The staff are very caring and there are certain touches which really make a difference. Such as, there is always someone to call on when you need help as a family member. My grandma has passed away now. Thank you Rose Cottage for her short stay. She missed her home so much but you made it as easy as it could have been.
Reply from Amanda Crawley, Home Manager at Rose CottageThank you for this heartfelt review on your grandmother's time with us, we are so pleased that it had a positive impact on her feelings towards residential care and that she enjoyed her time with us. I will pass this on to the staff who work hard to ensure each resident receives compassionate care.

The staff and management were so warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone took the time to get to know my mum and she really felt she had a place in the home. My mother could exhibit challenging behaviour but they were professional and calm and could always make her smile. She absolutely
loved the food, especially the trifle and put on weight while at the home. She was able to keep her beloved dog with her for the day as she wanted and he got lots of cuddles and treats.
Reply from Amanda Crawley, Home Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for your lovely review, we are glad your mother had a positive time with us at Rose Cottage and it was lovely to have Sam with us also. I will pass your comments onto the staff team.

My mother has been a resident of Rose Cottage now for 2 years. She has Alzheimers and Dementia. Over the time that she has been a resident, her needs have changed a lot. But the staff and management have dealt with her needs in a very caring and professional way. Most importantly keeping mum's dignity
intact.
The food is excellent and there is a choice of menu for midday and evening meals. Also most days the residents have activities that they can join in if they wish. And quite regularly trips out are arranged.
The home is clean and hygiene is a top priority, so when entering the home there are no bad odours. It is a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
The staff are very caring not only for the resident, but in my personal experience for the relatives as well.

Review from Simon B (Son of Resident) published on 1 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Of the ten or so care homes that I looked at in Feb 2017, Rose Cottage was by far the best option - I was impressed with the carer who showed me around and felt welcome. I thought the home was light and airy, clean and odour free, and the residents seemed content. I was particularly impressed by the
range and breadth of the activities programme and the number of activity coordinators. Nothing since has changed my opinion. My mother is happy, enjoys her food, has put on weight and is an active participant in activities. In the early summer, there was a lull in activities due to staffing issues but this has now been resolved and the programme is better than ever with many options available. She is well cared for and having dementia the staff are kind and sympathetic to her condition. I remain confident in the management, carers and activities staff - my choice of care home has been totally justified.
Reply from Amanda Crawley, Home Manager at Rose CottageThank you for your excellent review. We are pleased that you are happy with the new activities programme and that you feel your mother is receiving such good care. It is a pleasure to have your mother with us and we will pass your positive comments to the team.

My mother has been a resident at Rose Cottage for over eight years. As time has passed, her care needs have changed and the family cannot praise the staff enough for continuing to meet those needs and the sympathetic care she has received. Staff are friendly, cheerful yet very professional: they ensure
residents' dignity and well being is maintained and above all they show kindness. The food is excellent and help is given at mealtimes where it is needed. My mother has been so lucky to be living there.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Registered Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for sharing your feelings on the service Rose Cottage provides. Please be assured that your views will be shared with the staff so they too can be proud of what we are achieving.

Choosing a care home is never easy but Rose Cottage is an absolute gem.
It has managed to retain it's homely informal atmosphere, rather than being institutional. The grounds are an absolute delight, the communal rooms very cheerful and comfortable, the residents' rooms spacious and of a high standard.
Staff are friendly (love the fact that they don't wear uniforms), the food is great (was invited to join my mother for lunch) and there seems to be plenty of activities going on.
Reply from Jennifer Dade, Home Manager at Rose CottageThank you so much for your lovely review. We are very proud that Rose Cottage remains a homely and welcoming place for all and will share your kind words with the staff.

My days in this Home have been very happy. The carers are very kind, help is constant. Meals are nicely presented and appetising and medical attention has also been very good. There are daily programmes for social events. I was so pleased to move from another home in this County. My room is very pleasant
with a double aspect. I do wish the Wifi connection was better in my room. I have had to move out to do this survey. Having had to leave my home as I can no longer cope. I deem myself very fortunate to be living here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came to Rose Cottage initially as respite. She has mild dementia and initially, she struggled to settle and was a bit challenging. We weren't sure if she would be able to remain but the staff persevered and she is very well settled now and I feel as more time goes by, they understand her needs
better and are therefore able to meet them.
Mum's physical health has improved greatly since she came to the home in November and she really enjoys the daily activities. Generally, communication is good and if I email or call I get a prompt response. I always feel very welcome when I visit.
The only thing I would say is difficult is when someone presses their call button it bleeps loudly and repeatedly near my mum's room and it's very irritating for her and even for me as a visitor. If there could be some other way staff could be alerted without this it would be a big improvement.

My mum went to live in Rose Cottage in November 2017, unfortunately, she passed away in March 2018. I believe the care she received was first class in all aspects. She was able to join in activities which were held daily within the home and she particularly enjoyed the outside entertainers who occasionally
visited the home in the afternoons. As her health deteriorated she required more care which was excellent they not only cared for her but also helped the family through this difficult period. Mum was 97 when she passed away she had never required residential care before last year so I cannot compare with any other homes but, I can honestly say I had no complaints.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Rose Cottage Residential Home are simply magnificent. They provide a very personal, emotional bond with the residents. My mum was with them for 8 months and in a very short while they had become her friends as well as her carers. They treated mum with the utmost dignity and respect and
went way beyond our expectations. The food is excellent and is freshly prepared and cooked on the premises. It is extremely nutritious with plenty of choice. The rooms are tastefully decorated and well maintained and mum was made to feel very much at home. Whilst quality control surveys establish a standard of care those same quality control processes do not do justice to the level of personal commitment and support that the staff provide to the residents. Every last one of them genuinely went out of their way to make mum's stay comfortable and enjoyable. The care and support that was given to mum in her last days was beyond anything I could have expected.
Reply from John Tillisch, Owner at Rose CottageThank you for your excellent review. Our staff will be very pleased to receive such an accolade. It was a pleasure to have cared for and known your mother. Thank you again,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On visiting my Mother during the six years she chose to live at Rose Cottage all the staff greeted me with a smile as I arrived. They were never impatient with the residents and always very helpful and caring. There was always some stimulating activity for the residents to take part in. After the
severe fall, my mother had before Christmas 2016 I cannot praise the care given. When I reported that mum could come out of hospital to an "interim" bed the assistant manageress said she could return to Rose Cottage as it "was her home". They nursed her superbly and also gave the family such support as she became weaker. When she died aged 102 there was no rush to clear the room, her name was left on the door " it was a matter of respect" was the reply when I thanked them. Mum always said it was the best thing she could have done moving there. The garden is wonderful too.

The care my mother received at Rose Cottage Residential Home was excellent. She was treated with love, kindness and respect in all aspects of her care.
She was gently encouraged to participate in the activities and events which were provided on a regular basis. She enjoyed the chats she shared with
all the staff, and would share a smile and a laugh with them.
Her family were always made to feel welcome and were able to join in with the activities with her.
The 'end of life' care she received could not have been done better. She was comforted and helped along her journey, and the staff could not have been kinder to us, as her family. Nothing was too much trouble, and we were certainly helped by making a very difficult time a little easier.
Reply from John Tillisch, Owner at Rose CottageThank you so much for taking the trouble to give us such a positive review. The staff will be delighted to have received such praise for their work. We shall miss mum and of course all of you who have become such familiar faces to us all. Thank you again

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.764)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.764) out of 10 for Rose Cottage is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.789 for Rose Cottage is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.789
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rose Cottage is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (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.

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.

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.
