  • Mother Redcaps Care Home, Wallasey
Mother Redcaps Care Home is a purpose-built care facility specialising in nursing, residential and dementia residential care. The site has a fantastic view of the River Mersey and promenade and has been of historical significance to the local community for hundreds of years.

The home currently plans and administers care to the most vulnerable of adults with a varied range of abilities and dependence. There is a qualified nurse on duty 24 hours a day and a great team of senior and care staff that are dedicated to meeting the needs of your loved one.

There is a small garden area that looks directly onto the promenade and shore and is wheelchair accessible. This is particularly enjoyable in the summer during maritime events and various charity events that pass the home along the Mersey.

There have been some issues with management, staff and equipment which is not being addressed.

Reply from Steve Fairley, Home Manager at Mother Redcaps Care Home

We are glad that your mother has settled well into our home, and that you are very happy with the home. The views across the Mersey are excellent. Thank you for your positive comments.

Experience of the home has always been positive. The staff have always shown to be committed to the care and welfare of my father. Now that staffing levels have been addressed we would recommend the home to anyone seeking similar facilities.

What a lovely friendly atmosphere this home has. The staff are second to none, the care and compassion they showed my mother was exceptional, nothing was a hassle to them, always on hand to give you any help and support the family required.
I can't thank you all enough for the support you showed us

Couldn't wish for a more friendly and happy nursing home, the staff are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble for them.
Visitors are made welcome at any time day or night, and special thanks to the two carers for making my mum as comfortable and happy as they possibly can.

The care my stepmother received during her short stay was excellent. The staff could not do enough for her and from day one, engaged with her and made her feel very welcome. That also applied to her family and friends. I was able to discuss her care and voice any concerns regarding her health.
Sadly,
my step mother passed away but the care and compassion shown to her, and to me, in her final hours could not be faulted. Thank you all very much for being there at that sad time.

This home provided a rare facility for my son, he is only fifty two, need I say more! The attitude of this home is to be generous with us as we are very hands on and encourage us to look after our son. The residents are looked after by caring staff who work hard. Atmosphere is strong in this building
and everyone is included. All in all us as parents are very happy.

My mother came to Mother Redcaps, in September 2013, after my sister and I realised that she could no longer live on her own. Understandably, mum was reluctant to give up the home where she had lived for almost 50 years, but she eventually adjusted to life at Mother Redcaps. She has a lovely room, with
superb views of the Liverpool Waterfront. The room contains furniture from her former home and is decorated with photos of family and friends. She has her own TV and telephone. All members of staff go out of their way to assist mum in every way possible, meaning that my sister and I can relax knowing that she is being well looked-after at all times. Her room is always clean and tidy, the meals she receives are consistently good and all her physical needs are met. The home keep in regular contact with mum's GP in order to monitor her medical condition. I would recommend the home to anyone looking for residential care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Mother Redcaps Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.783 for Mother Redcaps Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.783

  • 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 Mother Redcaps Care Home is based on 14 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
