Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at Rosewood for two years now, and I can't speak highly enough of all Rosewood staff in the care they have shown to my mum. The past 12 months have been very challenging due to the pandemic, but they have dealt with all the extra demands this has brought marvellously. I wouldn't hesitate
to recommend Rosewood to anyone who is considering care for an elderly relative.

My auntie and father are both at Rosewood and the care they have received is excellent. The staff are very friendly, professional and caring. The management and the staff always have the time to talk to me about how my auntie and father are doing and always happy to help. I would recommend Rosewood

As a niece of one of the residents in Rosewood House I’m extremely happy with the care that she receives. The staff are very professional and caring. They have shown such professionalism during the COVID 19 pandemic keeping all the residents safe and keeping the families updated with what is happening

Keep up the good work.

Review from Ray C (Husband of Resident) published on 12 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife moved to Rosewood House from a challenging behaviour unit. At first, I was worried would she accept the change, would the care be at a level previously received. I would just like to say Rosewood staff are amazing, the wife is extremely comfortable and relaxed and gets very pampered. Nothing
seems too much bother from carers to management all make both my wife and I at home. Food is top-notch, place is immaculate from room to social areas to gardens. Did I mention how caring and professional the carers are? This is a care home above others, well done and thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As soon as we entered Rosewood, we had a good feeling about the place.
The staff/team are excellent.
Over the 2.5 years my mum was there, the staff had changed, but the feeling and friendliness always remained.
Also, excellent medical care.
I would like to name some of the staff, but I won't in
case I miss someone out.
This is an excellent, caring place for your loved one.

My grandma is in Rosewood, the staff are very friendly, and it is a lovely care home. I have been able to speak to my grandma on the phone through the covid 19 viruses, and it is so hard not seeing my grandma, but the staff have been wonderful in letting me speak to her any time of day. Also, it is
wonderful news that we will be able to visit now.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 93-year-old auntie was suffering from age-related dementia when she entered Rosewood House, and now I call her the born again woman. She has settled into the home very well and enjoys the home-cooked meals, sponge cakes, and puddings. She enjoys all of the activities, which include art, armchair
keep fit, and many more, but her favourite is singing along to all of the old songs. She enjoys the company of the residents and the busy life in the home.
The staff are amazing, caring, and compassionate to the residents and know them all by name. It's peace of mind for me to know she is in a wonderful, clean home, being looked after by dedicated staff who genuinely care for her.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.540)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.540) out of 10 for Rosewood House 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 4.899 for Rosewood House is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.899
  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 4.641 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rosewood House is based on 10 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.641
  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.
