Review from P K (Nephew of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My partner and I visited my aunt in the afternoon for one and a half hours, we conformed to the rules of wearing masks as required. My aunt was asleep part of the time due to having a busy morning but she did wake and we chatted, but she has dementia and is very deaf. I take a pad and pen to write words
requiring her comments. The carers came in from time to time chatting to auntie and ourselves informing us of her daily life - seeing the doctor, having her hair done, watching videos, enjoying her food. Her room and the lounge have been redecorated and the lounge refurbished.

After living at Rowans for the last three years, my mother died at the end of August and I am posting this review to highlight just how impressed I have been by the care given to her during her time here. All the management and staff have been so kind, caring and compassionate to Mum throughout her
stay and also very welcoming and supportive to all her family during visits and so on. In the final few days, they made sure that Mum was always comfortable and that I always knew what was happening. I am truly grateful for their kindness and their care.

My mother has stayed in several local care homes, but none of them compare to the Rowans. The care she received here is outstanding. The staff are excellent.
My mother is always clean and well cared for by the staff; who take a personal interest in her and our family.
We are always made to feel
very welcome when we visit, Mum loves it at the Rowans.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can’t recommend The Rowans highly enough, from its compassionate care and ancillary staff, committed qualified staff, and approachable and extremely friendly management. The home is bright and airy and while it’s not the most up to date building the staff keep it clean and very well maintained. I
work within frontline health services and visit many care facilities and The Rowans knocks the socks off most of the more expensive/ larger private facilities available on this area.

My mother was only at the Rowans for a very short time but the care she received was outstanding.
They did all they could to make sure she was, at all times, clean and comfortable.
I felt confident she was always been looked after very well and really cared about her well being, all members of staff
are outstanding, I cannot praise them enough.
Many Thanks.

My father was a resident at Rowans until he sadly passed away on 19.06.17. The care and support that my father received during his short stay was outstanding. All the staff were very friendly which enabled my Dad to settle into a caring, homely environment. During the final stages before my Dad passed
away, he was treated with dignity and the end of life care provided was excellent and a great comfort to the family. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care provided.

Since my mother entered this care home 9 months ago I have never failed to be impressed by the staff - each member if dedicated and caring and, however difficult the circumstances, all of the residents are shown compassion and respect. Staff members take time to talk and listen to residents and, if
there are any concerns, these are quickly dealt with to the satisfaction of the residents.

I couldn't be more delighted with the care and safety for my mother.
The management is so welcoming and caring, also for the patient's family.
The care home goes the extra mile in everything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I was visiting care homes looking for a place for my mother, I felt the relaxed and friendly atmosphere as soon as I entered The Rowans. The home was clean and fresh smelling, unlike all the others I visited. There is an unhurried pace to The Rowans, not regimented, residents choose how to spend
the day, not all placed in the lounge at 9.00am. The rooms, activities, garden, vegetable plot are all well kept and the staff are caring and fond of the residents in my experience.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.495)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.495) out of 10 for Rowans Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 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 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.495 for Rowans Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 289 Ratings = 4.495
  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 Rowans Care Centre 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:

    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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 22 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.

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.
