Review from Ruth C (Cousin of Resident) published on 2 April 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My cousin was in Rathmore Rest Home for just over two years, until her death at the age of 98. During that time, the staff became like family to her, as her own family lived quite a distance away.
The loving care and attention she received from the manager and a member of staff in particular, and all the staff was excellent. The family was always well-informed, treated with respect, and made very welcome whenever we visited.

After a spell in hospital, my cousin was welcomed back to Rathmore for end-of-life care, which was excellent. We could phone or visit at any time and the manager kept us regularly informed. We were comforted to know that she was comfortable, in no pain, and in safe hands. When our cousin died, the manager and that member of staff made all the necessary arrangements and liaised closely with the family to make things as easy as possible for us. We are so grateful that Rathmore was the place where our cousin ended her life, supported by a dedicated, loving, and caring team.

Thank you for this lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after your cousin; she was a lovely lady who, I am sure, will be greatly missed by her family, us and all our staff, and everyone who knew her. I am happy that we were able to assist you during this difficult time.

Review from Simon I (Relative of Resident) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Rathmore Care Home provided exceptional care for our 98-year-old auntie, treating her like family throughout her long-term stay. Rathmore offered a very caring, positive and attentive environment with responsive staff who demonstrated genuine compassion, offering plenty of time and attention. Our Auntie was respected, supported and well cared for. Communication with our family was always well received, arrangements well organised and flexible and we were kept informed around any health concerns and always welcomed warmly during visits.
Rathmore's commitment to personalised care and dignity made a profound difference in her life. We would recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate residential care for their loved ones.

Review from Peter C (Brother of Resident) published on 23 July 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My brother was cared for at the Rathmore after release from the hospital. He required considerable personal care and attention. He received consistently compassionate, caring, loving and skilled attention. This care home is clean and professionally run establishment. The staff were very good at keeping me informed of any changes in my brother’s condition or needs. I didn’t have to prompt them to do this. I highly recommend this home in all respects.

Review from Pauline R (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 October 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I was beginning to think a care home like this existed only in my imagination! After 9 weeks of hospital and rehabilitation care, 2 bad falls and down to six and a half stone in weight, it was a huge relief to find such a wonderful care home. Mum gained weight in days thanks to excellent home cooking and the staff cannot do enough for her. All mum's needs are being met with genuine and kind attention which completely puts my mind at rest which helps me so much as I don't live in the area and can only visit every week or two. I am always made welcome and often enjoy the delicious food and homemade cakes myself. It is not easy finding the right care home for a loved one but I know mum couldn't be in a better place!

Review from Heather A (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 September 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We really didn't want Mum to go into any home but realised it had to be. We visited many and chose the Rathmore as it was so homely and friendly, it was the best decision we could have made. Mum has now lived here for 4 years and is so happy. The staff are loving and caring and will do anything to keep their residents happy. The owners welcome us popping in and out daily, feed us homemade cakes and tea and treat us like family. We know that Mum is well cared for, maybe even pampered and spoiled, but at 94 we are not complaining! We moved Mum's personal bits into her room and either us or the staff feel free to make suggestions that help Mum enjoy life. The home is small with only a max of 8 residents so if you need a place that will take great care of your relative get in quick!
