We at Rowan House are proud to offer compassionate residential care in the coastal town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, welcoming older people, younger adults, and individuals living with a learning disability, autism, or mental health needs into a warm and supportive home. Nestled within the familiar surroundings of the YO postcode area, our home benefits from the gentle character of Scarborough, a town known for its coastal charm and close knit community feel. Residents enjoy a setting that feels genuinely homely, where comfort and calm are at the heart of everyday life, and where families visiting from across Yorkshire and Humberside can feel truly welcomed. Our specialisms allow us to support a broad range of needs under one caring roof. For older residents, we provide attentive residential care that prioritises dignity, independence, and companionship. For younger adults and those living with a learning disability or autism, we focus on building routines that reflect individual preferences, encouraging confidence and personal growth at a pace that suits each person. Our experience in supporting mental health means our team approaches every resident with patience, understanding, and a genuine commitment to emotional wellbeing. We also offer respite care, which can be a lifeline for families who need short term support, whether that is following a hospital stay, during a period of recovery, or simply to allow regular carers a well earned rest. Families can feel reassured knowing their loved one is in capable hands, even for a brief stay. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in July 2022, rated Rowan House as Good overall, with Good ratings across the Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains. This reflects the quality of the day to day support residents receive and the kindness that underpins our approach. The Well led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we take this feedback seriously, using it as an opportunity to strengthen our leadership and continue improving the experience we offer. Transparency matters to us, and we believe families deserve a clear picture as they make one of the most important decisions of their lives. Choosing a care home is never a straightforward journey, and we understand the weight of that decision.
