My dad has been a resident at Richmond Hall Care Home since March 2020, firstly on residential care and then on full-time nursing care. Throughout his stay, staff across all roles have been wonderful. They have become part of the family and the expertise among the nursing and senior care staff is excellent.
They were there when Dad passed away and nothing was too much trouble; we were all treated with respect and consideration and I will never forget the personal support I received at that difficult time.

Reply from Karen Beale, Manager at Richmond Hall

Thank you for your very kind words. It's been our absolute pleasure looking after your dad and he will be dearly missed, as will you. It would be lovely to see you again when you feel you are able. Pop in for a cuppa!

Mum was admitted to Richmond Hall following a fall which resulted in a fractured pelvis. She spent just over four weeks there before moving to a home nearer to where she used to live.
The staff were extremely caring and helpful. They were able to sort out mums medical issues very efficiently and professionally.
Mum was happy with her care despite difficult restrictions in place due to Covid which meant she was only allowed one designated visitor and activities were restricted and she was sad to leave

My mum stayed at Richmond Hall for 5-weeks, before transferring to a care home nearer to where I live. The nursing care she received was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and caring. I couldn't fault the home. I wish she was back there!
Richmond is a very caring and well-run home - I couldn't

My mum moved into Richmond Hall as a temporary measure in January 2020 due to health issues. She was soon so happy there that she decided to stay permanently. She is always happy and relaxed when I see her and for the first time in years, I am completely confident that she is safe and cared for. She
says that all the staff treat her as a person. During the pandemic, things have not been easy but staff have done everything they can to make residents' lives as good as possible. We enjoyed regular video calls when we were not able to visit and the management has kept us regularly updated. I never thought I would let my mum live in a care home but it has given her a new lease of life, where she no longer has to struggle. I am constantly grateful for the excellent care she receives.

Reply from Karen Beale, Manager at Richmond Hall

It has indeed been a very difficult time. We are glad your mom is happy at Richmond hall and that she decided to stay with us. Let us hope this next year brings us more happiness. Thank you for your kind words.

My mother has been a resident at Richmond Hall for two years. I cannot speak highly enough about this home. My mother is extremely well cared for and content. All of the staff are friendly, caring and respectful. I know from experience that they go above and beyond what is expected of them. Communication
from the home is excellent. Going into Richmond Hall is going into a happy environment and to quote my mother - ‘I couldn’t be anywhere better.'

This Care Home is a wonderful find for my mom. The care is excellent and the staff treats all residents with family love and care, kindness, and respect which is shown by all of the staff. The home feels happy, clean and well run. Mom came into the home non-responsive, a curled-up human who we thought
was at the end of her life. Twelve months on she is awake, aware and looking very healthy which I know is down to the care and attitude of this wonderful, brilliant care home and all the lovely staff who work there.

The manager and the team were brilliant in looking after my mom for the last 3 months of her life. They couldn't have done more for her. My dad and I were extremely happy with the level of care provided and how this was made personal. Nothing was too much trouble, especially in these COVID related times
and I would be happy to recommend Richmond Hall as a safe, caring environment to anyone thinking of housing their parents/wives/husbands at this home.

An amazing, caring, loving home full of wonderful staff who treat the residents with dignity and love. They also care deeply about the families and do all they can to reassure and inform you. My mother was cared for so lovingly the staff became my extended family. I can honestly say if your mum or dad
or any family member needs care either nursing or dementia this is the place to go to. It gives you peace of mind and the best care for a loved one.

My father-in-law has been a very happy resident of Richmond Hall. In the past week, he has needed end of life care and he has been treated with love, respect, dignity and the utmost care.
As his relatives, we have been given compassion, support and care.
The staff are a marvellous team and I cannot

I have only praise, thanks and respect for them all.

I've been living here at Richmond Hall for approximately two and a half years in a lovely room overlooking the gardens and fish pond.
I never thought that in my nineties I would have the opportunity to make new friends in a beautiful stately home, surrounded by helpful staff who cater to my needs.
We
have a fantastic entertainment manager who organises pampering days, movie afternoons, crossword puzzles, singers and musicians.
My favourite is playing bingo and going to our hairdresser who comes once a week.
The kitchen staff are also very friendly and come to us daily with the next day's menu choice.

Reply from Karen Beale, Home Manager at Richmond Hall

Violet, It is an absolute pleasure to have you living at Richmond Hall. Your cheerful smile brightens our day. We all enjoy the activities too, although my favourite is when the staff dress up for 'themed days'. Thank you for your kind review.

The staff at Richmond Hall are wonderful with my father, they talk, joke and give cuddles to him. He enjoyed the firework display and the hot dogs on Bonfire night. He said it reminded him of when he used to take us as kids. The staff even asked if they could take him and a couple other residents to
the local pub for a meal and a drink. My father was so excited about going, as it has been a long time since he has been to a pub. They had a great time. My dad is in such a great place, mentally and physically, compared to where he was before. My father loves it here in his words "I wish I came here earlier".

Reply from Karen Beale, Home 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.
