The team at Regent are what makes this home stand out. They are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents with fabulous experiences and activities.

From gardening in the home’s allotment, visits from local school children, to trips out in the minibus to all sorts of attractions, from an animal petting farm and the Black Country Living Museum to the beach at Weston-Super-Mare, there is so much to do.

The residents enjoy regular visits from pet therapy dog Dusty, as well as lots of other animals, including guinea pigs. There is so much entertainment, from magicians to singers. And chair yoga is one of many gentle exercises the residents enjoy.

As well as providing residential and dementia care, Regent also offers pre-bookable respite care breaks, which are ideal for carers who would like a short break themselves, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

The residents recently had front row seat when two of the staff recreated their wedding in the home, because they couldn’t invite everyone to their big day. They wore their wedding attire, read their vows and cut the cake all over again, so their residents could be there with them!

The team are passionate about enriching their residents’ lives and supporting them to have a very active role to play in how their home is run. For example, there is a resident ambassador, who helps new residents to settle into the home, as well as supporting with staff interviews.

The home itself has a warm family feel, with lots of lovely areas to enjoy. There are lots of lounge and dining areas, and a hairdresser visits twice a week for appointments in the salon.

The gardens are stunning, with a water feature and an allotment plot, where the residents love growing produce to use in the kitchens, where delicious home-cooked food is prepared by the chef. Many of the bedrooms, which have ensuite bathrooms, have patio doors leading to the gardens.

Mum has been in Regent Residential Care Home for some years now, she will be 100 in 10 days, and although bedbound she does have some quality of life given by all of the staff at Regent, my brother and I are eternally grateful the team here are amazing, I shopped around before moving Mum and this was
our fab option for Mum she fitted in straight away.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Regent Residential Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt words. It's wonderful to hear that your mum has found such comfort at Regent. Reaching 100 is such a remarkable milestone, and the team are privileged to be part of her journey. Your appreciation will mean so much to our team, thank you for sharing.

My parents relocated to Regents, St Johns, Worcester from Torquay very early January, so this was a massive event for them both being in their mid-80s and with health issues. There was a bit of confusion with transport but all this was quickly solved with the Regents Manager making the decision to do
the trip himself. All went smoothly and parents safely arrived at Regents. My parents and myself have been made to feel most welcome at Regents and feel confident my parents will be happy in their new home. It wouldn't be fair to favourably mention staff, but they know who they are. All staff have been caring and pleasant. Gold star to Regents House!

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Regent Residential Care Home

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so glad your parents are settling in well at Regent and that our team could support you during the relocation. It's wonderful to hear that everyone has been so welcoming and caring. We truly appreciate your trust and confidence in us, thank you.

Having recently had Dad into a care home it has given me confidence that he is well looked after and safe which for a long time has been a big worry. Regents have done a great job of settling him in. Thank you.

Mum has been at Regent Residential Care Home for five months. We are amazed at how she has settled. Mum was very anxious and often agitated due to her dementia, however she is happy and relaxed at Regent. The staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring, Mum loves them. There is always something going
on and Mum regularly enjoys trips out. Keep up the great work!

In general my stay at Regent House has been satisfactory marred in my opinion by a shortage of staff. Problem with recruitment or finances I don't know. Too much is asked from the staff there are and therefore because I'm unable to move around I need two helpers and often have to wait as long as an
hour or even more to go to the toilet. Medical help is not easily available - district nurse etc, the laundry and cleaner are very good, friendly. I do need them to keep my room in order as I like it. Always a choice of food and a frequent cup of tea is good. The manager is very approachable, listens, and acts when I've had to say the part.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Regent Residential Care Home

Thank you for sharing your feedback about Regent, we appreciate your honest comments and are glad to hear you value the warmth of the staff, particularly the home manager, and the quality of the home-cooked food. We would like to reassure you that while we do have the correct number of staff on shift to ensure the well-being and safety of our residents, we deeply regret any delays you've experienced in us meeting your needs. We have a close working relationship with our external community district nurses and while they endeavour to get to us in a timely manner, there can be occasional delays during very busy periods. Your input is invaluable in helping us enhance the quality of care, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

I researched & visited a lot of care homes before opting for Regent. It stood out - mainly for the calibre of the staff. On my initial visit (unannounced), I met the management team and saw other staff in action. All gave me their time selflessly, were effortlessly friendly & answered all of my questions
brilliantly. My Dad has been there for 2 weeks and I have to say I am utterly delighted with how it's panning out. Regent exhibits a calm, can-do attitude that is hugely comforting. They are attentive & seem to genuinely want to get to know my Dad in order to help him in the best ways possible. I personally approach gushing reviews with a bit of scepticism, but Regent has truly delivered beyond my hopes and expectations. It's easy to criticise poor service but so much harder to praise without sounding insincere. But the care of a loved one is about as personal as a service can get: I can only applaud & be grateful for what Regent are achieving on a daily basis. It's truly impressive.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and kind words about our team at Regent, they will be so proud to read your feedback. It's wonderful to hear that you felt welcomed and supported from your very first visit and that the staff's dedication to getting to know your dad has provided you with such peace of mind. We're thrilled Regent has exceeded your expectations and will be sure to pass this on to the team.

Very happy with every aspect of my dad's care. We asked if the lampshades I bought could be put up but the electrician needs to come to finish the last one! I do my dad's washing now though as no one checks for paper tissues in the pockets so all his clothes are covered in bits. Simply the pockets should
be emptied, simples!

Thank you so much for your review for Regent, the team will be delighted to hear how happy you are with every aspect of your father's care.

So very pleased with the care and support my mum and my aunty have received since having to move to Regent Care Home. The staff become part of our family, showing love and understanding of residents' needs. Regent is an extension of home! My only concern, which is I believe being addressed, is sometimes
food is inedible and cold! Having said that, it is not every day.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Regent Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review and high praise for our team at Regent, we are delighted you feel so at home there too. We are so sorry our mealtime experience has fallen short. As you have mentioned, this is something we've been addressing following a period of staff changes in the kitchen. This has now been resolved and we are confident you will notice a big difference. Please do speak to the home manager directly if you have any further concerns, her door is always open.

My mum was very well looked after. She could have time in her room or mix in the lounge rooms. She enjoyed trips out and playing soft skittles. The staff were very kind.
The only criticism would be the food was cold but I have put this further down on the review.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Regent Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review, the team at Regent will be proud to hear how happy you were with your mother’s care and in particular the range of activities she enjoyed. We are sorry to hear your feedback about the food, please rest assured we have passed this on to the chef and home manager.

Staff are very caring and lovely to be around. I cannot fault the care they bestowed on my mother. They also support the families of their residents. They are so kind and show genuine respect and concern. While my mum was in their care, the family had peace of mind and she was always happy and well

My mother is 102 years old next Sunday, she has been at Regent Residential for the last 10 years and has been very happy there. All staff are kind and caring and go the extra mile to make residents feel special. Food and cleanliness are excellent. Although my mother does not join in many activities,
there are so many available, including trips to garden centres, seaside and cafes.
In all, a first-rate care home.

This place is absolutely brilliant. It's never nice when our parents have to go into residential care but my Mum's dementia had got too bad for her to be safe in her flat even though it was sheltered accommodation. Mum was rather overwhelmed and confused to begin with but every single member of staff
made her feel welcome and she soon settled. The rooms are a good size and Mum's looks out over onto the beautiful garden. The food is obviously very good as mum eats everything that is put in front of her, and has put on a decent amount of weight after it plummeted from her not eating properly at home despite me getting her shopping every week. There are loads of activities for the residents to do and Mum appears to be embracing these very enthusiastically. The team leaders keep me informed of everything that goes on with Mum, which has been fantastic recently while I have been struck down by stupid Covid again so have not been able to visit. I'm so happy that Mum is in Regent.

After a somewhat difficult start, Mum seems to have settled at Regent Residential Care Home. My experience of the staff has been nothing but positive and Mum enjoys the various activities that are provided. I'm happy to know she's in a place where she's safe and well looked after. My only small negative
observation is the smell of the first-floor unit and the call alarms that seem to be constantly activated.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.686)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.686) out of 10 for Regent Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.686 for Regent Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.686

  • 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 Regent Residential Care Home is based on 20 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
