Always a lovely and friendly welcome from the staff, who work extremely hard. The physio is marvellous enabling my husband to walk a short distance after three sessions. The teamwork is definitely shown and I would wholeheartedly recommend Richmond House Care Home without hesitation.

My husband was admitted for a period of rehab following discharge from hospital. Unfortunately whilst in hospital, he contracted covid, and as a result of which because of a number of underlying health issues, he didn't seem to pick up and was reluctant to cooperate with the physios. In addition following
covid he found it difficult to swallow, and as a result, couldn't eat or drink normally. The staff went out of their way to try to get him to eat and drink, but as time went on he gradually went downhill. As a consequence, he was admitted to hospital on the 27th of July where he died the following morning. I cannot praise the staff at the home enough for the way they looked after him under what on some days were difficult circumstances.

My husband was a resident for two weeks after a stay of six weeks in hospital. He was very well looked after. The staff were patient and caring and nothing was too much trouble. He needed a lot of personal care and he was treated with dignity. He had physio to help with mobility.

The family were really happy with the staff and facilities at Richmond during my mother's stay. 99% of the staff that we came in contact with were always smiling, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The home itself was always clean and accessible when we visited. Given the choice, we would
have had no hesitation in placing mum in Richmond as she has not been allowed back home. When we left mum whatever the time of day we always felt she was safe and in the best hands. May not sound much but those two things are worth their weight in gold.

I stayed there to recover. The staff could not do enough for you, they go out of their way to help you. The management does everything they can to make you feel welcome and look after you. I would recommend this care home because I was treated like a queen.

My mum was sent to Richmond House for rehabilitation following a hip operation. She was treated with care and dignity throughout her stay. The staff were very caring and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The level of care was excellent.

All of the staff are very caring, giving lots of support to my mother, as a new resident, and to our family. My mother is well looked after, clean and tidy. She is happy and interacts well with the staff, they are skilled in communicating with a stroke survivor. They are sensitive to my mother's needs
and treat her with dignity and respect. All of the staff are very friendly and are only too happy to help.

Arrived from hospital to Richmond House was made very welcome and greeted by members of the home.
The staff throughout my stay have been very polite and on hand, if I needed anything. Always happy to make you a brew if and when needed. I have had a very comfortable stay here.
The staff and their
team are a real credit to the home, from the carers to the cleaners, the chef to the physio team. Good information about the resources available after discharge. What a good team.

A huge thank you to all the amazing staff for caring for my mum after a hip operation. Her care was A-star. Everyone was so kind and considerate of her needs. She loved the lovely meals, and the staff were always happy to help; they were all considerate and made her feel comfortable and at ease! You
all work so hard and deserve credit for all you do! Staff were always willing to listen to her needs, have a little chat when she needed company and make her laugh at times ! Richmond House, you all do a wonderful job! A big thank you from the family; Mum was in good hands.

I was a resident for just over two weeks. I found all members of staff to be exceptionally caring, helpful and very supportive in my recovery of a fracture to my arm. I can honestly say I would recommend Richmond House 100%. All members of staff, from housekeepers, chefs, nurses, caring support staff,
tea ladies, physios to maintenance staff are a credit to you - (unsung heroes).

The attention I got was good. Food Good. Staff friendly and obliging. I am well looked after by all the staff. Physio treatment was good.


The only complaint was that the staff didn't know that I was a type 2 diabetic until my daughter in law visited fourteen days later and informed the staff. This

may have been because the community assessment unit (RAEI) didn't inform staff.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Richmond House Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We really appreciate your positive comments about your experience at Richmond House. We are pleased you found the staff to be supportive and obliging. We are very fortunate to have a great team at the home and we will ensure we share your feedback with them. Regarding staff not being aware of your medical condition, you are correct that this was not recorded in the assessment the home received. Following subsequent receipt of this information, colleagues confirmed the diagnosis with your GP and your records were updated to reflect it. Again, thank you for your kind comments.

I would recommend Richmond House to anyone as I received excellent care and services during my stay. My key carer and the male nurse were very kind to me and made sure I always felt comfortable. Thank you to all the staff for helping me on my road to recovery.

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.
