Who runs it

Rodlands Care Home is the only service its provider, Mrs Norma Peters and Mrs Claire Hunt, runs, so it is an independent, single-site operator rather than part of a chain.

What it may cost

We estimate Rodlands Care Home at £1,300–£1,590 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £68k–£83k.

Get the extras in writing: items such as hairdressing and outings are usually charged on top.

With savings below £23,250, Dorset Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.

How long it has been running

Registered in January 2011, it has 15 years on the CQC register.

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2016–2023), starting at Good and staying Good every time.

It has gone 3 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.

Reports on record: 6, with the most recent dated 28 June 2023.
