Review from Mary F (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A very big thank you to all the staff at Rockfield. My mam is a resident for the last 2 years. From caring, cleaning, hairdressing, cooking, entertaining, liturgical and medical needs my mam is so well looked after. As her daughter, it is very reassuring to see that she is very happy in Rockfield. There is a great atmosphere in Rockfield and the staff are always welcoming and I am always kept informed of any issues regarding Mam. From social media posts, I can see the activities that are happening in the care home and it is lovely to see all the activities the staff and residents get involved with. It is great to see the kids from the local schools going into Rockfield and connecting with the residents. The Christmas play was brilliant.

Reply from Gavin Kelly, Director at Rockfield Care Home

Overall Experience

My mum came into Rockfield Nursing Home on Friday 22nd December. She was a bit unsettled the first day which is understandable with new people and a different environment. Over the next few days, she settled, seemed much calmer and happier and this was such a relief for all the family. The staff are absolutely wonderful, they show mummy the utmost greatest respect, they are so caring and mummy is treated with tremendous dignity, they are warm-hearted. She has started to interact with the other residents and as she's quiet, this is great. We can only thank everyone so much for all the care they show our mum.

Reply from Gavin Kelly, Director at Rockfield Care Home

Overall Experience

All staff are considerate and caring with my mother. Some go beyond helpful and make her so content. They are always there when she needs them. She enjoys activities and is very happy with the meals provided. When she has been unwell the nurses have been caring and have contacted medical support quickly. Very clean rooms.

Review from J T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 19 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff went over and above to provide a christmassy atmosphere. There was a wonderful variety of crafts, choirs, musicians and dancers and the staff all joined in and encouraged the residents to participate if they could. No resident was left out and every day there was some sort of entertainment. It is lovely to see all the photographs too especially for relatives who don't live nearby and can't get to visit all the time. Nothing is ever any bother for the staff of Rockfield Care Home.

My mother-in-law has a great big room with all her home comforts. She is safe, warm and comfortable.

Overall Experience
Mum feels very safe and happy in Rockfield Care Home. She has weekly activities, mass, hairdressing, crafts and singing - both activity ladies are amazing with the residents.

Rockfield is open to new approaches and support Mum using video calls to see her family. Rockfield feels like a family and the nursing and caring staff are excellent.

Reply from Gabriel Neculau, Home Manager at Rockfield Care Home

Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident of Rockfield for over 15 months. She has received excellent care and, aged 84, is now healthier and happier than at any time since my father passed away.
Rockfield staff are first class, and the activities, in particular, are brilliant.

Overall, the best care around.

Reply from Gavin Kelly, Director at Rockfield Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review the care we deliver to your mum at Rockfield. It is great to note that your mum is healthier and happier than she has been and that you hold our team in such high regard. We will do our best to continue.

Review from M M (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My dad spent seven months in hospital and was finally transferred to Rockfield Care Home 2 weeks ago. He seems to have settled in well. The staff have all been very caring, kind and supportive towards my dad and the rest of my family. The manager has been very welcoming and helpful in settling Dad in and ensuring his receiving the best care. It has made this difficult and emotional time just that bit more manageable and easier to cope with. Unfortunately due to a problem with Dad's chair he is unable to leave his room at present but hopefully this will be sorted soon so Dad can join in with the other residents on activities available here.

Reply from Gavin Kelly, Director at Rockfield Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time to place a lovely review. We are glad to note that we have been able to assist both you and your dad during his initial admission and beyond. We hope that the Occupational Health team in the Southern HSC Trust are able to resolve your dad's chair so he can integrate more fully with all activities in the home.

Overall Experience

This is my mother's first ever stay in a care home and we couldn't have asked for any better! The staff were very accommodating when it came to her privacy and dignity. I myself found them all very helpful and approachable. Mum had her birthday during her stay and I arrived in the middle of her outdoor party, which included a home-cooked delicious cake. Thanks and congratulations to Rockfield Care Home!

Deepest gratitude to each and every one of the amazing staff for the excellent care and kindness shown to my mother during her stay. The staff are truly efficient and friendly and the level of care is of the highest standards. The home itself is spotless and all residents are catered to fully at all times.

I hold Rockfield Care Home and its outstanding staff in the highest regard for support and kindness towards residents and families, phenomenal!

Overall, I am very happy with the care my mother is receiving within your care. Mum is always well-presented and content upon my visits. Mum is very capable of raising any concerns he has with any aspect if her care. The cleanliness of the home is always immaculate and praise should be given to the staff for upholding these standards, as there isn't many homes that don't display unkind smells. Many thanks for caring for our mum so well.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Marian M (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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) published on 6 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.
