I will share your lovely feedback with the team. We remain committed to providing compassionate, person-centred, and high-quality care to all our service users.
it is my opinion that many staff here at Dora Rose go beyond what there role is and take an interest in the person, this is both refreshing + reassuring.

Dora Rose Care home is an amazing place, at the time I had never visited a care home, but my health was deteriorating and my friends were becoming concerned. They thought it would be a good idea to look at some homes. They found Dora Rose and an appointment was made to look around. We were shown around and all our questions were answered. I was apprehensive at first but my friends explained there would always be people around, which is what I had had all my life until the last few years. I agreed to 2 weeks respite care, and here I am 5 years later!! The care is fantastic, they treat you as if you were the only resident. Any health issues are dealt with immediately, the doctor attends every Wednesday.

I have visited a resident several times over the xmas and New Year period. I have found the premises nicely decorated for the time of year. My resident seemed to be very happy here. With my wife, we attended the carol service. It was nice to see a fair amount of residents really enjoying the evening. The staff are very committed to their roles. It's a pleasure to see quality care.
Thank you so much for your comments. I will ensure your comments are passed on to the team at Dora Rose.

It is difficult to give a tick box answer. I have ticked satisfactory, but this is unfair to staff who are good and excellent. Others let them down. My experience has been good, but could be better. I understand there is a problem with a shortage of staff in all care homes at present, and allow for this when I should perhaps complain.
Thank you for your comments. We staff the home to comply with CQC requirements against the number of residents we have in the home at one time. In future if you have any further comments/concerns please speak to a member of the management team or myself.

I am a little disappointed that some of Mum's nicer clothes have gone missing and also a pair of pearl earrings. Sometimes communication with Clare (manager) is slow and sometimes messages are not passed on. Otherwise, I am very pleased.
Many thsnks for your feedback, your concerns rearding communication have been addressed with staff to ensure they are aware of your feedback.

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. We have appointed new staff to Dora Rose and they all have name badges issued, unfortunately sometimes their start date is prior to the badges arriving. Wearing their name badges is part of uniform policy and all staff are checked daily. We have a residents meeting on 18th November at 2pm should you wish to address any points further. Myself and Claire (home Manager) are also around in the home to discuss your points.

The facilities and staff are excellent and the positive impact on my Mum since she entered Dora Rose has been great. She entered the home in early 2025 and is now happier, more alert and more engaging than she was before. This is a testament to the care that she is receiving.
