I have a carer in the evening to wash me in the parts I cannot manage myself (back etc.) The girls are all lovely. I look forward to seeing them. I am 95 years old, and I appreciate their gentle touch and the little chats we have; they mean so much to me. Thank you so much, Rowan House.

I've found my experience with Rowan House Domiciliary Care to be both reliable and compassionate to my complicated needs. The staff are both warm, friendly and very helpful. The management team inspire confidence and are there to help. My most sincere and grateful thanks for the care that I have been
given for the last 10/11 months.

Carers call on Dad 3 times a day. Reassuring that someone sees Dad and I can see up-to-date information on his daily visits through an app on my phone. The girls are always on time and very courteous and respectful with Dad. If he runs out of milk or any bits the girls will offer to get some for Dad.
From the comments on the app Dad and the girls have a good chat and giggle together. Would recommend Rowan House for domiciliary care.

We have been very pleased with the standard of care given by your team. The ladies are all wonderful, very kind and caring and can’t do enough for Mum. It is reassuring to know that someone will be calling to check on Mum twice a day, when I’m at work, it gives me such peace of mind. Thank you so much.

Mum has Alzheimers and had stopped bathing, we were getting concerned about how we could get Mum back to using a shower. Our family arranged to trial Rowan House carers to visit to start to build up a relationship and then hopefully get her to shower. After their 2nd visit, they were successful. Their
care, professionalism and dignity shown to mum has been exemplary and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rowan House domiciliary care.

We are so pleased with the care being provided to our Mum by Rowan House. Mum has needed support, reassurance and company - and also thoroughly enjoys being taken out for short walks and shopping trips. Her carers are so kind and helpful in meeting her needs and we're relieved they will be on hand when
these increase. For now, it's noticeable that she's so much happier with the extra company she is getting between family visits.
We knew we could rely on Rowan House because they also provided personal care for our Dad during the last months of his life four years ago. His carers provided kind and compassionate care for both of our parents at a really difficult time.

Staff who visit are friendly, caring and courteous. Cannot fault them. My mum was dubious at first, but they have made the transition so easy. Knowing that they are visiting her has provided some relief and confidence that she is ok. The staff provide her with some smiles, company and consideration.
Thank you.

The quality of care provided to my father by the carers from Rowan House Domiciliary Care has been flawless. All the carers have provided kindness and understanding to my Father and go above and beyond in every aspect of their care for him. Whenever there are issues, they raise them in their reports
using the Birdie App which keeps us very well informed.
My father looks forward to their visits every morning and evening.
I would highly recommend the care provided by Rowan House Domiciliary Care.
Thank you so much.

Rowen House provide home care visits for my mother who has dementia. They have consistently provided person-centred, flexible and professional responses and support for my mother. They have encouraged and empowered her with choice, giving her time and opportunity to choose and express her own thoughts
and wishes to lead their care input. They have also responded constructively and creatively to challenging or difficult situations. Recorded care input and reported concerns in a timely manner. Thank you to the whole team; the manager, admin and care team alike. I have no doubt their input has been crucial to maintaining Mum's health and wellbeing and in enabling Mum to continue living at home alone as safely as possible, which is where she has always wanted to be.

The Rowan House Domiciliary Care team are fantastic. The entire team are amazing, considerate, good-humoured and caring. They immediately established a great relationship with my wife and I. The previous levels of stress related to my wife’s care with another agency has vanished. The care provided by
the Rowan House team has contributed to my wife’s ongoing steady improvement. Many thanks to all the team, you have all been great.

Rowan House have been looking after my mum in her own home since my stepdad died. She really looks forward to their visits and feels the girls are her friends. They are kind and jolly, which my mum needs, and are always willing to go that extra mile for Mum and for me. I can't recommend them highly
enough.

Rowan House are more than carers for my dad, they are like his extended family. They have accommodated any care need changes and show kindness and empathy to Dad and his family. Dad would not have any other care agency to support him at home. Thank you.
