Rosedale Court

Overall we can find no faults there. Thank you everyone.

My mother-in-law went to Rosedale Court for end of life care during April of this year. She was only there for a week but in that time the care she received was second to none. She was treated with compassion, dignity and respect at all times. The staff were equally as kind and accommodating to our family. We cannot comment too much on the food provided as she never really ate but having said that the meals that we saw looked lovely. We do not hesitate in recommending Rosedale Court.

My brother was admitted to Rosedale from hospital for "end of life" care. I cannot thank the staff and management in fact everyone I came in contact with enough for their care and kindness they showed to my brother and me and my family during his stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you everyone.

Thank you for your hard work.

After upsetting experiences at other care homes it was a breath of fresh air when my aunt secured a place at Rosedale. She has complex care needs and is accommodated for so well, nothing is too much trouble. The home is managed excellently and the manager, clinical lead, carers and staff are all very efficient. In fact my aunt looks the best she has in a long time due to their excellent care and compassion. She has a wonderful patient carer, who is experienced in Neurological illness and has forged a wonderful relationship with my aunt. The activities ladies are angels and put so much effort into providing many regular interesting activities, outings and events. The different themed days that are aimed at residents and their families are amazing. The photos/videos on social media of residents and families enjoying quality time together, having fun and making special memories is truly heart warming. We cannot recommend Rosedale highly enough.

I cannot fault this place. I was sad to see my mum lose her independence, but eventually after a fall at home which resulted in a hip replacement and alongside her dementia my mother was put into respite care and I'm hoping for own safety she stays with Rosedale. The standard of care has been exceptional and the place is so warm and friendly. The activities are brilliant along with all who attend and work for Rosedale. Thank you all so much, it's been a huge weight lifted from myself and my daughters.

Can't thank them enough for the care & compassion they give at such a vulnerable time in her life.

Absolutely so happy with my brothers care. He has been severely mentally and physically disabled since he was 16 after a traffic accident. My parents cared for him for many years and after my dad died mum found it hard to carry on caring for him alone. He is now 60 and has been at Rosedale court for 2 years. We are so impressed with the quality of care he is receiving. We visit twice a week and can see how happy he is. There is always things going on. Visits from elvis tribute singers which he loves. Bbqs in the homes garden weather permitting which family members can attend. Church services from the local church who come into Rosedale regularly. Trips out to Southend seafront for fish and chip lunches. Loads of other stuff going on in Rosedale. Movie afternoons. Art classes. Cooking cakes, pancakes, local dance groups come in to entertain the residents. Fitness classes. Choir practice. Absolutely amazing home. So happy my brother is so happy there.

The management, nurses, care, wellbeing, and cleaning staff are friendly making Rosedale Court a pleasant place to visit.

Dad was sent from Colchester hospital to Rosedale Court Rayleigh, after a fall at home. His dementia has got worse, so it was decided he was to go to Rosedale, as I live in Rayleigh and would be close to visit regularly. We were lucky to get a room. All of the staff show compassion, empathy, and kindness. Dad has been at Rosedale for 6 months now and this caring, thoughtful attitude has continued. Dad is very sociable, and the activities the home provides give Dad purpose and meaning to his day and above all a laugh. He has a lovely sense of humour, and it is good to see this encouraged. Cant thank the staff enough!

My dad has been in Rosedale for 8 weeks now and all of the staff have been amazing and are looking after him so well. He is treated like a family member and we really couldn't be happier. The management team have been amazing and the amount of activities provided and social media updates are incredible. Thank you so much for looking after my dad so well.

My sister and I are so pleased with the new initiatives and developments here at Rosedale. Since the new manager, I have seen a marked change in many aspects of the home and my mum. Rosedale now feels 'alive' again with so many wonderful things now happening regularly. My mum is so happy and this makes the family happy. We feel very safe with Mum's care and disposition. We want to say a huge thank you to all the staff.

My personal experience of Rosedale Court is and has always been a positive experience for me, my family and most importantly my mum! Kind and caring, what's more to say!

Thank you Rosedale Court.

We Would like to express how grateful we are for the care you gave my late uncle who has recently passed. It was a very sad time for us and my uncle was cared for by an exceptional team where you could tell they put all their heart into the role and also had compassion for the family. We will always be truly grateful for the love you gave and my uncle has joined his dear wife now where they are both pain-free and at peace. Thank you again from all of the family.

Whilst my mother was in the care home, from January 2017 to January 2023, she was looked after incredibly well.

My wife has been a resident at Rosedale Court for seven and a half years. She has very advanced dementia and is receiving end-of-life care. During her time at Rosedale, my wife has received exceptional care and in 2019 her life was saved when staff suspected that she had Sepsis and their swift action got her the required treatment in time. She is now in the nursing unit and again, this December, her health rapidly deteriorated. Fortunately, the nursing staff diagnosed the situation accurately and acted with urgency and she was admitted to hospital to receive life-saving treatment for sepsis. She is now back at Rosedale Court and is quite stable. I cannot thank the nursing staff enough for all that they have done for my wife during her time at Rosedale Court.

We have visited Mother-in-law for several years of her decline - at 102! Rarely have we seen any distress with any resident - always kindly treated. Appropriate to her mobility and interest, she has been offered seasonal entertainment, we have had photos to share the fun, and some creative activity attempts! Original and recent staff have welcomed us with some warmth and comments of Mum's "behaviour and moods". We felt Mum has become well known and has had very personally styled care. Many thanks.

My husband was admitted to Rosedale Court in January 2023 with Alzheimer’s and other health issues. At the time, he was admitted on an end-of-life three-month arrangement, and Rosedale happened to have a vacancy. How glad I am that he went to Rosedale. He has had excellent care, the staff are friendly and helpful, there are numerous activities during each week, and the food seems good. My family and I visit a lot, and we’ve never known him to be anything but clean and comfortable. Rosedale Court itself has a very nice, friendly atmosphere and is really well maintained.

My mum was a resident and passed in September. The care, communication and support for her and us, as a family, was first-class. Mum passed with dignity and I cannot thank the manager and his amazing team for all they did for us all. It was difficult saying goodbye to what had become a second home for us all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do, every department is a terrific team who really knows the residents and actually ’ cares’. I miss you all.
