STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.

No shortfalls in effectiveness were flagged.Is this home caring?
The home received a Good rating for Caring at the June 2024 inspection.

What the evidence base says
The Roses welcomes adults both under and over 65, including those living with dementia, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. For residents with dementia, the team shows particular understanding and compassion as needs change over time. 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.
DCC Family Score
The Roses was rated Good across all five domains at its June 2024 inspection, which is a positive foundation, but the published report contains very limited specific detail, so scores reflect confirmed ratings rather than rich observed evidence.
Homes in South West typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary
What families tell us
Families talk about arriving to find a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, where the building feels comfortable and cared-for. They describe how staff take time to understand each person's story, providing emotional support that helps everyone adjust to this big life change.
What inspectors have recorded
What really comes through is how the team approaches their work — with real warmth and understanding. Staff are consistently described as caring people who provide emotional support when it matters most.
How it sits against good practice
Sometimes the right care home is simply the one where kindness comes naturally to everyone who works there.
Worth a visit
The Roses in Holsworthy was rated Good across all five domains at its most recent inspection, carried out on 3 June 2024 and published on 29 October 2024. The home is registered for 28 beds and supports adults with dementia, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. A named registered manager, Ms Melanie Sampson, is in post, and the home is run by Southern Coast Care Ltd. The main uncertainty here is that the published report contains very limited specific detail: no inspector observations, no resident or relative quotes, and no measurable evidence about staffing, activities, food, or the environment are included in what is publicly available. A Good rating is meaningful, but it tells you the minimum standard was met, not what daily life actually looks like for your parent. Before deciding, visit in person, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not a template), speak to relatives of current residents, and ask the manager directly how the home supports someone at a similar stage of dementia to your mum or dad.
