Rockfield Care Home in Newry has been chosen by residents and their families as one of the Top 20 care homes in Northern Ireland on online care home review guide carehome.co.uk

There are 431 homes in Northern Ireland, with the top 20 receiving an award.

The award is based on reviews of the care home written by their residents, as well as their friends and relatives.

Loida Nepomuceno, care home manager, said: “At Rockfield Care Home and indeed in the wider Burnview Healthcare Group, we have an ethos whereby our residents are Living Amongst Friends. We have a dedicated team many of whom are long-term that I am proud to lead. Together we endeavour to provide the highest standards of holistic care to our residents. We are delighted once again that our high standards have been recognised in receiving this Top 20 Care Home Award in Northern Ireland.”

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of carehome.co.uk, said: “It is only the residents and their families and friends who can give a real insight into what a care home is like, which is why we use their reviews to find the best care homes in the UK. Choosing a care home can be a time consuming and exhausting process so we hope our awards help make the search easier.
