Our Mum has been at Rowan Lodge for just under a year and we have been very pleased with the care she has received. The staff are amazing and it is a huge relief to know that she is happy and well cared for. Her room, and in fact the whole of the home, is always spotlessly clean and she enjoys the activities that are arranged every day. She has her own space when she needs it but company and friendship when she chooses. We are so pleased that we found this amazing place.
Mum has been at Rowan for approx 18 months. In that time I have had nothing but praise for the overall running of the care home. The staff are attentive and caring, all client needs are taken care of including medical care. Lots of activities and a comfortable en suite bedroom. Highly recommended.

I am very grateful for the excellent and comprehensive care which my wife received while she was resident in Rowan Lodge for seven months in 2025. That care has significantly improved her general health, mobility and alertness, and has enabled her to return to her own beloved home a few days ago. I should also like to praise the staff in all levels at Rowan Lodge for their unfailing helpfulness, courtesy and friendliness to the residents and their visitors. During my visits I was always favourably impressed by the effective management of Rowan Lodge, its cleanliness and its attractive environment. I would certainly recommend Rowan Lodge as very suitable for anyone needing respite of long-term care.

I am very pleased with dad's care so far. I have made very regular visits and always the care home is clean, well staffed and welcoming. At a difficult time for the family we feel fully confident in the level of nursing, care and support dad has received. A very well run care home with an excellent reputation.
From first enquiring, through introduction, taking up residence, I have nothing but kindness, understanding and efficiency. This Lodge is outstanding in its standards of care, safety and kindness.

We thoroughly recommend Rowan Lodge for its comprehensive and empathetic care across the range of needs including dementia care.The care home is comfortable,well run,offers excellent facilities and menu, has a pleasant small garden and patios overlooking green countryside.Care has been sensitively adjusted over mum's time of occupation to fit her mental and physical health as she passes 2 years living at Rowans and approaches her 100th birthday.The 24/7 nursing care is diligent and thorough,mum's very survival having been secured by prompt action.The carers are genuinely caring and patient ,within reason nothing too much trouble,and staff strive to secure a good relationship.The family and mum's friends are always made welcome,whether on physical visits or online.Good communal events and many engaging activities are arranged for residents to choose from if interested and according to personal preference.

My mum has been in there for 5 months and the level of care she has experienced has been exceptional. It is extremely well-staffed and nothing is too much trouble. On my many visits to see mum, I have only witnessed a high level of care and attention to all of the residents.
Thank you Rowan Lodge for looking/caring for Mum.

My mother went into Rowan Lodge Care Home in December 2021 and straight away felt at home and still does three years later. After a fall this year she is now in a wheelchair and is very deaf and finds it difficult to communicate, but its a credit to all caring, nursing and entertainment staff she is still very happy. Many thanks to all Rowen Lodge staff.

We are very happy with the excellent care that my mother receives at Rowan Lodge. She has complex needs and the nursing team does a great job in managing this and supporting us, whilst the whole carer team interacts with her in a warm, friendly and attentive way. It is clear that she is very fond of her carers and vice versa. Rowan Lodge puts on a great range of activities, which Mum enjoyed when she was first living there, although sadly she is now at a stage where she cannot participate.
The care that my mother has received since arriving at Rowan Lodge has been second to none. The staff are so caring and treat the residents with respect and dignity. My mother has communication issues but the staff have taken time to get to know her and can now accurately anticipate what she is...
The care that my mother has received since arriving at Rowan Lodge has been second to none. The staff are so caring and treat the residents with respect and dignity. My mother has communication issues but the staff have taken time to get to know her and can now accurately anticipate what she is asking for. We are always made very welcome when we visit, the home is light, bright and modern and there is always something happening, from themed days, exercise sessions, quizzes and pamper time. Mum is very happy which makes us happy. I would highly recommend Rowan Lodge.

My mother has been well looked after since moving in 4 months ago. she has struggled with settling in but the activities, care and nursing team have been very helpful. Sometimes it has been very hard for me to accept how she is and the staff have gone out of their way to provide me with reassurance that she is enjoying the activities (even though she has little memory from minute to minute). I am particularly pleased with the activities team as they are always so upbeat and happy to be there. The team really seem to enjoy their jobs. Moving a loved one into a home is very hard emotionally, but I feel that my mother is receiving the best care possible.
Rowan Lodge is a wonderful home for my dad. He went there for emergency respite after a fall a year ago, and he chose to stay permanently. The staff appear to genuinely care for him; they enjoy his company as much as he does theirs, and I know that he is safe and extremely well cared for. The home...
There are always activities for residents to take part in if they wish, including occasional trips out. I am most happy that the staff recognise the residents as individuals and do their very best to help them continue doing the activities and hobbies they enjoy. Friends and family are always welcome.
I look forward to seeing the menu when I visit my father-in-law and I know he really enjoys meal times and cups of tea or coffee and snacks in between.
There is plenty of variety and choice every day.

My family and I have been delighted with the care provided to my 98 year old mother since she moved into Rowan Lodge in November 2022. To be quite honest I wish that I’d moved her to Rowan Lodge sooner! The home is quite simply wonderful in all aspects with laughter and the sound of activity buzzing every time I’ve visited. Everyone on the nursing, care, activities, catering, housekeeping and management teams provided the utmost care and attention to my mum throughout her stay and the end of life care was fantastic, not just towards my mum but also for my family and myself. I can’t recommend Rowan Lodge highly enough, for anyone looking for a care/nursing home for their relative.

Rowan Lodge is a lovely home. My father is really happy there. The staff are friendly and extremely caring. Care is tailored to each individual resident. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is plentiful, varied and of excellent quality. There are always lots of activities for the residents to join in. At Christmas, there were several parties and a pre-Christmas lunch for families to go to. Everything is included in the fees. I couldn't wish for him to be anywhere better.
The staff were all superb. Nothing was too much trouble for them, always willing and happy to help. The cleanliness of the whole home was absolutely spotless, and the lounges were so comfortable with a beautiful outlook. You also have an amazing manageress, she is a star.
