My father had the best possible care at Watermead Rose. The staff were fabulous and caring and always went above and beyond to support my father in his last days there. The staff are kind and caring and we feel as a family they were amazing until the end of his life. Just thank you to each and every
one of you.

This care home has been so important to me and my family. They have cared for my husband for five months and there aren’t words to express our gratitude. From the manager, office staff, nurses, care workers, catering staff, cleaners and laundry staff we have received a five-star service and we shall
miss our contact with them. We recommend this wonderful nursing home wholeheartedly.

Review from J F (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home is very welcoming on entering and staff are friendly and polite. I do feel there are sometimes not enough staff, especially where some residents require 1:1 care, leaving others waiting long periods of time to be taken to toilet etc.
Entry and exit at weekends can be difficult waiting for
staff members.
Some meals appear 'dry' with no gravy or sauce offered.
Reply from Lorraine Shannon, Customer Relationship Manager at Watermead Rose Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We value all feedback and we are pleased to learn, following your review, your concerns have been discussed with the home manager. We would like to reassure you that any resident with 1:1 care, would not affect the care delivered to other residents as this individual would have a dedicated 1:1 carer. We can confirm that none of our residents are in receipt of 1:1 care and our staffing ratios are based on need and are currently 1:4. Should you feel your concerns have not been fully addressed, please contact info@macccare.com for further support.

I cannot express enough how welcoming the staff are, they are never too busy to have a chat with me and keep me informed. The level of care is outstanding and the rooms are always spotless, nothing is ever too much for any of the staff. I couldn't be more happier for my friend to be cared for, it brings
peace of mind to know he is safe and so well cared for.

My mum is being looked after to a very high standard, and she has all her care needs met. She is happy and relaxed and has not looked so well for a long time. The staff and management management are all very approachable and act on any questions or concerns. This is an excellent care home for any family
member to live. It gets a 5-star from me that's for sure.

My dad was in Watermead Rose for end-of-life care, all the staff I came into contact with was helpful, kind and supportive. One of his nurses was outstanding! She took time to see if myself and my wife were ok. She even had time to see if we were eating and drinking as we stopped by my dad's bedside
for his last 48 hours. Thank you very much.

We have been to many care homes, but this one comes out on top. From the moment one enters they are greeted by a warm welcome. Every single staff is very pleasant and well-trained. We are so impressed by the cleanliness and care, that we also thought of joining here.
This care home is well-supervised

My dad was admitted three weeks ago for end-of-life care. The room was very comfortable and cosy. The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking availability was much appreciated. During my dad's final 48 hours, the staff were caring and sympathetic which was much appreciated. The use of the lounge area
during those final hours and after provided relief. It is just a shame my dad didn't get to make the most of the facilities and surroundings.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.894)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.894) out of 10 for Watermead Rose Nursing 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 76 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 75 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 4.894 for Watermead Rose Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (822 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 887 Ratings = 4.894
  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 Watermead Rose Nursing Home is based on 75 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 75 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.
