Rashwood has exceeded all expectations. It was a worry finding the right place owing to the complexity of the needs, but I’m delighted.


The nursing staff are skilled and knowledgeable. The carers are helpful, kind, and answer promptly when needed. The cleaners are thorough, the food is lovely, the

managerial and administrative teams are very professional. The grounds and buildings are pristine and the social staff and activities are the bonus I’d never realised we needed. Everyone is friendly and goes the extra mile to ensure mum is safe, cared for and happy.

This is a most beautiful care home set in wonderful countryside. My mother has been in Rashwood Care Home for six weeks.
The nursing and carers have been simply superb keeping us informed at all times of doctors visits, medicines etc. The food is excellent, nutritious and very well present. The rooms
are all beautifully furnished and immaculate at all times.
The manager and her staff should be very proud of their nursing home. There is also quite a lot of events arranged daily. I would not hesitate in recommending Rashwood Care Home.

We looked at a lot of nursing homes before choosing Rashwood Care Home for our dear dad's end of life care. He was there for 10 months and I feel he couldn't have been happier, better cared for or more loved by such a dedicated staff in this last stage of his life.
I can't ever thank all the staff
enough nurses, carers and all the other people who's hard work contribute to make it such a pleasant, comfortable and caring environment. I felt nothing was ever too much trouble. I am particularly grateful for their support to make dads last few difficult weeks comfortable and pain fress and their support of us as a family too.
It's the little things that matter that add up to make a very big difference.

My father in law was a resident at Rashwood Care Home from December 2016 until October 2017.


During this time he was lovingly cared for both by the nursing staff and carers.


I cannot praise highly enough the devotion of all the staff to caring for my father in law throughout his stay and I will

be eternally grateful to the entire staff.

The staff at Rashwood are always kind and affectionate towards my mum. There is always a lovely atmosphere, and although it took a while, my mum now thinks of it as her home.


The entertainment is well planned and the food is excellent.


You can always approach the management and nothing seems too

much trouble.

My husband has been living at Rashwood Nursing Home for five years. He has always been treated with respect and they preserve his dignity. He was recently very ill and almost died. During all of this, the staff were really caring to my husband and especially to me. The care he receives is excellent.
Staff are very friendly but professional at all times.


I would recommend them to anyone. Anyone who comes to Rashwood could not get better care anywhere else.

Excellent care from all aspects our wishes were respected and my mothers were taken into account on every level. The staff were always so friendly and caring, sadly my mother was too ill to participate in activities but the atmosphere is delightful. I would recommend Rashwood Care Home on every aspect.

I feel very well looked after at Rashwood like a 5 star hotel. The care staff are warm and friendly and most of them are from the local area, as I am, so I feel amongst friends. The extensive grounds are beautiful and well kept and a great pleasure to walk around. Absolutely perfect! (and I should mention
that a peacock guards the front entrance!)

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Rashwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.812 for Rashwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.812

  • b) 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 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
