Rowan Court, situated just off the main Silverdale Road in Newcastle-under-Lyme, is just a mile from the town centre. Despite its proximity to the urban hub, the residence backs onto fields, offering scenic views overlooking Lyme Brook.

The home benefits from convenient transport links, with a regular local bus route connecting to the nearby bus station. Rowan Court has cultivated a positive reputation within the community and maintains strong ties with the adjacent Queen Elizabeth Bowls Club.

Founded on principles of compassion and high quality, Rowan Court is supported by a devoted team providing excellent, personalised care in residential, dementia, and nursing services. Recognising the importance of residents' physical and emotional engagement, the home actively involves a diverse community of local groups in various activities. The ongoing re-landscaping of the extensive gardens at Rowan Court Nursing Home aims to introduce raised beds, a potting shed, and patio areas to complement the existing lawns and mature trees.

With a specific emphasis on dementia care, the nursing home in Staffordshire prioritises learning residents' life stories, conducting reminiscence sessions, and utilising the internet as a resource to evoke memories and past customs.

The generously sized bedrooms encourage residents to personalise their spaces, displaying photos and keepsakes with pride. The bright and lively lounges foster a companionable, social atmosphere, providing quiet corners for activities like reading or puzzles. The home also features a dedicated hair salon for all pampering needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was a very hard decision, looking for a care home for out much loved mum, but when we stepped into Rowan Court I knew this was the home for mum. The staff are exceptional when it comes to caring for the residents, not they aren't residents they are family they look after them like their own. Nothing
is every too much trouble and gets done straight away (like asking for a bacon sandwich). I can't thank each and every staff member enough for the caring of everything for our mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been cared for at Rowan Court Care Home for nearly three years before he died in February 2025. He was always treated with dignity and with thoughtful care. He clearly welcomed the attention of care and nursing staff. He enjoyed heartily the meals, and engaged staff with good humour. The
care during the last month of his life was sincere and exemplary.
I cannot speak too highly of the home.

All staff have a very positive attitude and are fully aware of my mother's care plan along with her daily needs. Care staff are caring and flexible in meeting individual requests. The food quality and hygiene standards are excellent. A daily programme of activities keeps residents monitored and socially
involved. The home keeps relatives completely updated on their doctor's appointments and prescription needs.

Rowan Court Care Home is truly excellent! The staff (each and everybody) are kind, caring, happy and personable. They show empathy for each of the residents and do not talk down to those with greater needs. I am so grateful for the given to my mother who is always smiling and happy as a consequence
of the love and dedication of the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law has been a resident at Rowan Court for just over 2 months now. Choosing the right residential home can be problematic, but my wife and I were immensely impressed with our initial contact and the politeness and professionalism of all staff. Safe to say, he has settled in remarkably well,
he’s made new friends and all staff are extremely kind and supportive toward him. We have expressed our thanks to the manager, and in particular, the following staff have all impressed us with reception, admin, and the many excellent carers including the exceptional senior carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum entered Rowan Court at the most difficult time -- after a fall at home and just as the Covid lockdown was starting. My sister found Rowan Court, and we could not have made a better choice. I live in the United States, but everyone I spoke to on my weekly phone calls was so positive and friendly.
During the time she was there, through her 100th birthday and to her recent passing, the personal care and love that she received was all that we could have hoped for. Thank you so much for all that you do for your residents and their families!

The lady I support and visit regularly has been at Rowan Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare for the past 16 months. The staff have been fantastic since she arrived here after a four month hospital stay. They are always friendly and show empathy. The reception staff are always courteous and helpful.
There is a warm and welcoming feeling at Rowan Court and it is a homely environment where the care and consideration for the residents is always a priority.

My mother has settled in well. I have found the staff to be helpful and caring. They keep us informed of changes to medication and other health issues.
It is obvious that staff are, at times, under pressure, but they maintain their caring, friendly and cheerful attitude.
We are very happy with the
care that our mother receives.

I find the home warm and welcoming - my dad has only been a resident for a short period but already the team of carers seem great, supportive and have supported my dad. I feel as positive as possible. I feel that my dad is cared for and safe, which is my main importance. Thank you.

Excellent quality of care. All carers are well trained and behave in a kindly manner. Carers provide a happy environment and demonstrate a high degree of patience, often in demanding circumstances. The home provides a wide range of activities designed to stimulate the residents. Rowan Court Care Home
has exceeded expectations for the care of my wife, who is totally immobile with zero short-term memory. She is in very good hands.

Review from Susan J (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found Rowan Court whilst Mum was in an alternative home and I am so pleased I did. The help that I had from management staff prior to transferring Mum was outstanding. The depth of knowledge and willingness to pass it on helped me to navigate the system. I was on a big learning curve on how things
work and the help and understanding I received made a difficult task easier. This level of caring was then found throughout the home from all of the staff. It is hard to put the care of your loved one into a stranger's hands, but the reassurance I get when I visit, that Mum is being cared for so well and kept safe and happy gives me peace of mind. There is genuine towards the residents and their families.
My plan is that Mum will spend the rest of her life in a loving environment, surrounded by people she knows and loves.

The basic care is good. The staff are friendly and attentive.
At times the detail of care could be improved to make the resident's life more pleasant, for example; I often used to clean the wax from hearing aids and replace the batteries. Sometimes nails need trimming. Overall, a very good home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Rowan Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.855 for Rowan Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.855
  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 4.921 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rowan Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 14 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.921
  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.
