We pride ourselves on the high standard of appetising meals served, which are all prepared by our qualified chefs using fresh and seasonal produce.

Nutritious meals are very important in maintaining and improving our Residents’ health. Our staff get to know each resident’s food preferences and any dietary needs which are recorded in their personal care plan. Menus are displayed daily and offer options for each meal with a selection of home baking served daily.

Roselea has a nutritious and delicious monthly rotating menu for summer and winter. Our breakfast, two-course lunch, tea meal and home baking, combine to offer a delicious and varied menu. Meals are served in our dining room, and beverages and snacks are served throughout the day in the lounge areas.

We celebrate special holidays and occasions throughout the year including our residents’ birthdays.

Why Roselea

At Roselea, we concentrate only on dementia care and nothing else, so our team is expert at dealing the unique needs of dementia sufferers and how best to help them thrive.

Our rest home was built specifically for people living with dementia to enable them to uphold their independence and live a more comfortable life in a homely and familiar environment. We believe that people living with dementia should have every opportunity to live as independently as possible, function at their greatest potential and enjoy life.

** Tailored and individual care
Because of our specialism, we can focus on offering a high level of care in a boutique environment but without the boutique price tag. Our model of care is centred on truly getting to know each person and their family, enabling us to tailor care to each resident's unique needs. We recognise that no two people have the same needs, and as a result, our care is tailored around each individual person.
At Roselea, every resident is treated as an equal, and is free to make their own choices around timings, clothing, and activities. We have no set visiting times and welcome and support families and friends. The staff team are very generous with their time and affection and like to have fun.

** Feelings matter
At Roselea we believe that as a person’s dementia progresses and their cognition (ability to make decisions) deteriorate, they go from being thinking beings to ‘feeling’ beings. Most of their decisions and communications are based around their present feelings and their sense of reality.
We make a special effort to ‘jump into their bubble’ and connect with their present feelings to interpret their words or communications, regardless of how irrational these may seem to others.
We create a home and offer care which is calming and makes sense of the anxiety they may feel.

** Dedicated staff
We have highly trained staff that specialise in the unique challenges that dementia brings. They are qualified and keep their training of a high standard so you can rest assured that your family members are in good hands.
