Rosewood

What the ratings tell you

All five areas CQC looks at are rated Good for Rosewood: no single area stands out above or below the rest.

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 232 of the 316 other care homes in West Sussex that CQC has rated.

What it may cost

We estimate Rosewood at £1,400–£1,710 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

People with savings under £23,250 may get help from West Sussex Council after a needs and financial assessment.

The local picture

There are 21 other care homes within 3 miles, 16 of them rated Good or Outstanding; the nearest is Oak House & Maple Lodge, under 0.5 miles away.

It is registered for needs that fewer services nearby cover: learning disabilities (4 of the nearest 25).

16 of the 23 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.

It sits in Burgess Hill Leylands ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 30% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Surrey and Sussex ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (3 min), a pharmacy (5 min), a shop (3 min), a park (2 min), a café (4 min) and a bus stop (2 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

Ownership and company checks

Rosewood is run by Voyage 1 Limited (company 02215899), incorporated in 1988, 34 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 3 active directors and there is no insolvency history.

Voyage 1 Limited runs 280 CQC-registered services across 87 council areas; 244 of the 268 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (91%), against 84% for the same mix of services across England.

How long it has been running

Rosewood has been registered with CQC since September 2022, about 4 years.

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2015–2019), starting at Good and staying Good every time.

It has gone 6 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.

The current rating was given to a previous provider; the present one has not yet been inspected here.
