Treated my mum with care and respect when she came in for rehabilitation. Her stay was very pleasant. The carers, nurses and physio all made her feel very welcome and was very caring. Staff also made mums visitors welcome.

The food was variable from poor to reasonable. Soup and a single sandwich is the mainstay of lunchtimes and is insufficient. The staff are friendly and courteous.

From the moment Mum was admitted the family have been delighted and relieved about mums treatment. The staff clearly explained the problems, nursing care and physio were excellent. Mum has told me herself that the staff were kind, polite and understanding and made mum welcome in her temporary home.
Many thanks

Whilst in the rehabilitation unit in Richmond House Dad has been well looked after and treated with dignity and respect. The staff have been helpful and have responded to questions about Dad's condition promptly and efficiently. Dad says he has no complaints at all.

Very noisy during visiting times. Children running up and down corridors. Patients calling for help and being ignored. Only two baths in two weeks. The staff were friendly, but sometimes when we needed to ask something there weren't any staff available that could answer our concerns. The décor was dated.
Food was satisfactory. Medication suddenly taking a lot more, tablets throughout the day without knowing why and what they were for.

Richmond House was my dads home for the last year of his life. The home is well managed and families are encouraged to be involved in regular meetings and events. It's clean and my dad always enjoyed the meals and snacks. There are regular activities for residents. However the main reason we chose Richmond
House was for the wonderful staff. From the moment it became his home he was treated with respect, dignity and humour. He received excellent care. During the last few weeks of his life he remained at Richmond House and staff ensured his wishes not to go to hospital were respected. He received tender, loving care from everyone and as a family we could not have made a better choice.

My stay here has been most pleasant and beneficial made by the smiling, willing staff. Every whim has been dealt quickly and happily. The medical staff have been informative when I asked and when dealing with outside bodies and have fought my corner, and have helped my wife and family also. Well done
Richmond House.

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.
