Review from Christine P (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been a resident at Rose Cottage for ten years. Throughout her stay there she was treated with great care and dignity. The staff and management were unfailingly friendly and would always have time for her. As she grew more frail her needs increased greatly but the staff rose to the challenge.
I would not hesitate to recommend Rose Cottage to anyone looking for a care home and am very grateful to everyone there for providing such a safe haven for my mother in her last years.
Reply from John Tillisch, Director at Rose CottageThank you for your complimentary feedback. For us, it was always a pleasure to look after mum and after 10 years at Rose Cottage, we are delighted to receive such a positive review. Mum was always a kind and gentle person and it was a always a privilege to have cared for her over the 10 years she was with us.

Review from J H (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father spent his last 3 years at Rose Cottage. The care was excellent. He had an ideal room which gave him privacy and views over the countryside which he enjoyed. The staff care was excellent and he was able to join in many of the activities held at Rose Cottage and he particularly liked the outings.
He loved his food which was well prepared. His family appreciated the care he had in his lately.
Reply from John Tillisch, Director at Rose CottageThank you very much for your very positive feedback. We are glad that your father was happy here and we shall certainly miss him! We always appreciate feedback and we are grateful that you took the time to complete the review. Best wishes to you.

Review from L F (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident at Rose Cottage for 11 and a half years until her death this August. The staff are very friendly and caring and I knew that mum was in the best place for her. Odourless and warm. Given that Rose Cottage is a residential home, I feel that the care mum received was excellent and
as a qualified nurse myself, am aware that it is one of the best homes in the area. It was mum's 'home' in the full sense of the word, especially at the end, for which I will be ever grateful.

Review from M C (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lived in Rose Cottage in late summer 2015. She was 98 was in possession of her faculties and was very sociable, but frail, though she could walk with a wheeled frame. She wanted a home with company, conversation, activity, good quality environment (especially food) and safe, accurate management
of her health and medication. She found all these at Rose Cottage and felt very fortunate that a place had been available. The staff were friendly, caring and engaged with residents. She especially enjoyed the garden and areas to sit outside and sing the praise of Rose Cottage to all her visitors.
Reply from John Tillisch, Owner at Rose CottageThank you for your very positive review and we are very pleased that your mother enjoyed her relatively brief stay with us. She was certainly a very alert 98 year old and clearly enjoyed the experience of living a in an active community. We were very sorry that her health deteriorated suddenly and that her stay with us was foreshortened but we are glad that she was happy during her stay with us.

Review from J D (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the management to all the staff my mother was cared for in a warm homely and safe environment. She was there for respite periodically for three to four years and a permanent resident for eighteen months. At all times she was clean, bathed regularly helped to dress if required. food choices good
and well cooked. Medication administered correctly, some care reports left in the room so I could verify what she told me as she had dementia (e.g worship, clothing and hairdressing). She loved the activities which were almost daily, bingo, craft week, quizzes, musical instruments, church services. They were taken out at least monthly if possible. Care home and gardens immaculate.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My elderly mother spent three years at Rose Cottage Residential Home. In their time I was delighted with the care she received. The home provided plenty of entertainment in particular the music which mum loved. As a family we were welcomed on our visits and I got to know the staff very well. I felt
completely confident that mum was well fed and looked after with great kindness and dignity at all times. Any minor problems were dealt with quickly. Wheelchair could be used free of charge if families needed to use them on outings. We were not expected to pay for little extras and I enjoy being invited up for Christmas dinners with mum! It wasn't petty! A clean and well run care home and this place has an excellent reputation in this area.

My mother has been in Rose Cottage since May and I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and attention my mother receives from the lovely staff. They are always attentive and inform us of any concerns about mums health. The home is spotlessly clean and the rooms are kept beautifully. There are
plenty of willing staff who truly care for the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.850 for Rose Cottage is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.85
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rose Cottage is based on 14 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 = 3.85
    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 14 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 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.

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.

I support residents with their everyday lives, making sure they have the help they need to maintain independence and dignity.

Job Title: Maintenance Operative Joined: 2016

The best thing about my job is that I never know what the day will bring!

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.
