Review from David B (Son of Resident) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has been in residential care at Roop Cottage for over 12 months now. We visit on a regular basis and in that time we have found the staff and carers to be attentive, friendly and above all caring. Any issues we have are addressed promptly and we feel we are listened to and not dismissed. The carers do a great job in sometimes challenging circumstances. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Roop Cottage to the families of residents with special needs/dementia.
↩Reply from Sarah Durham, Registered Manager at Roop Cottage

Review from Hannah R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My grandad was in Roop Cottage for 5 and a half years with Alzheimer's until he passed away in February 2020. The care he received here was second to none and from the moment he was admitted, we felt assured he was in the very best of hands and his needs were catered for. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and genuinely care for the residents.

Overall Experience
My dad was a resident with you. As a family we can't thank you enough for your care and understanding shown towards him, from walking through the front door you were made welcome, all staff was so kind and friendly, even up to my dad's last days the care and compassion shown was out of this world. I would recommend Roop Cottage to every body.

Review from Alan R (Son of Resident) published on 21 September 2015 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Wanted to comment on care my Father received after one day at Roop.
I have been impressed by staff's willingness to offer help and sort out needs. Dad wanted to watch Formula 1 and staff tried to facilitate this. Also quickly identified urine infection (missed by hospital) and got treatment sorted (with my help).
Its important for staff to be recognised for good work.
