Very welcoming atmosphere. Staff are polite and caring. My mum was always clean and well presented whenever we visited, and there a a good choice of healthy food. Wishing all the very best for the future.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Excellent first impression and lovely rooms and garden. Day staff are competent and caring, but under too much pressure to attend to residents quickly. Night staff had a less positive attitude and were not as well-trained. The food excellent, entertainment was varied. The majority of staff were pleasant
and respectful. A pleasure to visit, and financially in line with other care homes. This was a good stepping stone for my husband on his way to regaining mobility and coming home permanently.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We view all feedback positively and were pleased to be able to support your husband prior to his returning home.

My first time visit. Staff were warm and friendly to both residents and visitors alike. Premises very clean and secure. facilities very good. I would welcome self help tea and coffee for visitors in the communal room, subject to safety considerations for residents. Staff I know would have and do provide
if asked but they were busy serving lunch and caring for residents and so it seemed a little selfish to ask.
Reply from Janet Bromley, Manager at Rodwell House

As a first-time visitor, we are pleased that you took the time to complete a review and thank you for your positive comments, which we will share with the team. We have a tea and coffee station in the lounge for visitors, so do come and see me when you next visit and we can show you where it is.

I would like to thank all the staff for their exceptional care and professionalism in looking after my mother who had severe dementia. Their dedication and sincere care was there to see every time I went to see her and I am so glad she was able to live her limited life in the comfort that she always
received. Thank you to two staff members amongst the others - and another staff member in particular at the end - for easing the suffering both for my mother and my sister and I. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!

This is a pleasant care home to visit, giving me assurance that my father is cared for and looked after. All staff are plesant, courteous, and professional. The staff help with offering snacks and drinks, and providing a space where we can talk as a family. I've not seen planned entertainment, but am
informed about it and this is a nice experience for my father and other guests to have. My father mentions the nice food and enjoyable breakfasts too- I am pleased he is settled there

Review from Simon H (Son of Resident) published on 2 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The general impression from other family members and friends including my own is that the residents are always clean and reasonably well dressed, albeit not always in their own clothes in our experience. The staff are all lovely and seem to really care which would have been difficult to maintain during
the high staff turnover period following Brexit. The finance department were particularly accommodating when the time came to sell my Mothers property - a whole different experience form that provided by the local Council, for sure!
The only bad taste i am left with after more than 5 years was the disappearance of my Mothers wedding ring which particularly upset my sister very badly and we felt that this was not properly investigated or concluded satisfactorily.

Review from T F (Son of Resident) published on 8 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we first looked around Rodwell House it compared very favourably with others we'd seen. As a modern purpose-built home it simply doesn't compare with older buildings which have been adapted. The care suites are large and airy and the communal areas are spotless. We regularly see the entrance hall
carpet being cleaned (not just hoovered).
Mum is bedbound but the built-in hoist and nursing chairs mean she can be taken downstairs for a sociable lunch and to enjoy the entertainment. She adores the pet therapy sessions! We were encouraged to make Mum's room her own by taking in belongings to personalise it. The kitchenette in her room means we can make our own drinks and sit in her comfy chairs for a natter, we know other visitors have a meal with her in the lounge - the flexibility is great.
The staff are all extremely friendly to residents and visitors alike - and that includes housekeeping, laundry and catering staff too. There is definitely a can do culture.

My mother was 98 and had dementia. She was looked after very well and treated very kindly by the staff. She was allowed to be herself and she was listened to.
She enjoyed the food, the gardens and some of the activities. She had a great sense of humour and often laughed with the staff.

I have seen my Mum, Dad, and now husband cared for at Rodwell, and overall I have been very pleased with the care, professionalism, and support I have received. Many of the staff in particular have been extremely kind over very difficult times, and I always felt I could ask questions or for help.
I
would recommend Rodwell to others if needed.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care shown by the nursing staff was excellent, even when Mum was challenging. Some staff she was very fond of. the accommodation was adequate given Mum's condition, however, I did raise a concern about the cleanliness of the bathroom on one occasion, which was promptly rectified. It would be useful
if food could be readily available for end-of-life patients with dementia, as they don't always understand the idea of having to wait for set meal times. Overall would recommend Rodwell to those thinking of using it. Family support was exemplary.

It's just 6 weeks and I'm happy we've made a good decision to choose Rodwell House for Dad. The staff are polite and efficient and the home is well run. For the able residents, it's nice to see they are regularly socialising as a group when I arrive to see Dad.
This may be for watching TV, oldies singing
along or for visiting entertainers.
Our family visited many similar homes and found Rodwell House to be cleaner, fresher and better aired than others. Room sizes are very good and en-suite facilities as standard.

My father moved here from another care home. We were very nervous to move and the impact on him. However, we needn't have worried. He was made to feel very welcome from day 1 and his room was a vast improvement over the previous. There is always a warm welcome by all members of staff and we are confident
our father is in very good hands.

My mother has been at Rodwell House since September 2023. Moving into nursing care after having your own house and being independent is very difficult and as one might say a bitter pill to swallow. All the staff at Rodwell House have made this transition smooth and any small bumps, questions or concerns
have been dealt with straight away and Mum has now become part of the family and is always encouraged to join in with any of the activities on offer but at the same time allowed space if she has a day that she wants to just be resting.

We have been visiting my aunt at Rodwell House for the past two months and always found staff from cleaners, carers and management helpful and very happy. Everyone always has a smile and a kind word. My aunt is happier than she has been for a while, content and relaxed and she loves all the carers and
never said anything negative. Friends that visit have all been impressed and have all said how well she is being looked after.

My mother has been in Rodwell House for 7 weeks now and from the very first day the staff have been excellent. The food is also excellent and the carers never rush Mum when feeding her. All the facilities including rooms, dining room and gardens are all lovely and clean. We couldn't wish for a better

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.628)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.628) out of 10 for Rodwell House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.628 for Rodwell House is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 290 Ratings = 4.628
  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 Rodwell House is based on 24 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 24 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.
