A Message from Our Home Manager
“Welcome to Rookwood. We pride ourselves on offering something truly unique within our local community: we are the only care setting in the area dedicated exclusively to residential care.
Rookwood is a beautiful, characterful house. With our original flooring, striking staircase, and a peaceful garden maintained proudly by both staff and residents, Rookwood looks and feels like a proper home. Since taking over as Registered Manager in 2023, my goal has been to preserve and nurture the unique magic of Rookwood.
We are a close-knit, 25-bed home, which allows us to maintain an incredibly warm, safe, and familiar atmosphere. Because of our size, our residents’ families get to know one another, frequently joining us for activities, outings, and parties.
While we are a purely residential home, should a resident’s needs change, our relationship with our sister nursing homes – combined with our shared electronic care and medication systems – means that a transition into nursing care is completely seamless and stress-free. We also benefit from a Group Clinical Lead, a visiting Care Home Matron, and a Nurse Lead for complex clinical decisions. Over my years here, I have fostered excellent relationships with our local multidisciplinary teams and community nurses, and we enjoy a weekly visit from our local GP to ensure prompt, effective care.
Location is everything, and Rookwood offers the best of both worlds. We are tucked away from the main road in a quiet, tranquil setting, yet we are located close to the main town with easy access to public transport. This allows several of our residents to enjoy visiting the local town independently, while making it incredibly convenient for loved ones to visit. We also ensure our residents remain an active, vital part of the wider community through regular charity fundraising, including supporting our local food bank.
The highest compliment we receive is that a vast number of our residents come to us via word-of-mouth recommendations, not just from past relatives, but from local community healthcare teams who trust us implicitly.
We invite you to come and experience Rookwood for yourself. Our doors are always open.”
