"My mum moved into Rose Lodge in August 2023 for two weeks of respite, but at the point of her return home, she said she wanted to stay. She died at Rose Lodge in February 2024. The time she had in Rose Lodge was for her and her family, mostly a very positive experience. Mum found a new lease of life. She began to engage in various activities and enjoyed socialising with staff and other residents. Although Mum is not here to give her comments to this review, she had frequently told us that the staff were all lovely and she liked that she could have as many cups of tea as she wanted and didn’t have to pay a penny! Mum always greeted us with a smile when we visited and she had lots to talk about. I will always remember that she took up knitting again, something she used to do when we were children and it was lovely to see her enjoy this once more. Without exception, the staff were all amazing, and I will forever be grateful that Mum spent the last six months of her life at Rose Lodge."

"Every single staff member works hard to make Rose Lodge a safe and comfortable home, as well as a welcoming place to visit. It is a warm and friendly environment and the care/activities/support etc. provided is wonderful; I'm very grateful to everybody who works here."

"This nursing home I cannot fault quite reluctant to visit as I've had a bad experience with another nursing home with the close friend of mine but the minute I walked in the door they were friendly, professional and the home is light it's clean the food is amazing and my neighbour has never been so relaxed and so happy. Every member of staff and I mean every member of staff has a smile on their face they're welcoming you walk through the door with fresh coffee if you want it I just think it's amazing and I want to thank every single one that works there."

"Since 7th December, when Mum came into Rose Lodge, every visit has been excellent in terms of staff attitude/attitudes to myself and to Mum (as we are all on the journey). However, today felt moved to write something. First was the lady who was trying to get Mum to eat something; her kindness, caring and love even were just so touching to watch, that I could have hugged her. Then another staff member, when she needed to change her pad, just such a loving attitude towards Mum. Then so good to me regarding explanations of things, both were exceptional."

"The respite care afforded, at short notice, to both my parents-in-law was excellent overall. The staff were friendly and encouraging. Everyone was chatty and raised spirits. The food was enjoyed very much by both of them. It was nice to see how clean everything was. My husband and I wish to share how grateful we were at a difficult time. Many thanks to all the staff."

"My auntie went to Rose Lodge Care Home for end-of-life care. My cousin and I found the home to be excellent. The room was lovely and all the staff went out of their way to help the whole family. I would definitely recommend Rose Lode as an excellent place for anyone's loved ones to stay. Thank you to everyone."

"I cannot thank this care home enough for what they have done for my dad. He has thrived in Rose Lodge. My dad could not walk after being very unwell in the hospital, he is a new man after 3 weeks here. Walking to dinner and enjoying having cups of tea in the cafe area with other residents. The staff can't do enough for him from cleaners, carers, nurses, activities lady, hairdresser and cooks! The lovely happy staff speaks volumes. Made me very welcome when visiting also. Thank you so much."

"Whilst visiting my father, the staff are friendly. My father is well cared for; his room is clean and well looked after. My father is treated with respect and dignity, and his likes and dislikes are known by the staff, which shows they have taken the time to learn about my father. It gives me reassurance and comfort to know he is looked after very well by the staff. They have a full range of activities in the home, and the activities coordinator goes the extra mile. The manager and all the staff do an amazing job - can't praise them enough; thank you."

"My dad was transferred from the hospital for respite to Barchester Rose Lodge Care Home. The staff are very friendly and approachable. I called the staff every day as, as a family, we were unable to visit as my dad had Covid-19 and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent care, we cannot thank the staff enough. My dad enjoyed his time in the home and was very complimentary of the food and the staff that looked after him. A special mention to four members of staff, we are very grateful. Dad has put on weight and has made a fantastic improvement due to his care."

"Thank you to all involved in dad's care. He has put on weight, is content and settled. He is treated with respect, and we feel very involved in all matters of his care. We are very lucky that dad's stay coincides with easier visiting regulations, and we are made to feel welcome. A very caring, and homely care home, which is very well managed."

I live 2 hours away from Rose Lodge but the home has been amazing throughout Lockdown providing video link calls with my father which has been amazing, can't thank them enough for that. My dad is well cared for and the staff know his likes and dislikes. Also good communication."

"My husband has now been at Rose Lodge for over 15 years and during this time it has become his home. He is well looked after there and all of his needs are catered for. He enjoys a few activities and his TV is also a great pass time for him. The staff are friendly and helpful and all in all, feel that we chose well when we found Rose Lodge. We have just started bedroom visits, so this is making life even better for us both."

"The home has excelled itself during the challenging times of Covid 19. Even though I have only just been able to visit my brother again inside, their professionalism on the issues has been second to none. They have encouraged Skype and telephone calls, to which they have helped him to do, as he is unable to do by himself. The Garden visits last year were carefully managed. He has settled extremely well into the home and very happy that he was allowed to bring his own large screen into his bedroom as he avidly watches TV. The room itself is always clean and in all fairness, the whole home is always clean. The staff have always been approachable, friendly, and caring, which is a positive as I can't be with him 24/7 - never ever, had any qualms about leaving him. My brother's health and well-being is in safe hands with the home. He has no complaints about the food, he remarks, that they even cut it up for him! The home offers a varied programme of events, which he enjoys."

Allan G
carehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"My brother-in-law has been been a resident here since September 2019. From day 1, he received a very warm welcome from all the staff, they did not know him beforehand. Their friendliness helped him to settle in very quickly, which put other family members' minds at rest, as to whether we have made the right decision. Even on bad days, when he has been poorly, the staff have treated him in a very caring manner and they have been professional at all times. When I have chatted with him, he has enjoyed all the meals that have been served, they always look appetizing. It is a shame that we can't visit at the moment, as the cakes were always nice, with a cuppa. The programme of events that the home holds have appealed to him and he actively looks forwards to the Bingo! Even during the challenging times of Covid, the staff have been very good, helping him to make phone calls/Skype calls when visiting was prohibited. With regards to Covid, the home has been actively on the ball with this."

On the whole, Mum is well cared for (occasionally mouth and teeth care is not given). Activities girls are excellent at including Mum."

"Rose Lodge looked after my father for many years and throughout that time the staff were amazing with him and all the other residents. You couldn’t ask for a better place to entrust with your loved ones. My dad was happy there all the time. I was overwhelmed by the care the staff gave to him and his family. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Thanks Rose Lodge, you are a shining example to the care industry and all the staff are individual heroes."

"My mother was treated with respect and dignity from the moment she entered the home. She was immediately made to feel welcome and was warmly greeted by staff in a very natural and gentle way. The staff caring for her were very kind and caring with her and quickly responded to her individual needs and strengths of character in a positive way. My mother, in turn, responded to their warmth and kindness and often said when we visited that they have become friends (staff and herself). Sadly my mother passed away just 5 weeks later. Throughout the staff and management have been supportive to myself and my family, involving us all in aspects of her care. In the moment of her passing and in the hours afterwards. We have appreciated all of them. Thank you all so much."

"Although my father-in-law was only a resident for a few weeks, his end of life care could not have been better. The whole family could not have been happier and it gave them some peace of mind that he was being well cared for. At 99 years of age dad's mind was very bright and he was always ready to have a laugh and joke with staff. They also made sure that his 99th Birthday was one to remember."

"There's a time in our lives when we need the physical and emotional support of others. For my father, his time came following a period of hospitalisation - the need for care and compassion became essential for his remaining time with us. Rose Lodge provided all we could possibly ask plus peace of mind. Unfortunately, his time at Rose Lodge was to be all too short. However, it must be said that throughout his time with them there was a sense of relief in that we could have done little more for him. He became happy and content once more – like the dad we knew and wished to remember. The staff were attentive and caring with nothing, too much trouble. It's easy to praise those that you see but we shouldn't overlook those behind the scenes as they are an integral part that makes Rose Lodge work so seamlessly. As a family, we have nothing but praise for Rose Lodge and offer our sincerest thanks to everyone for their care and support throughout this difficult period in our lives."

"My mum was admitted in late June of this year for emergency respite care due to ongoing dementia issues. This has now become a permanent admission post medical reviews. Well, all I can say is positive and how very lucky we have been to find such a fantastic home for Mum. From the top down the staff are absolutely wonderful and I mean all the staff. Not only do the staff know Mum's name but they all call me by my Christian name whenever I arrive. Rooms are great, everywhere is clean, the daily activity programme is very varied, they are investing in the home, the gardens are immaculate as each turn brings a new setup. I tried to keep Mum at home and independent as long as I possibly could as I was worried where she might end up when a home was required. Not a problem with Rose Lodge. I have marked every area as 'Excellent' which is after 10 weeks. All I can say is Mum is happy and I am very happy as I have 'peace of mind' for her future. Well done everybody and I mean well done and a pat on the back to all..."

"What a wonderful care home Rose Cottage is! The staff all across the board could not be improved upon for their kindness, compassion, attention to detail and overall happiness that is infectious within its walls. Mum did not spend long with you sadly, but the warmth you extended to us all during a very difficult time was incredible and much appreciated. We cannot thank you enough or praise you enough and will never forget the atmosphere you instantly created on our arrival until and beyond the day mum died. Manager, staff and everyone, be very proud of what you achieve and the impact you must have and have had on so many people over the years. You pulled out all the “stops” for us in our hour of need and took away our fears and distress by enveloping us within your warm, safe arms. I would like to think that your home could be nominated for outstanding service to the families you accommodate at what is often their most difficult time. Many, many thanks."

"I am always welcomed from office staff. The manager knows who I am and who my mother is and I feel that she is approachable if we had any queries. The care staff always tell me how she is doing, what she has eaten and whether she has been drinking or not. Mum has dementia and is not able to communicate this to me. I feel happy that I know they will contact me if there are any problems or if mum needs anything."

"Dad came here for recuperation after a long stay in hospital. On arrival, he was scared and confused but was put at ease instantly. I think Dad was in your care for seven weeks and in that time he has gone from a shell of a man into his old self. Your staff are amazing, friendly, kind but mostly treat my father with respect and dignity. He loved his stay but is glad to be home. Thanks."

"My dad came to stay at Rose lodge for respite care from hospital. At the time of arrival, my dad was in a confused state and very weak and needed to completely rest and get his energy levels back to normal. On arrival, the staff made him feel very welcome, he arrived just after teatime but within 30 minutes of arriving he was having some tea. I could not believe the difference in my dad after a couple of days he had improved so much, the staff were always popping in to make sure that he was Ok, food and drinks as and when he wanted them. If he had not met a member of staff before they would always introduce themselves before entering so that he knew everyone. My dad stayed for around 7 weeks and in that time his energy levels improved 100% and this is owed to the fantastic jobs that all the staff do. I know that the home has an employee of the month but in our opinion, I think they all deserve to be employee of the month as nothing was too much trouble for them."

"I went to Rose Lodge to see my Aunt for the first time after she was moved there last month. I was very impressed with how welcoming the reception staff were. The lady knew exactly where to send me and the carers I spoke to while I was there knew all about my Aunt and how she was getting on. They are all lovely and I am so pleased that she is being well looked after. I was anxious about her going into a home but I think I might reserve a room for me for when the time comes!"

"My dad came to your care home last year after his wife passed away and although it was a hard decision for me to make I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do. The care is excellent, the staff can't do enough for Dad and there is a nurse on duty if he needs her. The warm and friendly staff always treat my dad with the utmost respect, knocking on the door before entering, always popping in to see if there is anything that he needs. When I visit they are always cheerful and kind to me and I know if I am worried they are also there for me. The gardens are immaculate and Dad has a lovely view from his room window. The meals are really lovely, beautiful dining room. Thank you to all the staff for continuing to care for Dad."

"Thank you to all at Rose Lodge especially your Activities Coordinator, for making my father's 90th birthday such a special occasion with a wonderful afternoon tea party. Family and friends were invited to celebrate with him and you so thoughtfully created a lovely atmosphere with bunting, sandwiches and an amazing cake. The afternoon was made even more delightful with a live musical performance featuring the 'Banjo Man'. My father is always keen to tell us how well he is looked after at Rose Lodge and how grateful he is for the care and attention he receives from all the staff that are in contact with him. On behalf of his family, I would like to echo that sentiment and also add our sincere thanks and gratitude for the continuing care and attention that you provide."

"My husband has resided at Rose Lodge for what now seems a lifetime, 12 plus years and I also feel that it is now my home too. The mere fact that he always wears a most beautiful smile, tells me that he is as happy as he can possibly be. The warm and friendly staff, who now seem part of our family, have always treated him with the utmost dignity and respect. They always afford me the same friendliness and concern, right from the moment I walk through the door at reception, with my little dog Pippin, who always visits with me. I am given help to my husband's room, with carrying bags etc. and most of the time, I am given a much-appreciated cup of coffee, by two very special young ladies. I am sure that such service is not always provided in care homes, but Rose Lodge do go above and beyond the call of duty, I would recommend this care home to anyone who needed such placement and I sincerely believe that their welfare and care in general, would be in very good hands."

"I have been a resident here since my admission on Friday 24th March 2017. My initial impressions of this establishment were considerably more than favourable and throughout the period of my domicile here I can truly record that I have not experienced an occasion which prompted me to regret the decision I took (based on my elder daughter's strong recommendation) to move into here. A return home was out of the question due in part to my condition but mainly because I lost my wife ten years ago and could not envisage how all my needs could/would be coordinated. In essence from my point of view Rose Lodge was, is, and will be the place for me. Thoughts for the future; to set aside a small room for physical training with installed equipment including - treadmill, fixed cycles, cycle pedal equipment open on specific days with professional in attendance."

Excellent facilities, lovely caring staff, and superb grounds and gardens. Residents and visitors alike are always treated with respect and courtesy. Overall, I would rate it as the best care home I have had experience with (with other family members who were in care). The number one choice as far as myself and my family are concerned.

"Mum has been a resident at Rose Lodge for over two years. During this time, her confusion has sadly worsened and her need for nursing care has increased. The staff at rose Lodge have been first class and have always stepped up the level of support as mum's needs have increased. All the staff (carers, nurses, cleaners, administrators, managers) have shown tremendous compassion and kindness. I could not be more grateful."

"I would like to thank the staff for the care they give my mother who moved into Rose Lodge six weeks ago. Part of mum's old sparky character is still there and can be seen and appreciated by the staff who encourage her to sing and enjoy her music. This is the one way mum expresses herself. The staff were wonderful in helping plan a family birthday party for my mother in the home, allowing us to bring in our own entertainer - an Elvis singer. The events organiser, the kitchen staff who prepared a delicious buffet, and the hairdresser who came in on a Sunday morning to make sure mum's hair was perfect, were all fantastic. Thank you! I also appreciated when Rose Lodge sent in a member of staff to care for mum when she was going through a very bad time in hospital suffering from pneumonia and was very severely dehydrated. At my request, and at an additional cost, a member of staff went in a Sunday and spent the day giving mum 1-1 care that she desperately needed to aid her recovery."

"My wife transferred from another home in the Spring of 2015. Her arrival made an immediate difference to this care home. She asserted herself very openly and effectively, leaving little room for doubt as to her expectations for this home. Despite having been faced with a considerable number of problems in her later years she has coped more than adequately with all of them. Her presence is very visible and the only drawback is that she is not present at webchats although she is always within easy contact by email or mobile phone. She deserves every encouragement and she has has welcomed a quite large contingent of staff members. She full merits any gesture of encouragement."
