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

First, my mother and then more recently my father have been residents at Redwalls. They are exceedingly caring and all the staff are so kind and polite. The residents look happy and well cared for. The home itself is very clean and we were delighted to see how lovely they have made my Dad’s room for
him. The activities coordinators are brilliant and really keep the residents occupied if they can. Highly recommended.

Reply from Diana Galatanu, Home Manager at Redwalls

Dear Fiona,
Thank you so much for your kind words, this will definitely brighten the day for the team, I will make sure that this is shared with them.
It is a pleasure to look after your dad and the team have been very close to your mum too.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any queries.
Kind regards,
Diana

I can not commend Redwall's management and staff highly enough of the superb care and service provided to my father during his stay. He was treated with kindness and respect and given the dignity he deserved.


As family members not able to visit because of lockdown restrictions, the staff went out

of their way to ensure we were able to 'see' my father via FaceTime calls and showing him the family videos we sent. He was encouraged to partake in fun activities on a daily basis and found the staff kind and attentive. The food was also excellent.

Reply from Tj Adamson, Home Manager at Redwalls

Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean the world to us here at Redwalls. It was an absolute pleasure looking after Dad and it was also a pleasure meeting you, mum and the rest of the family and working together to support him. I will make sure to pass your remarks on to the rest of the staff team.

An excellent nursing home, spotlessly clean and beautiful surroundings. Very caring staff who soon got to know Dad’s likes and dislikes. Receptive to my Dad’s needs and wishes. I am glad, as a family, we decided to move Dad to Redwalls nursing home.

We would like to thank you all for taking care of our mum who was in her final few days on life’s journey. Throughout her short stay with you, she was treated with respect and dignity which we, and am sure she, truly appreciated. You showed courtesy and understanding to her family and made a difficult
time easier to bear through your empathy and compassion. In order to do your work, you must have to have a special attitude and mindset which not everyone has the ability or capacity to achieve. Never underestimate the importance of your job and always remember that you make a difference to people at the most difficult of times. Thank you again

I am very happy with the care provided for my grandparents. The staff at Redwalls are extremely helpful and provide excellent care. They are very approachable and more than happy to answer any questions. They go the extra mile when it is a special occasion and ensure my grandparents have a wonderful

My mother has been a resident in Redwalls for almost three years and my father for over two years.
Mum is bedridden and needs extensive nursing care and although dad can be difficult all the staff are very patient and caring with them both. It is very reassuring to know that they are safe and well
cared for.
The catering staff go beyond the call of duty to cope with dad's indecisiveness and fussy eating habits.
All the staff are so friendly and cheerful, I think of them as part of my family.
I think my grandson echoed our thoughts when he announced after a visit to his great grandparents "it's great here I didn't think old people's homes were like this".

My Mother has been in Redwalls for nearly 4 years. The care she has received has been excellent. All the Staff have been lovely caring and able to spend time with my Mother. Her diet was limited to pureed food but every care was taken to ensure she ate food that she liked. The Home is very welcoming
and feels like a home rather than a care home. I would not hesitate to recommend Redwalls and am very grateful that they had space when we needed it.

Reply from Redwalls Manager, Home Manager at Redwalls

Your mother was an integral part of the home. We will miss her wit and love of shopping at her high street store. She will be greatly missed by all. Thank you for your support over the years.

I did not want my mom going into care but I had peace of mind with my mom in Redwalls. My mom had terminal cancer and was treated by all staff in the nicest way. Always with respect. She had a lovely room and on warm sunny days, we were able to sit in the beautiful grounds. I will always be sad at not
being able to look after my mom but Redwalls helped with such a big decision.

My father has been at Redwalls since August and both my brother and I have been impressed by the level and diligence of care he has received.
This was highlighted at Christmas when we shared the experience of the Christmas Day festivities with him at the Home. The input that the staff put into making
the day joyous was evident. The extent to which they had clearly planned the day to make everyone feel integrated plus the quality of the Christmas meal and the support that all the staff who had given up their own family responsibilities made visitors and residents alike uplifted.

Redwalls, a truly wonderful place. My brother was cared for in an environment that he and every family member felt was just like home. Every member of staff, whatever their role was involved. The staff were compassionate, caring, respectful, mindful and open about their pride in their work. I would
hope that Redwalls will always remain as it is. I cannot see any need to change what it is, "home". Please allow Redwalls to remain the size it is, not to become a "corporate" place to stay. I cannot say a big enough thank you to Redwalls.

My brother was here for a short while in receipt of palliative care. On arrival, he was delighted with his room and the setting. He really liked all of the staff who attended his needs. When end of life came, as a family we took shifts to stay with him 24/7. I cannot praise the staff who cared for him
enough. The most senior down to cleaning and tea staff all were very professional with a friendly approach. They were also very compassionate and caring toward family members.

My grandma came in for what became end of life care. The staff were amazing, not only were they incredibly attentive to my grandma's comfort and needs, they then ensured that we and other family members were not only offered refreshments but also offered support emotionally.


As a healthcare professional

myself, it's easy to spot poor care but the Redwalls team were amazing and made, what was an incredibly difficult time, a little easier.


Thank you all.

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.
