Holmes Care specialist dementia care home in Cowdenbeath featured as a finalist in the Scottish Care National Care Home Awards in November 2012. Having won the Dementia Service category in 2011, Roselea House was runner up at the Awards ceremony held on 23rd November 2012 at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel.
Roselea House has a large garden which some residents enjoy helping to keep tidy. Vegetables grown in the garden are used in the kitchen so that residents can enjoy their own produce.
Roselea House was runner up in the Care Home Design Award category at the May 2010 Awards.
The home opened in April 2010, having been converted to care specifically for residents with dementia type illnesses. It is considered to be at the forefront of dementia care provision. Roselea House has 20 large single occupancy rooms, all en-suite with showers, in a single storey building.
During the planning of the refurbishment, advice was taken from Stirling University Dementia Services Development Centre and incorporated into the interior design features to provide solutions for people with dementia. Some of the features are:
-Dementia signposting, including 3D tactile signposting.
-Individual memory boxes on bedroom doors.
-3D tactile memory murals.
-Non-intrusive call bell system with sensory activated lighting in bedrooms.
The principal aim was to provide a care home with a real family atmosphere for all residents, while maintaining respect for their privacy, individual rights, independence and freedom of choice.
All staff undergo specialist training delivered by Holmes Care – Holmes Care own training division in order to provide sensitive and appropriate care. Using a person-centred approach, based on leading theory in current dementia care practice, residents will receive a high level of attention and supervision based on their individual needs and wishes.

My mum has been at Roselea for a few months and she's settled in really well. The level of care is excellent and the facilities are superb. Mum loves her room which is large and bright and filled with her own things, making her feel much more at home. She's also taking part in the home activities so she's much more active and stimulated than she was when living on her own. Having access to the nursing care has been such a reassurance to us as a family.

From the moment you enter Roselea House you feel so welcome from the manager and all her staff. My loved one has settled so well. There are activities daily, the interaction between staff and residents is so lovely to see. When a resident has a birthday the staff put banners and balloons up and a cake is made for them. The meals are delicious and afternoon tea is served every day. There is also armchair keep-fit and a silent disco and singers. Roselea House is a wee gem.

Excellent caring staff that are always happy to help. Room is always clean and tidy although it could do with a fresh coat of paint. The laundry could be done with a bit more care taken to it.

The staff made an incredibly difficult, emotional period of our lives so much more bearable.

My mum moved into Roselea on 30th September 2025. She had been in hospital for 3 months and we could no longer give her the care she needed. Roselea was our first choice. I wasn't sure about her moving to a nursing home but I now couldn't be happier. She has settled in well, everybody so kind and helpful and can't do enough for her. She is well addressed, well fed and well loved after. Great.

Due to health issues I have been unable to visit my husband as often as usual. But, staff, including domestic and kitchen, have gone out of their way to assure me that he is quite settled and they are keeping "an eye" on him. Especially as he has been, temporarily moved into another room. As urgent repairs were req'd in his. It is very reassuring to me that this level of care is normal for the staff in Roselea. To give to all residents choosing Roselead has been the best thing I can ever have done for my husband.

Roselea House is a very caring home with lovely staff who cannot do enough to help. As my father is blind as well as having dementia I have found the staff to be very understanding and caring and are always trying to involve him in activities even though he is not very sociable (he cannot accept he is blind and is somewhat embarrassed). It is a pleasure to visit as everyone is so friendly.
Thank you for the lovely comments, it is very much appreciated.
Roselea is a great care home. It is small, and I feel that the residents are cared for very well as the staff have time to spend with each one. Nothing is too much for them as they are very obliging.
