  • Rose Lodge, Exmouth
Rose Lodge Care Home offers specialist dementia care in Exmouth and has two small communities (around 16 residents in each) for people living with dementia.

The cottage is designed for people with early to mid-stage dementia and the lodge is designed for people with mid to late-stage dementia.

The two communities have a similar look and feel, to ease any moves between the communities. The home's design and decoration support independence and encourage active and sociable lives. Rose Lodge has generous terraces and gardens which residents are encouraged to use.

By having two communities on the same site, Rose Lodge ensure that residents live with people at a similar stage of dementia and this increases well-being and minimises friction between residents. Two activity programmes are tailored to the specific needs of each community.

Living an active and sociable life is essential to the resident's well-being. Activities at Rose Lodge include daily walks and trips in the minibus, weekly fitness classes, dancing, choir, music, arts and crafts, gardening and looking after pets which include a dog, cats, a rabbit, chickens, fish and doves. Residents' pets can usually be accommodated.

Rose Lodge received an outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission in 2019, a gold award from Sterling University's Dementia Centre for the design of the cottage in 2016. Rose Lodge has been featured in the Journal of Dementia Care in April 2013 and Devon Life in 2017-2019.

The team at Rose Lodge know how difficult the decision can be to move to a care home. To ease this transition, they offer daycare where people can join the community for one or more days a week, befriend the residents, and join in the daily activity programme. Respite care is also offered, subject to room availability.

Choosing a care home for a loved one needs much consideration and thought.
Rose Lodge helps me to have peace of mind knowing that my husband is in the best possible place to care for all his specific needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When mum first came to Rose Lodge 18 months ago, she was disorientated, confused and frustrated and as a result, she refused point-blank to eat, at that time, we began to fear the worst and told friends and family that it seemed that she had given up on life. We needn't have worried though because the
staff at Rose Lodge completely understood and with their perseverance and dedication mum slowly but surely started to eat again and settled into a new happy life with her Rose Lodge "family". I can't thank them all enough for their continued love and support for mum. Without it, she would most certainly have very little quality of life. She may have dementia but they bring out the best in her.
Reply from Adrian Hamer, Marketing & Support Manager at Rose Lodge

We are so pleased you are happy with the care we provide for your mum, both the public and staff like to hear first hand from relatives and friends of people who are actually living with us as part of our family at Rose Lodge. Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review.

The care for my husband was outstanding. I wish he could have become a permanent resident but unfortunately, there were no vacancies when he needed 24-hour care. Thank you all at Rose Lodge.
Reply from Adrian Hamer, Marketing & Support Manager at Rose Lodge

Thank you so much for sparing the time to write a review, we are pleased to learn that you found our care outstanding and are sorry we did not have a vacancy for full time permanent care at the time you needed it. It is always best to check back with us and leave your name on our waiting list as rooms do come available from time to time. Thank you once again, it is very beneficial for our staff and the public to hear of recommendations from people who have actually used our care services.

Very pleased with the service at Rose Lodge.
The staff are very welcoming and always offer a cup of tea or coffee when we first arrive and always smiling. The manager always keeps us informed of everything that's going on medically. The home is always clean and doesn't smell of urine like some other
homes.
The entertainment and activities are absolutely brilliant.

As a family, we are more than happy with our mother's care at Rose Lodge.
The love and empathy she is afforded by all the staff is so reassuring. All the residents are treated as individuals, irrespective of their needs and level of dementia and the stimulating activities on offer throughout the week
are very much geared to ability. Participation is actively encouraged but not compulsory.
Communication between Rose Lodge and family of the resident is excellent. We have not had a moment of regret in our decision to move mum to Rose Lodge.

Thank you for your very kind words, we are so pleased you are happy with your mother staying with us at Rose Lodge.
Thanks again for leaving a review for staff and the public to view, it means a lot.

From experience of single days respite and the recent 10 days for my wife, I know well the warmth and care from a very dedicated staff. I have always found a calm atmosphere, where individual attention ensures that every resident feels part of the family, also a professional awareness, with humour,
is always apparent! Cleanliness and good facilities make for an all round, well run and comfortable nursing home.

Mum moved from one home to Rose Lodge when her condition deteriorated. She receives more care now due to her circumstances and my sister or myself are quickly contacted if there are any concerns. We can discuss any issues with the staff who act accordingly. Mum has never been on one demand attention
but staff find time to chat with her or take her out in her wheelchair weather permitting. She has her hair and nails done regularly and her room is kept clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and caring and welcoming to family and friends who visit. We are confident that mum is being well cared for.

My mother, who has dementia, did not find the transition to residential care easy but the Rose Lodge staff were patient and kind and she is now settled. They keep the atmosphere calm and provide a variety of activities and trips out to the seaside etc. The garden is well used and very important for
my mother. Above all, I appreciate the sense of fun that staff show in dealing with the residents.

This was the first time of visiting Dad since he went into Rose Lodge and we found the staff and the atmosphere to be very welcoming and friendly.
Dad has his good days and bad but the care he receives is constant. It is nice to be able to visit when you want and for as long as you want.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I looked for the best-rated care home I could find, reading reviews and making visits. Rose Lodge stood out head and shoulders of all the others. My sister was happy there and the standard of care was 5*. One particular feature is that the staff tend to be long-term employees and do not change every
five minutes. They are also mature and sensible, a really good team. On entering Rose Lodge over the years I have never found an objectionable or unhealthy smell such as pervades some care homes. The activities are many and varied, something for everyone. I cannot fault the care given to my sister right up until her death in December. Everything was handled with delicacy and consideration, for the resident and for relatives.

My cousin has been at Rose Lodge for two years. She moved from a home in Essex which did not suit her needs and has from the start enjoyed life at Rose Lodge. I remember visiting her just after she arrived and she had been out to walk along the seafront, "I'm on holiday" she said. She still enjoys trips
out, especially to musicals at the Pavilion. There are daily activities at Rose Lodge. She enjoys the musical entertainers and doing jigsaw puzzles. When she was able she was encouraged to help serve snacks or wash up in the cottage but now has moved back to the main lodge for extra care.


I find the staff caring and helpful. I can let myself in (using the code) and visit when I wish. Staff will bring us coffee and move my cousin to a private spot if necessary. If there is a problem, such as a need to call the nurse or doctor, I am phoned and informed. Care plans are regularly updated and available on request. I have seen many care homes. This one is the best.

A very caring home, a good atmosphere, always something good going on. The staff are quick to respond to any resident needing help, comfort or assistance. I like the fact that there is not a fast turnover of staff. I like the idea of having a good mix of staff, male - female, young men and women and
older staff too. Excellent housekeeping, excellent food (with no notice, quite often an invite to sit and eat with residents - so tried and tested). Excellent attention to detail - hairdressing etc.

Rose Lodge is such a unique place for people to live active lives. Care is excellent. Staff are fantastic. It feels so homely and the staff are always happy and smiling. The gardens are created to keep people interested and busy and it feels like a mini zoo with dog, cats, doves, fish, rabbit and chickens!
It is wonderful to see people always out for walks, trips or in the garden and in the good weather people spend most time outside. There is always something going on and it always feels good to be there.

Rose Lodge specialises in dementia cases. They are extremely adept at treating their residents with dignity and respect. There is a lot of humour too. The home has a friendly atmosphere and the gardens are always available to the residents and they have sensory plants etc and a fish pond. They also
have pets and chickens which provide interest to the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Rose Lodge 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.767 for Rose Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.767
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rose Lodge is based on 28 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
