Redwalls Nursing Home is situated in the wonderful countryside of Sandiway, near to Northwich.

This Edwardian house has retained all the style of what was once a private residence.

The home has been tastefully furnished to a high standard to provide luxury and comfort for residents. It has a some wonderful areas for residents to sit and relax with family and friends, including a large lounge, a library and beautiful conservatory overlooking the front of the home.

There is a magnificent landscaped garden which provides wonderful outdoor space for residents and their families which, during the summer months provides a wonderful venue for many of the events and activities, including Garden Parties and Summer Fayre.

All the bedrooms have been furnished to a high standard, they are spacious and many offer en-suite facilities. Residents are encouraged to bring small items from home to make them feel more at home.

Mealtimes are an important part of the day and chefs prepare delicious and nutritious meals to stimulate even the most discerning appetites. Residents are encouraged to take time over their meal and socialise with other residents.

The health and well-being of residents is important and the home plans and organises an extensive programme of activities and events, taking into account any hobbies or interest residents may have, to help maintain the mental and physical well-being of residents. Families are always welcome to join in with activities and events

I cannot praise the staff and care at Redwalls highly enough. They really go the extra mile to provide individual care and assistance to the residents with their wide variety of needs. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming and residents and visitors treated with respect and kindness. It is a joy
to visit my friend and watch her grow in confidence and see her enjoying the activities provided. It is a very special place, full of love and compassion, it is wonderful to feel part of the Redwalls family when I visit.

Beautiful setting, comfortable and pleasantly decorated clean rooms. Excellent car provided for Dad. All the staff are and always have been helpful, kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble (an extra chair was provided at Dad's bedside so that I could hold his hand). Plenty of drinks/snacks are
available for Dad and tea is offered to visitors if required.
Over the years Dad has said how happy he is at Redwalls. A lovely home to live in with wonderful nursing care, food, and activities.

Over all Mum is treated really well. Just would prefer a catch-up with medical staff on a more regular basis. Although management has changed I still haven't met the new manager and I am usually here twice a week.

Reply from Redwalls Manager, Home Manager at Redwalls

Thank you for your feedback. I have held two relatives meetings since being in post and send out regular emails inviting all families to meet with me when ever they wish. I will ensure I make a greater effort to come and meet you when you are next in the building. My apologies for not having met you yet.

Pros:
Kept informed of events.
Carers are always pleasant.
Care taken to meet the requests of Mother.
Nursing staff informative - take time to ensure.
Cons:
My Mother feels that sometimes carers may walk away as she is speaking to them.
Consider sending a monthly activity chart out so relatives
have a discussion.

Reply from Redwalls Manager, Home Manager at Redwalls

Thank you for your review. It is always a positive experience to receive feedback that enables us to improve and maintain expected standards. I will discuss this with the team to ensure we are more attentive. Thank you for taking the time to send in a review.

I cannot recommend Redwalls highly enough. Mum was a resident for over 3 years until she died. She received amazing care and was very happy.
The staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and supportive and her end-of-life care was dignified and compassionate. Visits are welcoming and friendly.
Lots of
events and activities for residents. Thank you.

Mum lived at Redwalls for the final 13 months of her life. My siblings and I chose the home on her discharge from hospital and we never regretted the decision. Our first impressions of a clean, bright, and homely atmosphere where caring and compassion were a priority never changed. Mum was very well
cared for and we were always warmly welcomed when visiting. All the staff were friendly and caring, treating Mum with compassion and respect for her dignity at all times. Mum had a lovely room personalised to her taste and memories. With dedicated help Mum enjoyed the best quality of life her disabilities allowed, joining in-home activities and sharing meals in the dining room whenever her health permitted. The nursing care she received throughout but particularly in her final days was exemplary.

Found the whole experience of visiting our friend in Redwalls lovely. The decor and surroundings helped to make it a very friendly, homely, and comfortable place. Every member of staff was helpful, and friendly and went out of their way to make our visit a joyful one. All of the residents that we saw
appeared to be happy, content and well-treated by all the staff.

Since visiting initially just over a year ago we were impressed with the friendliness of all the staff and especially impressed with the dining area and gardens. Mum has a lovely room with a great window view over the nice lawn and gardens. It's great to be able to come and go quite freely rather than
having a strict regime on visiting times etc.

A nice welcome from staff when entering. The staff seem to laugh and joke with my dad which helps with his insanity and stay here.

Thank you for an enjoyable respite at Redwalls. Everyone was most kind, and although I'm pleased to be home again, I miss the conversations and contact with both residents and staff. I very much appreciated the exercise classes and the board game afternoons, etc. To have a daily walk around the garden
(weather permitting) was great. Had I stayed longer, I would have spent more time in the library. I shall remember my time with you with affection.

Reply from Kean Mason-Buckley, Operations Manager at Redwalls

Thank you so much for the lovely review, we really appreciate this. The staff have said you were very positive and sent good vibes across our team and it was a privilege to have you as part of our family. If we can support you any further then please contact us again. Best wishes.

After my initial tour, followed by the acceptance of my wife, it confirmed my impression of being part of a large family. Every member of the staff, no matter at what level, was keen to welcome you and to cater for your needs. The staff keep me informed of how my wife is coping when I am not present.
It is a pleasure to cooperate with the medical staff and the visiting doctor. I am more than pleased with the choices of nursing home for my wife.

My mum has been in Redwalls for just over a month. From the moment we came to look around before deciding on Redwalls, my brother and I were confident that was the right place for her.
The staff are all lovely and treat my mum with respect and dignity at all times. The home is very well organised,
spotlessly clean and there is a lovely warm, homely feel, which has enabled my mum to settle into a routine very quickly. I recommend Redwalls unreservedly.

Reply from Redwalls Manager, Home Manager at Redwalls

Thank you so much for your generous review. I am glad Mum's stay is going well and I know Mum has settled in well, I believe Mum has gained a couple of friends along the way which is amazing to see around the home. I know you and your brother visit often and are a massive support network for Mum and the home. We take immense pleasure in caring for your Mum and welcoming her, as well as you and your family, into the Redwalls community. I will ensure that your kind words are communicated to the staffing team.

Just want to thank the care staff at Redwalls Nursing Home for the care they give to my mother who is living there. It's taken a while for Mum to settle in as she's a very independent lady and to adjust to care home living was a big change for her. The staff have made her feel welcome and cared for.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.720)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.720) out of 10 for Redwalls is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.720 for Redwalls is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 400 Ratings = 4.72

  • 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 Redwalls is based on 34 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 34 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.
