Mom was placed into this care home by the local council and we are so glad she was, the staff were so caring looking after my mom in her last few months. Everytime a carer walked into moms room there would always be a big smile on moms face. We were also impressed with the activities and the effort
that went into decorating the home for xmas and easter etc. The other good thing was all food was cooked on site and always smelt very good, no pre packed food here. Altogether a very nice place!

Reply from Karen Beale, Manager at Richmond Hall

Mom was moved from hospital to Richmond House for end of life care, to be honest I can't recommend enough. The whole team from the individual carers through to the domestic staff, catering, management, doctors and nurses were absolutely brilliant, I can't thank them enough.

My husband was only in for 2 nights but the care and attention the carers showed my husband and myself was lovely. They rang me to go asap to see my husband before he passed away. They were so kind giving us all the time with him, never rushed us and brought tea and coffee for us. Thank you to all the
staff.

Our dear friend moved into Richmond Hall nursing home in August 2024, from the local hospital she had been battling complexed cancers for over four years. Going into Richmond Hall was like a dream come true for her and all of us. All the staff were so kind to everyone one of us nothing was too much
trouble. She had a lovely sunny room and nothing was ever too much trouble from any of the staff.
Food was also excellent home cooked.
The end-of-life care was so loving and kind couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you all so much.

My mom was taken into Richmond Hall care home for palliative care following a hospital stay.
I don't think it's possible to explain in words what a wonderful experience it was from start to finish.
When she came out of hospital she was very ill but with the care and compassion shown by all of the
team she bounced back and I honestly believe they extended her life by several weeks.
She enjoyed her meals there, especially the breakfast, and felt completely at home and comfortable.
As a safeguarding consultant, I talk often about person-centred care and The Care Act 6 principles and I can honestly say that Richmond Hall takes it to the next level.
On her last day, the family was welcomed to sit with her day and night, staff were very caring and supportive, and they offered us food and drinks so we didn't need to leave her side.
I will really miss the staff at Richmond Hall even though she was only there for 6 weeks, they became an extended family to us all.

Reply from Karen Beale, Manager at Richmond Hall

What a fantastic heartfelt review. It's reviews like this that make our days worthwhile. It is always our absolute pleasure to care for people who come to live with us at Richmond Hall. Don't miss us too much, please come and visit if you feel able to at any time. I will pass this on to the staff so they are aware. Thank you once again.

My sister has needed nursing care for the 7 years she spent in Richmond Hall. I am so thankful I found it for her all those years ago. She was treated with love and care throughout. I was kept informed of her health issues when necessary and the staff were kind and helpful to us and others whenever
we visited. We will miss them all. Many have been working there for years, a tribute to their working environment and management. The staff appeared well supported by their local GP. The accommodation was pleasant, spacious and always clean.

Reply from Karen Beale, Manager at Richmond Hall

Thank you so much for those wonderful kind words. It's reviews like this, and of course our lovely residents that make the job worth doing. We will miss you too just like we will miss your sister. Please visit us anytime you feel able.

My father was so very happy during his 5 years at Richmond Hall, and I was also happy and confident in all the care he received. He had excellent relationships with all the staff.
They treated him with dignity and respect.
I knew I could leave him after visits, in their care, knowing that they had
his best interest and welfare at heart. They were very friendly and caring towards me and all of the family and kept us up to date with everything we needed to know. I will miss them all.

Reply from Karen Beale, Manager at Richmond Hall

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.568)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.568) out of 10 for Richmond Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 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 4.568 for Richmond Hall is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 257 Ratings = 4.568

  • 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 Richmond Hall 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.
