Was very impressed when I visited the home. I came in unannounced and was made so welcome and shown around the rooms.
Excellent!

I just want to say a big thank you to the Manager and the entire staff at Rockfield for their continuing care of my aunt. Everyone shows respect, kindness and love to her and they all know how she likes things right down to her hot cup of tea and her wee comfort dog always under her arm. I must give
a special mention to one of the nurses who looks after the spiritual needs of the residents and for older people this is so important - well done to each and everyone of you, you are appreciated more than words can say.

The staff at Rockfield Care Home consistently provide great care to our grandmother. They keep the family informed of any issues that arise and they are willing to answer our questions when we enquire about her. It is a little difficult to comment fully as we couldn't visit but during this challenging
time, they seem to continue to look after her very well and provide her with comforts and look after her needs. Thank you.

Review from M H (Respite Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 6 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was a resident in Rockfield for 6 weeks. The first 2 weeks as a step down from hospital and 4 weeks respite. The staff have been friendly, caring and respectful. All of my needs from spiritual to nursing to caring have been looked after. I am 86-years-old and would recommend this care home without
hesitation - it was also very good to spend time with my sister who is a resident here. Thank you to the management and staff.

The wonderful staff of Rockfield have been a huge help to my family, giving us comfort in knowing that my auntie is very well looked after. The home has a warm, homely feeling and a wide range of daytime activities are absolutely fantastic.

Excellent care home. Very caring, considerate, professional, and truly compassionate at all times. The Home put the residents first and support the family. My Mum was a resident in Rockfield Care Home for over 2 years until she sadly passed away recently. The staff and manager could not do enough for
Mum and for the family. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband came to Rockfield from hospital in November 2019 for respite care. On 25th November he went to hospital for an overnight stay and returned to Rockfield. The acute care team came in each day for his medication, this was given with assistance of Rockfield staff. After one week, district nurses
came in, again assisted by the staff. My son and daughter-in-law are overawed by the dedication of all involved and highly recommend Rockfield Care Home.

My father came in for respite care following a hospital stay. Unfortunately, his condition worsened and he remained at Rockfield for end of life care. The staff at all times treated him with the utmost dignity and respect. They were ever attentive to his care and medical needs which were completed in
a timely manner without requiring prompting. Staff were pleasant, engaging and kind towards myself and my mother who stayed for an extended period with my father in his last days. I would thoroughly recommend this home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall as a family, we are very happy with how our father is looked after. The one area I feel needs attention is activities for the residents. Have seen the scheme where nursery/reception children come in and interact with the residents and play games which seems to bring so much enjoyment to all.
I think it would be something that would be very much looked forward. Thank you.

This home has an amazing location. It is bright, cheerful and staff are friendly and accommodating. I visit and find the home to be clean, fresh, plenty of staff on duty. We are offered a cup of tea if it's being served which I always think is kind.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.918) out of 10 for Rockfield Care Home 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.918 for Rockfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 415 Ratings = 4.918
  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 Rockfield Care Home is based on 35 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 35 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.
