Redbond Lodge is set in the quiet and rural location of Great Dunmow. Although quiet places can be found if that is what you wish, it is a busy home and residents always involved in some event. The dining room changes with the calendar, Halloween, Guy Fawkes, Christmas, the wonderful atmosphere is just enhanced by those extra special touches that everyone makes.

At any Runwood Home carers pride themselves on providing person-centred care to support and enable residents to retain their independence within comfortable homely surroundings and Redbond excels in this.

I needed to stay in Redbond Lodge for rehabilitation following major surgery. The management team offered me a room within two hours of my request and I settled in well.
The staff were caring, efficient and friendly and I was well looked after, which helped me so much on my road to recovery.

Our Mum was at Redbond Lodge for just over a year until she died recently. After not being able to look after herself at her previous accommodation due to health issues, her goal was to get to Redbond Lodge, where she finally got to. Every time I visited my Mum, all the staff were kind, courteous, considerate
and helpful towards my mother. Once Mum settled in, due mainly to all the friendly and helpful staff, she really enjoyed her stay at Redbond Lodge, with the various activities and days out, making some new friends and meeting up with some old ones. The accommodation was always clean and tidy and I cannot praise all the staff highly enough, they all do a brilliant job. Thank you all for looking after our Mum.

Reply from Racquel Cruz, Home Manager at Redbond Lodge

I wanted to write to thank you and your team for all the wonderful care you gave mum during her time at Redbond Lodge. During her stay mum was particularly taken with the staff. She was always complimentary about them. Mum loved the activities that the life style co-ordinator put on for the residents.
She also loved the external trips, particularly Clacton and Meadowcroft Christmas market. I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, care, respect and dignity shown to mum during her time with you.

Reply from Racquel Cruz, Home Manager at Redbond Lodge

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing this heartfelt feedback. It was a true privilege to care for your mother and to ensure she felt comfortable, loved and at home here at Redbond Lodge. Knowing that she had respect and affection for our team means so much to us. Thank you again for allowing us to be part of her life and rest assured that we will share your lovely feedback to the team. Kind regards.

I was apprehensive on my first visit to Redbond Lodge - but was quickly put at ease by the well-kept garden and the friendly reception inside, taking me straightaway to see my friend. There were carious options where I could sit with him, all pleasantly airy, comfortable and spacious and filled with
lovely plants and pictures. All the staff were so helpful and caring, making sure I felt comfortable. I was offered a drink and the option to stay for a meal. I was impressed with the lounges and spacious room and the cleanliness of the whole place. I left looking forward to my next visit.

From the first day of residence, my mum and I have had a good experience with Redbond Lodge and all its staff, including the kitchen. We have been fully updated with COVID jabs, doctor appointments, Mum's health overall and moving rooms in her best interest. Mum is also able to phone me with assistance
if gets upset. I have recommended Redbond Lodge to other people as excellent.

My mum moved into Redbond Lodge in January 2024. The staff have been amazing in helping her settle in at a difficult time for the family. Mum cannot fault the staff. She is very satisfied with Redbond. She has enjoyed the activities, loved the live entertainment and the food is very good. Mum has a
gluten-free diet which has been taken care of. I would recommend Redbond, it is a very friendly and homely environment for residents.

During the time my wife has been a resident of Redbond Lodge I have been greatly impressed with the warm and friendly interaction between residents and every level of management and staff. I know how difficult it has been for me to deal with my wife's wishes and needs but the smooth and friendly way
adopted at Redbond Lodge has been an education to me. It also explains why so many past retired staff members are proud to be associated with the place. I would like to congratulate everyone involved in achieving such a remarkably successful community spirit and long may it continue.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

To all at Redbond Lodge who took such excellent care of my mum. Thank you. I am truly humbled at the impact my mum had on the people around her. She settled very quickly, loved her room, having her hair cut, having a laugh. She did have a wicked sense of humour! She was very happy and that is due to
all of you exceptional lovely people who gave and gave such compassion, dignity and love. The day of Mum’s passing was one of the hardest, saddest days of my life, but the support I was given and are still given by all of you got me through those first raw hours. I wish I could tell Mum of her journey leaving Redbond for the last time. I was overwhelmed by the support, compassion and emotion shown to a lady who was only with you for a very short time. I will treasure that going forward.
I know my mum was a wonderful lady, I am so pleased you all got to know her that way too.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Redbond Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.795 for Redbond Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (516 Excellents x 5) + (117 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 640 Ratings = 4.795

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Redbond Lodge is based on 54 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, which has been reached with 54 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Welcome to Redbond Lodge! My name is Raquel and I am the Home Manager of our lovely home. I moved to the UK in 2008 and started my career in the United Kingdom. I joined Runwood Homes in November 2008 in different roles from Healthcare Assistant, Care Team Leader, and Deputy Manager from 2012 until I decided to take a big responsibility as a Home Manager at Redbond Lodge. I strongly believe that Customer Service is a key priority, as is building up the home’s residents, families, relatives, and friends and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of the care home. Redbond Lodge is such a lovely home with a good reputation in the community. I want to continue to build on that for more people to see it as the place to be. Furthermore, I want to ensure that the team feel valued and that they all have the training and support needed to do their very best. I love my team and deeply appreciate their hardworking commitment to their role. I feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful, caring team who are dedicated to maintaining the safety well-being and the best quality of life of all our residents.
