My father stayed at Austin Rose for some respite care after he had a bad fall at home. The first thing that i noticed on arrival was that every member of staff were smiling, were very warm and welcoming. The home itself is beautiful and very clean. The gardens are wonderful and we really enjoyed sitting out there as a family. My father was treated with dignity, compassion and kindness. The carers all work really hard and nothing is too much trouble for them, i really wish that they could be paid more for the service that they provide for our loved ones. The management were all very professional and caring. Our daughter whose 5, was also treated lovely by all, of the staff, and i love that the home put on community events, we will be visiting these with our daughter. i would recommend this care home.
Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review, we are so pleased to hear of the positive experience that both your father and you as a family endured.
We look forward to seeing you again in July for our community event!
Your feedback will be passed onto the team at Austin Rose.
A genuine tribute to the extraordinary staff at this care home.
My mother was a strong-willed woman who could be challenging at times and the staff took that entirely in their stride. Through her harder days they remained patient, warm and kind, caring for her with unwavering dignity and respect. Knowing she was truly looked after, not just managed, gave our family enormous peace of mind.
After her passing, the staff showed their true character. They came outside to pay their respects as the funeral cortège passed by, sent flowers, and several attended the funeral in person from their own hearts.
These are people who didn't just do a job. They genuinely cared for every resident, on every kind of day. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and moving words. It was a privilege to care for your mother and to get to know her unique personality and spirit. We understand that every resident is an individual, and it was important to us that your mother was always treated with the dignity, respect, and...
My mom was a resident in Austin Rose Nursing Home for 18 months. The care she received was excellent. The staff are amazing, caring, responsive and get to know their residents well. My mom passed away in April and the kindness of the staff to both my mom and our family will never be forgotten. The guided us through this difficult time with compassion and kindness. Mom was well cared for and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to all the staff and management.
Thank you for your gleaming 5 star review! We are so pleased to hear mums time at Austin Rose was nothing but positive! She was such a big part of our wonderful home and will be dearly missed!
We moved my stepfather to Austin Rose in April 2026. We were not happy with his previous care home. Several falls broke his hip. This was the best decision we ever made. Austin Rose is wonderful! Staff and managers have made us feel so welcome. The care received by stepfather is second to none. We highly recommend Austin Rose.
Hi Teresa,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. I am so pleased to hear that Austin Rose has been providing exceptional care to your stepfather!
I will ensure this has been passed onto our team as positive feedback.

Very good place to be.
Hi Dean,
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so pleased to hear you are being well looked after and enjoying the facilities offered to you!
The overall care for dad has been very good. Some of the staff are better than others but sometimes this is sue to communication on behalf of both dad and the staff. Although th rooms are very nice they are in need of a refurb. Overall very pleased with dad's care.
Thank you for your kind words, this will be passed onto the team! We have taken note and the rooms are due for refurb in the near future :) Please do not be a stranger to Austin Rose, we hope to see you again soon!
My mom was in Austin Rose care home for nearly 6 years and we couldn't fault the love, care and respect that she and us as her family were shown during this time. They even accommodated mom's very fussy eating. All the staff from reception, nurses ,the activities team and the carers were professional and went above and beyond for us and mom. As a family we shall continue to support them wherever we can now that mom has passed. Her passing was very peaceful, respectful and second to none. All our family recommend this home if your looking for somewhere to look after your loved one, whether it be temporary or during their final years.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so pleased to hear mom had a positive stay whilst she was with us. Mom will be dearly missed by all the staff. We look forward to seeing you still.
I can't thank the staff enough from the people on the desk to the care staff cleaners absolutely everyone we had contact with was so helpful and careing thank you for making everything a positive experience.
Hi Dawn,
Thank you so much for your kind review, I am pleased to hear your experience at Austin Rose has been excellent so far! I will share your 5 star review across the home!
I'm so pleased with the level of professionalism and kindness the staff show towards my mum. I've been guilt ridden thinking about moving her, but after seeing how she's looked after, I knew it was the right decision.
The Manager has been my point of call and has been amazing with my mum. Thank you x
Thank you for your kind words, I am pleased to hear how mum has been settling and that you are happy with the care being provided. We will continue providing the best care and support to both mum and you.
It gives me real peace of mind knowing my mum is in such good hands!
Feedback will be passed onto staff :)
I think it's extremely bad practice to leave residents in a lot of pain sitting in there chair for over an hour when your told they will get her back into bed in 15 minutes. This happens on a regular basis and makes it hard for her to want to get in the chair in the first place, which she must do to help any recovery. I also think they don't encourage her to eat or especially drink. With brain injury she forgets most things especially drinking. The staff are friendly and probably doing there best but if there's not enough to carry out basic care then it's extremely poor.
I am sorry to hear of your concerns, this has been addressed with management and action will be taken to ensure your sister receives our best care. Please do not hesitate to come and speak with management directly to ensure these concerns are being looked into.
When first arriving , I was very happy to see that Margaret's room was very spacious , extremely clean and the fact that it was Margaret's birthday , the staff had decorated her room with balloons and Happy Birthday favours , which was a lovely welcoming gesture , which was very thoughtful .
In view of it being a respite stay I only visited twice . , but on the second visit Mag was bright and cheerful , which was heartening .
I know she enjoyed the food and was very comfortable there .
I would like to offer my thanks to the staff who, were very attentive and so polite
I'd like to give my personal thanks to Nafreeza, Mandi( it could be Marci the house manager) , Aimee and Nelson
Thank you and God Bless -
Hi Robert,
Thank you so much for your kind words, this has been passed onto our team!
Although our friend , suffering from dementia, has only been a resident for a short time she seems to have settled in quite quickly.
Hi Dulcie,
Thank you for your kind words, I hope we can continue to provide excellent care and support to you all!
Amieee your doing amazing job made us feel very welcome , and the home is very welcoming and being able to have a hot drink with your loved one is perfect. Staff go above and beyond for you and nothing is too much effort
Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is great to hear you are enjoying the facilities offered!
My uncle has been a resident here following his discharge from hospital after unfortunately gaining a traumatic brain injury from a freak accident. The care staff are great, and Mark in particular has been fab with my uncle, treating him with kindness and respect, whilst also having a laugh with him. We had quite a wait for a specialist chair to be ordered, however that has now arrived and my uncle is now able to get out of his bed, which is a huge relief for us as a family. The nursing team are also great, in particular Raymond who always goes above and beyond to explain things to us when we need it, this is always appreciated.
The activities team are also a great bunch, and now my uncle has his new chair it would be lovely to see him get more involved in the activities within the home. My uncles life has changed massively, but it is great to see him included in the many different activities available throughout the week.
Hi Chantelle,
Thank you for your kind words, we are pleased to hear we can make such a difference in your uncle's life! It has been great to see him out and involved in activities!
My father, who is bedbound with cancer, Parkinson's, and mild dementia, stayed at Austin Rose for nearly three weeks while my sister, his full-time carer, took a break. The staff were consistently pleasant, attentive, and genuinely caring. His room was clean, practical, and had a nice view - a comforting environment for someone in his condition. He ate well and never complained about the food, which says a lot. The 24-hour care was a huge reassurance for us. Most telling of all, he's asked to return permanently, which we're now arranging. We're truly grateful for the care he received.
Hi Russell, That is great to hear that your father enjoyed his respite stay with us! All the staff were gutted to see him leave but we are all over the moon to of welcomed him back permanently!
Care and compassion was shown by all staff to myself and my mother throughout her stay at Austin Rose. I would highly recommend Austin Rose to anyone looking for care for themselves or a loved one. I honestly couldn't have wished for a nicer place for my mother stay at for the end of her life. All staff treated my mother with dignity and provided such excellent care to her even after she passed away. Nothing was too much trouble and they made such a difficult time a little bit easier to cope with.
Hi Julia, Thank you so much for your kind words regarding Austin Rose and our wonderful staff. It was a pleasure to of been able to look after mum, she will be truly missed by all.
My beloved uncle recently passed away after spending his final weeks at Austin Rose, and I can honestly say the care he received was nothing short of phenomenal.
From the moment he arrived, we felt completely reassured by the warmth, compassion, and professionalism of every single member of staff. Their dedication to his dignity, comfort, and well-being was evident every day. Not only did they care for him, but they supported us as a family - always kind, always patient, and always going above and beyond.
Even though it's only been five weeks, I truly miss visiting and seeing the wonderful team who felt like an extension of our family.
If you are looking for somewhere safe, compassionate and deeply caring for your loved one, I can recommend Austin Rose with complete confidence. They gave my uncle the gift of peace and dignity in his final chapter, and for that we will always be grateful as a family.
Thank you so much for your kind words, this will be passed onto the staff at Austin Rose. Your uncle will be truly missed and we hope to see you and the family around!

Meet the Team (8)
Hi, I’m Mandi, and I’m proud to be the Care Home Manager here at Austin Rose.
With over 10 years of Nursing experience, I am passionate about providing compassionate care to our residents. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected, and I believe in a person-centred approach, tailoring our care to meet individual needs.
I originally completed my qualification in Adult Nursing in 2008 and have worked in various busy Nursing environments throughout my career. I always pride myself on being hardworking and enthusiastic, with a willingness to learn new skills and adopt new ideas and enjoy working alongside my team to deliver quality services for residents to maintain their wellbeing.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and exploring the outdoors. I love holistic therapies and self-care, and I adopt this approach in care delivery to our residents. I love massages, retail therapy, listening to music and socialising with others. I am very creative and enjoy ensuring that environments have a touch of glamour.
I have Level 3 qualifications in health and social care and also Business Administration. The past year, I have been making my way up from being an Office Manager in a Nursing Home in my hometown, Leamington Spa.
My passion is to ensure our loved ones get a loving and healthy home as they reach their elderly days and are no longer able to look after themselves in the way they used to. I am a strong believer that we should give back to those who once gave to us.
I have had the privilege of working with Macc Care for over 10 years, and it has been a remarkable journey thus far. My journey began at Meadow Rose, another esteemed residence within the Macc Care group. The inherent satisfaction that comes from assisting the elderly and offering them the vital support they require is truly immeasurable.
Austin Rose, the home I am currently based, is truly exceptional. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating a sense of belonging and friendship. The provision of top-quality services, coupled with the unwavering dedication of the staff, sets it apart as an outstanding workplace. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this remarkable team.
Marianne is very passionate about her work, she pulls out all the stops to make everyone’s Day run smoothly, Marianne has a very wide set of skills and loves to help, and get involved. You will always see Marianne in the reception with a smiling face waiting to greet you as you enter our Care Home.
Irene began working at Austin Rose as a nurse and worked her way up to Clinical lead.
On Client Hills Suite. Nothing is too much trouble for Irene as she always goes above and beyond and ensures all residents within her care have their needs met.
Bal is the employer of the year for 2023 as she is a kind, loving and hardworking person.
I have been working at Austin Rose for six years now, and it has been a wonderful journey thus far. We typically engage in two activities per day, which may include playing Bingo, hosting singers, crafting, organizing cinema nights, and celebrating national holidays. Austin Rose has provided me with all the necessary equipment and decorations to successfully conduct these activities. What I enjoy the most is seeing the smiles on the residents' faces while participating in these activities and witnessing their enthusiasm to engage.
Shaunna likes nothing more than to see the home sparklingly clean and maintain the exceptional facilities to the highest standard alongside her team of housekeepers.
Whilst going about her work, she always finds time to stop and spend with our wonderful residents and show them that fabulous smile.
