— A note from usCare that begins
Care that begins
with you.
Rosemary Cottage is home for people whose lives have been disrupted by alcohol or substance abuse and mental health challenges, and who need somewhere settled to return home to themselves.
Rosemary Cottage is a small, independent and owner-managed care home for up to seven residents. It is for adults recovering from alcohol or substance related issues and mental health conditions. Our objective is to support residents to be the best version of themselves and to lead happy and fulfilled lives in a beautiful setting. The home is run as a “dry” house, meaning that it is an alcohol and substance free zone, providing the best possible chance of sustained recovery. Where a care home is not your preferred setting for recovery, our service extends to specialist home care delivered by the same experienced team.

Adults over 40 years of age with a history of alcohol or substance abuse and underlying mental health challenges. The home does not provide care to people who continue to use drugs or alcohol.
The assessment process is completed in collaboration with you to ensure that your views, preferences and aspirations are at the heart of things. A trained member of the team will meet with you and your referring professional to establish your care needs, goals and the way you wish to be supported. This will then be reviewed alongside any other documents provided by the professional completing the referral to create an individualised package of care.
Rosemary Cottage is a medium to long-term home. The length of placement is guided by the needs of the individual. Where there are long-term and enduring challenges, residents can remain in the home as long as their care need can be met. Where psychological wellbeing has been improved and alcohol or substance recovery is stable, residents can be supported to regain their independence. This can be managed with step-down care through our home care service.
Rosemary Cottage Care Limited can offer a tailored package of care provided by professional, experienced and caring team members in your own home. Care and support are delivered with you in the centre to ensure that your needs are fully met.
Rosemary Cottage Care Limited encourages family relationships. Family are welcome to visit throughout the day. There is always a friendly welcome from the team and a hot cup of tea waiting. Where relationships have been strained through alcohol, substance use, and mental health, the team are available to support the rebuilding of these relationships.
Both Rosemary Cottage and our home care service RC Home Care are fully licensed and regulated by the Jersey Care Commission.
