My stepfather has settled in very well and appears relaxed, cared for and happy. I have been really impressed with all the staff, from the moment of admission (May) until now. They have been thorough and attentive to all my stepfather needs and us as a family.

My wife received excellent care. The staff at The Julie Richardson Nursing Home are thoughtful and caring. Everyone is always very friendly and supportive. I couldn't wish for her to be staying anywhere else.

My mother went to Julie Richardson house as an emergency placement, and she was immediately welcomed into the home by the staff. The staff made every effort to get to know her, and quickly recognised her care needs and helped her to settle in what was a difficult time. She was treated with kindness,
respect, patience and compassion throughout her stay. The support and kindness shown to us, as a family, was greatly appreciated.

Mum has been here for around 6-months now. It’s reassuring for the family to know Mum is in good hands and being well looked after. The staff are great, always available to talk, answer questions and help with anything that is on your mind. Big thanks to the manager and everyone else who works hard
day and night looking after our loved ones. Mum having to go into a nursing home came as a huge shock to the family, The Julie Richardson nursing home has made it a less stressful and worrying experience.

I find the staff at the care home to be genuinely caring and respectful. There are always plenty of staff, even when some residents are requiring one to one input. My brother has quickly settled into the home and the staff are always attentive and keep us well informed. My brother has been in the home
for 18 months and I never have any complaints.

My brother has been a resident for over eighteen months and his nursing care has been outstanding. The management and nursing team make every effort to provide for the comfort and well-being of all residents. As well as excellent care and high regard for dignity, I have seen many examples of kindness,
compassion and understanding. This sensitivity and empathy are reassuring and comforting. The quality of food is good and there is an emphasis on generating a homely atmosphere. Activities, including "breath of fresh air" outings, are a regular feature at the home and are very well organised. All residents are included, despite individual limitations. Just one of many examples of that inclusion is visible at Christmas in the home. It is a very happy time and the staff go to considerable lengths to get all of the residents around a (very) long set of tables for lunch so that they are able to celebrate Christmas together. It is a pleasure to see my brother so happy and settled.

The care being given to my husband is clearly very good indeed. He is quite challenging on more than one front and staff work very differently to entertain him, distract him and make his life as pleasant as possible.

As I told sister, the carers deserve a medal for the dedication, patience, understanding of the patient's needs. My husband can't praise them enough. When he is down they jolly him along, encourage him to do his exercises and care for him. I have great admiration for all the carers.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for The Julie Richardson Nursing 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.716 for The Julie Richardson Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 148 Ratings = 4.716

  • 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 The Julie Richardson Nursing Home is based on 13 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 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.
