About Rowan Park Care Home

Rowan Park Care Home is a nursing home in Radstock in Somerset. We provide nursing care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we support people with physical disabilities and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Having registered nurses on duty at all hours means medication, wound care, continence and long term conditions are looked after here rather than through repeated journeys to hospital. We work closely with local GPs, community nursing teams and therapists, and where somebody is approaching the end of their life we concentrate on comfort, dignity and keeping families properly informed. Beyond the clinical care, we try to keep the ordinary texture of a home. Rooms are personal, visitors are welcome without appointment, and the day is built around the people living here rather than the rota. When somebody moves in we ask about their life and not only their health, because that is what makes the care individual. For people living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried and we keep staff teams as consistent as we can. Where sight or hearing has changed we pay attention to the practical adjustments that keep somebody connected rather than cut off. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. We would rather say so openly. The most useful thing you can do is visit, meet the nursing team and form your own view.
