My father in law arrived at this nursing home 2 weeks ago for end of life nursing care after 6 weeks of investigations at 3 different hospitals to be diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was a very able, active man up until 3 months ago when his problems became apparent and consequently is now bed bound
but has his sense of humour and mental capacity fully apparent. The staff here are wonderful, caring, and supportive from management right through to ancillary housekeeping personnel. The entertainment group visit him personally as he's unable to join in group activities, and he enjoys visits from friends and relatives.

Home sweet home. That is what Watermead Rose became for our Dad for six months until the end of his life.
Dad was no longer lonely; he made friends, actively took part each day in the many activities the home provides and he was cared for as an individual.
Our unique Dad's needs were met by all the
staff from each department, which helps make Watermead Rose the home that it is. All this was delivered with compassion, dignity and respect and also extended to the family. We all became part of the Watermead family. Which we will all remember.. Thank you, each & every one of you for all that you do.

Reply from Sue Estcourt, Customer Relationship Manager at Watermead Rose Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of Watermead and for your heartfelt comments. This will mean so much to the team who care for each resident as an individual. It was our pleasure to care for your amazing Dad, seeing the enjoyment he got from attending the activities warmed our hearts. Thank you to your whole family for your kindness. Your lovely Dad is missed by us all.

Both my parents have been at this care home. My dad died a year ago. They have both been cared for really well. My mum continues to live there & the staff are all very supportive of her and they listen to her needs. Always plenty of activities to do & children visit, which my mum loves. Everywhere is
clean. My mum feels safe. She is treated like family.

for my father, you hear horror stories about carehomes but every night our family manbers left knowing that my father was in good hands and informed daily on what happened during the night, such a lovely family from careers, nurses to even the cleaners which all come to greet my father which made the experience amazing would recommend this carehome to everyone, like a 5star hotel, absolutely fantastic, words can't even describe how blessed my Dad was to looked after by such beautiful and caring humans, who love there jobs!!

Incredible staff - they truly feel like family. It was like receiving care in a home-away-from-home environment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a compassionate, family-oriented team. Thank you so much for everything you did for my father-in-law; words can't fully express how grateful
we are.

This care home has been wonderful for my dad. He has been cared for by all the lovely care staff and nurses, as he would have done if we bought him home. I would like to thank the team for their personal touch calling my dad 'Kaka' (uncle) when feeding or dressing him. A true home from home.

Reply from Sue Estcourt, Customer Relationship Manager at Watermead Rose Nursing Home

Your review means so much for our team, thank you for writing it. We are so pleased you felt the team supported 'Kaka' with personal touches that made him feel valued and respected. Thinking of you all.

Delighted with the care and attention that is given. It is the unexpected that is so impressive. Like a carer returning to work after time away made an effort to visit and introduce themselves. The communication is great and staff make themselves available to answer questions. I am 100% confident in
the care being given.

It has been extremely difficult for our family having to accept that we needed to access care and support from a nursing home. My husband was admitted to Watermead Rose at the beginning of the year. From the moment I stepped into the reception area I felt that I'd made the right decision and six weeks
on I haven't experienced any doubts. Recently one of the carers summed it up when she said that the staff not just care for their residents, they care for their families. Every single member of the army of staff have treated my husband and our family as individuals and have done their absolute utmost to provide care which is tailored and personal. This facility is absolutely outstanding.

Reply from Sue Estcourt, Customer Relationship Manager at Watermead Rose Nursing Home

A huge thank you for taking the time to write this heartfelt review. Our staff feel privileged to care for our residents here at Watermead Rose. We are delighted that you and your family feel valued as part of our Watermead family too. I will ensure our team of care and nursing staff read your review, as well as the wider teams who play their part in making Watermead a warm and welcoming environment. We are thrilled you feel our home is outstanding, thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.867)

Review Score Change Log

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.867) out of 10 for Watermead Rose Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 67 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.867 for Watermead Rose Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (710 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 780 Ratings = 4.867

  • b) 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 Watermead Rose Nursing Home is based on 66 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 66 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Commissioning Home Manager

Joined: 2021

I started working in the care industry when I was 18, after developing a passion for care due to my mum needing regular hospital care when I was a child.


I have since worked in various different settings gaining skills and experience through each of these settings, including physical disabilities, learning disabilities and young people services.


In recent years I have been a manager of a complex physical disabilities nursing service where I was responsible for improving the CQC rating and then moved on to regional management.


I live with my partner and I have a daughter who is also a nurse in Leeds. When not at work I like long walks with my dogs and getting out and about in the countryside
