The room is very nice, the bed is comfy, the food is very good and the staff bend over backwards to help. They worked very hard and made my stay pleasant, wish I could stay longer.

I came here on April 30th and was treated extremely good. As each day passed the hospitality and staff were very helpful and the food was excellent. I thought I was in a 5-star hotel, the room was excellent and the facilities were excellent. If I come again I would chose here. Thank you.

The majority of staff were caring and attentive, however, I do feel that there wasn't enough communication with trained staff which was sometimes necessary. In general, my stay was pleasant.

I was only at Richmond House for 17 days following an accident from which I broke my femur. Everyone cared and looked after me very well. No complaints. Taught me to get up and down the stairs so I was able to go home and cope on my own. The carers came for two weeks when I went home. They were very
good and kind.

My dad was a resident at Richmond House from May 2019 to March 2020 firstly in intermediate care then a permanent resident. He was treated at all times with dignity, respect and more importantly love! All the staff were amazing, they supported both dad and myself. When we knew dad was on his final journey,
we were both treated with the most loving care and compassion and the end of life care was just amazing. I can honestly say the care, food and cleanliness of dad's room were always good and Richmond House and its team are angels on earth!

As a family, we feel confident that Mum is safe and well looked after, as does she. The nursing care she receives in respect of her nephroscopy tube is excellent. The staff and quality of care are very good indeed. However, the rooms are fairly basic and the food is quite often not to her liking.

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 will ensure your kind comments are shared with the team. It is good to know you feel reassured that your mother is safe and well looked after. We aim to offer the best care to all our residents and we are glad to know your mother feels she receives this at Richmond House. We are very fortunate to have great nursing colleagues at the home and we are pleased they are supporting your mother effectively. We understand the importance of environment and we are sorry you feel the room is a little basic; we would be happy to work with you to personalise this to your mother’s tastes. To help us better understand individual likes and dislikes with regard to the food offered at the home, we recently carried out a survey with a number of residents to seek their feedback on our spring menu. We would welcome the opportunity to further explore how we can better ensure your mother receives the foods she enjoys. Please do therefore get in touch so that we can facilitate this.

The manager, nurses and all the staff, every one of them, has been good to me, and all the patients. They really do go above the call of duty. Everyone has cared for me since I have been here, even the night staff. I have been here for 2-week. I will tell everybody how good Richmond House is to me;
they are the best.

I would like to say a very big thank you to all the staff at Richmond House for their care and encouragement when I was feeling down. The physiotherapy there has helped me walk again. The kitchen staff set all the lovely food. The nurses and the night staff thank you for getting me through this and
now I am well enough to go home.

My auntie stayed at Richmond House Care Home and its staff were excellent.
Due to Covid-19 no one could visit but I telephoned my auntie. The physio staff kept me informed of my auntie's progress and ensure everything was in place for her return home from her rehab stay.

Under extremely difficult times the Richmond House team have shown superb care.
The nursing team is first-class, a team of efficient and knowledgeable ladies. My husband has Parkinson's, a most complex illness, and his care has been faultless.
It is an extremely well-run establishment, everyone is
helpful and approachable, be it management, admin, nursing or the wonderful ladies and gents of the caring team.

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.
