Rowanweald Residential and Nursing Home in Harrow

Tucked behind Harrow's high street, our residential and nursing home is set away from the hustle and bustle of London and surrounds a pretty central courtyard garden.

Rowanweald boasts another outdoor space which holds a special place in all our hearts. 'Helen's Rooftop Garden' is a beautiful spot, with potted sensory plants and comfortable seating. The garden is named after a resident who has sadly passed away and is situated on the secure balcony of the home. The area is a real focal point, especially in the warmer months. It's our very own sun terrace and is a lovely place for residents receiving residential care to socialise.

We have an activities timetable filled with stimulating group and person-centred activities. One day you can find us hosting a dementia café for people from the local Harrow community. The next we could be transporting our residents into the heart of Australia to discover new flavours and cultures in the heart of the home.

More recently you are likely to find us making the most of our care home technology, having invested in a new ‘experience table’. With interactive light games designed especially for people living in the mid-to-late-stages of dementia, it brings people together in a calming but stimulating environment. There are a number of games, which feature projected images of flowers, balls and even goldfish! Residents reach out to touch the images, which respond to their physical movements.

Four-legged friends, including dogs, ponies and rabbits, often visit for animal therapy sessions. As you can imagine these activities are very popular and help to bring back happy memories for residents who once had their own pets. They are also extremely beneficial for our residents receiving nursing care, as they can provide one-to-one interaction, often in the comfort of their own bedroom.

We frequently welcome new faces from across Harrow into the home as we host a string of family-friendly events. From swinging sixties Silver Sunday tea parties to our Great British Sports Day, we are always thinking outside the box to make our celebrations as engaging as possible.

Rowanweald is our residents’ home, so engaging with their loved ones is at the heart of everything we do. We host regular relatives’ and residents’ meetings, empowering our residents and their loved ones to have direct involvement in what happens in their home.

Pricing information

It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for their care in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions. Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to truly understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2021 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1,099 and may increase to £1,388, whereas nursing care starts from £1,398 and may increase to £1,538. These prices are dependent on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
