How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?

We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning.

How many beds does Rose House have?

Rose House has 18 registered beds. The home provides residential care without nursing. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-228968856).

Is Rose House at risk of closure?

No public source can guarantee whether Rose House will close, but families can still check for warning signs in the available records. Public company records currently suggest low public financial risk for the provider. No current enforcement actions are recorded. Closure risk should be judged alongside inspection history, fee pressure, and what the manager can explain on your visit.

Is Rose House's CQC rating improving or declining?

Recent inspection history for Rose House looks stable rather than clearly improving or declining. The most recent inspection we reference was on 10 October 2017.

How do Rose House's fees compare to the local average?

Based on current local pricing benchmarks, Rose House's published weekly fees from £1,200 look below area average. Final weekly costs can still vary depending on the level of care required.

How do I know if I'm paying too much for Rose House?

Start by comparing Rose House's published weekly fees with the local care home benchmark. On this page, those fees look below area average. Lower pricing can be a good sign for affordability, but families should still check what is and is not included in the weekly rate. The safest way to judge value is to compare price against care fit, inspection strength, and the unanswered questions you still have after reviewing the page.

What is Rose House's food hygiene rating?

Rose House currently has a Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 5 out of 5. The latest published hygiene date is 13 November 2025. Source: local authority food hygiene records.

What questions should I ask when visiting Rose House?

When visiting Rose House, start by asking the team to ask to see the latest inspection report and what has changed since it, ask how staffing levels work on day and night shifts, and ask how families are updated when needs change. These questions help you test whether the public picture on this page still matches day-to-day reality inside the home.

What does our visit checklist include for Rose House?

Our visit checklist for Rose House starts with the basics families often miss: the latest inspection report, staffing levels across day and night shifts, how the team updates relatives when needs change, and how care plans are reviewed in practice. On RightCareHome, the page-level checklist is then extended with personalised follow-up questions based on the home’s inspection, review, financial and practical signals.
