Lovely staff. Extremely friendly and caring.
Really nice care home. They do the best they can with the tools they have.
For improvement I'd suggest more staff to support the demand from patients. Dementia is extremely challenging and it puts strain on the residents as well as visitors.
More
support is needed for staff and visitors but otherwise it's lovely.
Feel more activities would be good.
And regular towels being provided in bedrooms which we asked for multiple times.

I visit my friend on regular, always without prior notice. I have found the greeting from staff always friendly and very helpful. I describe Rownhams Manor as 5 star in every way. Well done team.

Fantastic interactions from staff with residents throughout. Nothing is too much trouble.
Mum was 90 today and we had a small celebration for her at the home where we could decorate an area for her as a surprise and there was a small buffet and Birthday cake for her. Very memorable occasion for us

I was really impressed with the overall effect of how you felt as soon as you entered the complex. It was bright and airy, spotlessly clean and well decorated. In addition, the staff were always smiling and very helpful and accommodating. This feeling of warmth and contentment remained with me as I
entered the communal lounge and dining room. Finally, my best friend's room was really nice; in fact, it was far better than a lot of hotel rooms I have stayed in.

We spent 4 weeks at Rownhams having respite care. Staff were kind, caring and hardworking. The food was very good and our clients were well catered for. The rooms were kept clean by lovely friendly cleaners and our clothes were whisked away by the laundry staff only to reappear a couple of days
later beautifully clean and ironed! Activities such as exercises, trips etc, were fun and we returned home with recharged batteries. Thank you for caring for us!

Like many, I was naturally anxious about my wife coming into a care home. The facilities here are 5 star and everything you would expect of a luxury home. What makes the building a home is the wonderful staff. They are really special from the bottom up. All, including the CEO are accessible. The
food is delicious and well prepared and presented. Snacks and drinks are always available. Rooms are modern and clean and comfortable. There is plenty of activities and entertainment to keep residents busy all day if they choose. My wife has already been on trips out as well. The gardens are peaceful and planned with thought to nature and sensory planting. Everything you want in you own home is here. But more important to me is that my wife has only been here a short time but is happy and settled. If you are looking for a home for a loved one, this would be an excellent choice.

We have had a really good experience of Rownhams Manor. The transition from my mums home to the care home has been faultless. The staff, the facilities , the food are all excellent. I will definitely be recommending it to other people.

My husband came here with dementia when he found the place we lived in was too noisy, busy, too many people, traffic, children and sirens.
He loved the space and airiness of Rownhams Manor and the peace of its surroundings. He enjoyed interaction with the staff and he settled really quickly and he
was very happy. Unfortunately a fall which snapped the head of his femur necessitated a length stay in hospital which added to his fear and confusion and brought out his negative behaviours which RM could not cater for.

The staff are friendly and helpful. They treat my mother with respect. They do their best to cater for individual needs and preferences. They make time to get to know visitors too. They help foster friendships between the residents. They encourage social activities. We took advantage of part
deferred payment while a house was being sold which was very useful.

Totally happy with the care that my mother is getting.Staff are all very kind and helpful. It was a very difficult decision for us to put her into a home but since her dementia got worse we were unable to keep her at home. The care home had only 7 residents when she moved in and she settled in
straight away.

When my sister was suddenly in need of care we visited many care homes and Rownhams Manor stood out and was exactly care she needed. They are very friendly and are able to cater for all her needs. She has her own ensuite and the bedroom is large enough so she can use her walking stick with out
clashing with the furniture. She likes the small dining rooms to eat in and the communal areas have plenty of chairs to sit in, they also have small rooms to talk to your family in. All in all, a lovely environment.

My mum had a very good experience during a short respite stay. The day after she came back home, she said she wanted to return for good and didn't want to consider other homes because she thought the staff were excellent and she had made friends there. Mum is returning permanently in 2 days.
Permanent care is a huge decision as it involves the sale of a family home and parting ways with belongings but mum is positive about the decision and is looking forward to it.
The staff and facilities are excellent, and Rownhams Manor is sociable and inviting. All residents seem to be very content.

Staff put on a lovely high tea for my mum (a resident) and my wife. The team were all very welcoming and set things up in a separate room from other residents so that we could talk privately with Mum as she is hard of hearing. Complements to the chef who prepared a tasty spread.

We had a delicious afternoon tea with my mother-in-law. It was thoughtfully served in the Garden Room so we could chat as a family group. The cake stand was beautifully presented and the cakes and scones were very tasty! Thank you to the chef and staff.

Rownhams Manor is a fantastic care home and its ethos of resident-centric care has meant Dad has settled in quickly, despite never wanting to end up in a care home. The food is amazing and he now looks really healthy, I don't think he is going to have any issues getting to at least 100 with the care
he is getting.
The atmosphere when you walk in is lively, the staff are all very friendly and you can visit whenever you like, so it means I can pop in after work.
All in all, Rownhams Manor is the best care home I've seen in the area, and it is a relief to know he's in a home where he's happy and well cared for.

I've found my experience welcoming and relaxed and the staff are very helpful and caring with my Father. Good to have quality time with my Father and have a meal. 10/10.

I find Rownhams Manor wonderful. From day one I couldn't ask for any more than the staff are already providing for my parents. The facilities are more than a five-star hotel. Food is exceptional as I have personally had some meals at the Care Home myself. We are always welcomed at front door from
the staff. We are well informed on my parents' health and well-being. All the residents are also just as nice and I cannot fault the home.

Rownhams Manor is a fantastic care home. From the moment we first visited we knew my mum would be very happy here. Like many people she was very nervous about such a big change in her life but all the staff have welcomed her with open arms, she has settled in very well and has made some good new
friends.
The bedrooms and lounge areas are lovely and mum loves sitting outside in the garden, watching what's going on and chatting with staff, other residents and their visitors. She also enjoys watching movies in the cinema room.
Most important of all, it's the fantastic staff that make Rownhams Manor such a great place, everyone is so kind, helpful and caring. Highly recommended.

I visit a friend quite often and I find the service excellent and very good. Everybody who works there, is very helpful.
18 September 2024
I cannot praise and thank ALL the staff at Rownhams Manor enough. Their care, friendliness, compassion, understanding and professionalism are outstanding. They treat both residents and their families with respect and are always available to chat through any situation. The property is beautiful and
more like a hotel than a care home. 5 stars from us.
