Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother first checked into Rashwood for a week or twos respite. She was slightly reluctant to go at first but after a very impressive tour of the facilities and the wonderful grounds , she decided to give it a go. Within a day or two she felt relaxed and happy. She realised she was in a much more
suitable and safer environment than what she was used to at home and she is now a long term resident. The carers are so friendly, fun and attentive; nothing is too much trouble. The fact that many of them have worked there for decades speaks volumes about the friendly atmosphere. We can visit her anytime and whenever we do all the staff are welcoming and professional : it gives us a lot of comfort to know that mum is in such safe hands. The facilities and food are excellent ; the gorgeous gardens are a real bonus and allow mum to spend time outdoors relaxing or exploring the paths on her mobility scooter. Thank you all for looking after her so well.

The staff at Rashwood are always on hand for a chat and to make sure the residents are comfortable.
Today I joined my aunt for lunch which was 3 delicious courses. My aunt was offered a choice of activities for the afternoon-watching a film, to play a game with a staff member or a walk round the beautiful
gardens.
Rashwood is always clean and well maintained. And the gardens are beautiful at all times of the year.
My aunt has settled into her new home and I'm confident we have made the right choice for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was admitted to Rashwood in April 2025.
The care he received was first class. All the staff were friendly and professional.
The overall opinion is that the whole place is very accessible, clean, tidy. The grounds are well kept and very picturesque with a variety of wildlife.
The care team
were brilliant, very friendly and chatty, but also respectful. They nursed my dad until his passing in May 2025.
I cannot rate this place, and the staff, high enough. They were very supportive through out the entire time of dads residence.
I am sorry it took so long to put this review in, but it has been hard to adequately send our thanks.

I arrived at Rashwood directly from hospital where I had a complete hip replacement. |I was very pleased to be shown to a ground floor room very well appointed and with a view of magnificent gardens. From this moment I was treated with kindness best of care and good humour whatever was the designated
job of the person concerned nothing was too much trouble and all its care and comfort helped me to heal and return home on 14/6/25.

My Mother moved in at the end of February 2025 and our family is very pleased with the care she has received. All of the Staff that I have met so far are not only professional and attentive but genuinely kind, friendly and compassionate.
Rashwood has beautiful gardens which are maintained to a high
standard and my mother has lovely views from her room.
Her room is spacious and comfortable. The food is to her liking and they cater for her particular needs and wants. I enjoy visiting due to the lovely surroundings. I am looking forward to being able to walk around the gardens and sit in the garden with my mother as soon as the weather improves.
I would highly recommend Rashwood Care Home.

Rashwood Care Home is a very friendly and high quality home. From our first contact with the home until the day my mother returned to her own home we were always made very welcome by all the staff, in whatever capacity they were working. Nothing is too much trouble whether you are a resident or a visitor.
The standard of care is high including the nursing care an the friendliness is genuine. Thank you to all the staff who made my mother's stay so enjoyable, I'm sorry that I can't remember all of your names.

My mother was discharged from hospital to Rashwood for end-of-life care back in March 2024. She was very poorly when she was admitted. Due to the love and care that Mom has received at Rashwood she has clearly thrived and is very happy where she is. Rashwood offers many activities to residents which
is fantastic for interaction with others. The gardens are beautiful so during decent weather it's lovely to walk around the grounds and appreciate how well they are kept. All of the staff are very caring and there is nothing that is ever too much trouble to ask for. I would highly recommend Rashwood to anyone looking for a nursing/care home for their loved one.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Two weeks ago my mom was diagnosed in hospital with a totally unexpected illness and we rapidly had to find somewhere as local as possible that would offer her the best possible end-of-life care for the very short time she had left. Rashwood fitted the bill 100%. From the minute we stepped through the
door to view its suitability to the few days later when we left after Mom sadly passed away we were all treated with the utmost care, respect and compassion. Every single member of staff was kind and supportive with nothing too much trouble. My brother, my husband and I stayed with Mom for most of the four days she was there, taking advantage of the offer of their visitor's accommodation to take turns to get a couple of hours sleep. Everything was made as easy as possible for us to be with our mom. Sadly, she didn't have the privilege of accessing the wonderful, immaculate gardens or the facilities offered to other more able residents but what she did receive could not have been better.
Reply from Catherine Lines, Clinical Director at Rashwood Care Home

Thank you so much for choosing Rashwood for the last few days with your mom. We are reassured that you and your mom felt supported and safe and that the staff were providing the kindest, empathetic care for you all. Our condolences again for your loss.

My father moved into Rashwood Care Home in November last year. He is settling in really well. The staff are lovely. They are very caring and take into consideration Dad's likes and dislikes. Any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently. The home is always kept clean and his room is bright and
airy with a lovely view over the garden and countryside.
The activities that are laid on are many and varied- thanks to three staff members. Visitors are always made to feel welcome.
The manager and the management team are approachable and great to deal with, answering queries and solving problems.
Overall we are very happy with this lovely home and Dad's care. I would definitely recommend Rashwood Care Home.

My husband has been at Rashwood since the beginning of October 2023. He settled very quickly and declared he was happy and contented and there were some very "nice" staff. He is confined to bed and so cannot benefit much from the interesting programme of activities. He has valued visits from the Vicar.
All the staff have been friendly to family and friends and we have felt welcome. I regret that there are not more opportunities for my husband to be moved to a chair or even other parts of the building.

Both my parents were residents at Rashwood for several years, my mother is still a resident and feels very much at home there. We live in Scotland so it is a great comfort to know our loved one is happy and so well looked after. I couldn't speak more highly of the staff, activities and food. Every effort
is made to accommodate the needs of the individual. In summary, I would hope to have a 'Rashwood' myself if it ever became necessary!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Rashwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 25 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 4.822 for Rashwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.822
  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 Rashwood Care Home is based on 25 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
