What inspectors found

Inspected 2022-07-06

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The safe domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection, an improvement from the previous Requires Improvement rating. This covers staffing levels, medicines management, infection control, and safeguarding. The published summary does not reproduce specific inspector observations or evidence about night staffing numbers or agency use. The improvement in rating suggests the home addressed whatever safety concerns were identified at its previous inspection. No concerns about safety were flagged in the July 2023 monitoring review.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The effective domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. This domain covers care planning, staff training, healthcare access, and food. Dementia is listed as a specialism, which means inspectors would expect to see evidence of dementia-specific training and care planning. The published summary does not reproduce any detail about care plan content, GP access arrangements, or the frequency with which plans are reviewed. Food quality and choice are not described in the available text.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    The caring domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. This domain assesses whether staff treat people with kindness, dignity, and respect, and whether residents have a say in their own care. The published summary does not include direct quotes from residents or relatives recorded during the inspection, and no specific inspector observations about staff interactions are reproduced. The Good rating indicates inspectors did not find significant concerns in this area.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The responsive domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. This domain covers activities, individual engagement, and how the home responds to complaints and changing needs. The published summary does not describe specific activities on offer, how they are tailored to individuals, or how people with advanced dementia or limited mobility are supported to engage. End-of-life planning is not mentioned in the available text.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    The well-led domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection, an improvement from Requires Improvement. A named registered manager, Miss Melissa Pearson, and a nominated individual, Mr Andrew Cope, are both recorded in the registration details. The published summary does not describe the manager's tenure, the leadership culture, or how staff are supported to raise concerns. The improvement in rating across all five domains between inspections suggests the leadership team drove meaningful change.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The team at Rosehaven supports people with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. They also care for those with sensory impairments, eating disorders, and substance misuse challenges. The home accepts residents living with dementia as part of their wider specialist care approach. Their experience spans both younger adults and those over 65 who need dementia support. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

73/ 100

DCC Family Score

Rosehaven improved from Requires Improvement to Good across all five inspection domains, which is a meaningful step forward. However, the published inspection text contains limited specific detail, so several scores reflect a positive but unverified picture rather than strong, observed evidence.

Homes in North West typically score 68–82.
DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Rosehaven Residential Care Home, on Blackpool's FY3 postcode, was rated Good at its most recent inspection in June 2022, covering all five domains: safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led. This is a meaningful improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement, and suggests the home identified what was wrong and took action to put it right. A named registered manager and a nominated individual were both recorded, indicating stable leadership at the time of inspection. The home carries a wide range of specialisms, including dementia, mental health conditions, learning disabilities, and caring for people whose rights are restricted under the Mental Health Act, which makes it an unusually varied environment for a 24-bed home. The main uncertainty here is the level of published detail. The available inspection summary confirms ratings but does not reproduce specific inspector observations, resident or family quotes, or evidence about staffing ratios, activities, food, or the physical environment. This means the Good ratings are credible but not yet independently verifiable from what is publicly available. On your visit, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not a template), check how many permanent versus agency staff are named on it, and ask the manager directly what changed between the previous inspection and this one. That answer will tell you a great deal about how self-aware the leadership team really is.
