In the two years my wife was in the nursing home her care was the best that we knew, better care than when she was in hospital. She came from hospital and we noticed the difference in her care and comfort she had. The staff could not do enough for her or any of the people in their care. Upon her passing,
I know that the care given was far better than she would have received anywhere else.

I wasn't very happy that my husband was being put in a care home, I really was dead against it, but having been in Richmond House I was so glad he did go in there. He was made to feel welcome, the staff were very attentive, the food was good and he said he would go back in if he had to. Only drawback
is, he wasn't able to do anything much because of him possibly falling and he did a lot of sitting, which he did find frustrating.

My mum was taken into care after being seriously ill in hospital not eating or drinking and 7 stone.
Since being a resident at Richmond House Mum has put on almost 2 stone and has 3 healthy meals a day and snacks in-between.
She has really progressed rapidly and the staff are all so compassionate
and committed to their roles.
She has friends, activities, and lots of stimulation, just amazed at how well Mum's care has been.
Thank you for giving me my mum back.

My dad was well cared for by the staff. I was always made welcome. The staff always made a fuss of my young children too. Dad enjoyed his short time there doing the rehab.

My mum was a full-time nursing resident since her discharge from hospital earlier this year, I have to say I have been in many nursing homes over the years working for the NHS myself - the care dignity and respect given by all the staff was fantastic - very homely, very caring, very clean and excellent
nutritional food, unfortunately my mum was suffering from a long term illness and sadly passed away most recently, her needs and ours were met to the very end and we wouldn't have chosen any other home or care system. Thank you to all the staff for everything you did for my mum, you have been outstanding at such a very sad time for my family.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Richmond House Care Home

I only stayed a couple of weeks. The room was clean but the bed wasn't comfortable. The food was poor the first week but improved in the second week. Physio worked hard with me and were always pleasant which could not be said for some of the other carers. I didn't use facilities or pay so cannot rate
them.

They brought me into Richmond House from hospital for rehabilitation after tip surgery. I'm from another country, I don't speak English very well.
But despite these difficulties, all the employees were very attentive to me.
Many thanks to this great home for their skills with which you supported me.
Thank you so so much.

If you're considering a care home for yourself or a loved one then you need not search anymore. The staff are outstanding at Richmond House, they're compassionate, caring and supportive. They will do everything they can to make your stay a pleasant experience. They are an inclusive care home, everyone
is treated with dignity and respect.
The rehabilitation program is second to none, with regular visits from the physio team and other medical professionals to ensure your stay is comfortable.
We have had an experience with a very poor care home in the past so please trust me when I say Richmond House are the best! If I were to need a care home for myself in the future I'd be staying with them, I'd be going nowhere else.

My dad was looked after at the end of his life, and the whole team at Richmond House were amazing, kind, compassionate, highly professional and always willing to spare time out of their busy schedules to support and assist my family and me, in addition to my dad. The facilities are good - single rooms
of a decent size, each with a private ensuite, nice eating and kitchenette areas on each floor, and excellent food in terms of both quality and variety. But is it essentially the team of people at all levels that makes this place so special.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.630)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.630) out of 10 for Richmond House Care Home 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 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 4.630 for Richmond House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.63

  • 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 House 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, 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.
