Rowan Court Care Home in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Welcome to Rowan Court Care Home in Staffordshire

Rowan Court Care Home, just off the main Silverdale Road in Newcastle-under-Lyme, is only a mile from the town centre, yet backs onto fields and overlooks Lyme Brook. The home has good transport links with a regular local bus route connecting the bus station. It has an excellent local reputation and enjoys close links with the next-door Queen Elizabeth Bowls Club.

Rowan Court is founded on our principles of compassion and high quality, and our team of dedicated staff provide excellent, personalised care, whether it’s residential, dementia or nursing. We understand the value of keeping residents physically and emotionally engaged, and in this, we are supported by a wide community of local groups, who are fully involved in various activities. The extensive gardens at Rowan Court nursing home are in the process of being re-landscaped, to provide raised beds, a potting shed and patio areas, adding to the existing lawns and mature trees

A Community Driven Care Home

Our care home in Staffordshire has established strong ties with local schools and associations, who play a valuable role in ensuring residents remain part of the wider community. Students from Newcastle-under-Lyme’s college are regular visitors and spend many days making friends with residents and joining in with activities, which may be:

• Bowling
• Gardening
• Choir sessions with children
• Crafting and clay modelling
• Wine and cheese tasting
• Dressing up
• Sitting in the garden in big hats

Rowan Court has its own minibus which regularly takes residents on trips to places of interest all year round. Our full-time activity coordinator is always surprising us with new and stimulating places to visit. There’s nothing like a change of scene to raise the spirits.

Restaurant Quality Food at Rowan Court

Our resident chef and assistants ensure that all residents receive the very best of healthy and balanced meals, cooking everything from fresh, and sourcing locally whenever possible. Residents’ tastes are taken into consideration. They consulted in the menu planning stages and are always given a choice at every meal. Breakfast in bed is also an option should you want it as well! And if you fancy something that isn’t on the menu that day, our chefs are happy to discuss alternative options including local delicacies. Our understanding kitchen team recognise that tastes change with age, and the effect medication can have on appetite, they are therefore always looking for ways to keep menus enticing for residents.

As well as keeping the body nourished, mealtimes are about coming together and being sociable. Often these times are the highlight of the day; an aperitif and a glass of wine add to the occasion. The freshly baked cakes and pastries that appear in the morning and afternoon are more than popular too.
