Residents have a perscribed diet from SALT and are refereed as required. It is a legal requirement to follow the persribed diet. We have to wait for a resident to be reviewed before we can alter a diet this is an NHS service and unfortunately we have to wait until they visit. The games cupboard has many board games available and the activities team are available to chat.We have regular visitors to the home for "entertainment" purposes this week we had armchair exercises, today we have a church visit. This weekend we are celebrating a special birthday. As with any product entertainers come at a high cost and we have to ensure we offer something for everyone. We do not have physiotherapy input unless perscribed again this is an NHS service and not something we would provide as a nursing home however, if required this can be purchased from a private source.If you have any further concerns please do not hesitate to speak to member of staff who can help with this.

We are committed to providing the best care for our residents. We are, however, really sorry that you feel this way. This is not the experience or feedback reviews of the vast majority of our residents and their families. We are confident that Rowans Care Centre is a caring place with compassionate and professional staff. Regarding your concerns about the staff, we want to emphasise that our team, including agency staff, receive comprehensive training to ensure the highest standards of care and we apologise if you have felt otherwise. As per the needs of the care service, there is an expectation that the manager has to spend time in the office due to their role-specific management duties, however, we will continue to monitor this and make improvements should we need to.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.475) out of 10 for Rowans Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.475 for Rowans Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 278 Ratings = 4.475
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 Rowans Care Centre is based on 21 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 21 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.

A warm welcome to our vibrant and caring home at the Rowans!
At Rowans Care Centre, our commitment goes beyond providing exceptional care - we're about building warm relationships and fostering a family atmosphere that defines our community.
As a proud Home Manager, I believe great care goes further than rules and regulations. It's about real human relationships and emotions, knowing each resident's story, and treating them like family. Making a difference in people's lives and being part of that transformative journey are the driving forces behind my dedication.
At the Rowans, everyone has a say in every aspect of their lives. From supporting hobbies to crafting personalised meal plans, we champion autonomy and choice.
Creating a positive and inclusive environment is at the core of what we do, for both residents and team members. At the Rowans, everyone is encouraged to feel a sense of belonging, have a voice, feel valued, collaborate, and have the resources they need.
To those considering the Rowans for their loved ones, know that your family is as important to us as they are to you. We care not only for your loved one but for you too.
I would be more than happy to discuss your search for care further. Feel free to call me for a friendly chat.
