My sister is currently in Redworth House Care Home for respite. The care home is clean, modern, lovely and warm for the residents. I found the staff very warm and friendly. She has her own room with a TV and a nice view from her window where she can people-watch.

I visit my husband daily and always feel welcome. Very efficient and pleasant staff and excellent management. If I have any questions, they listen and comply with my wishes. My husband is well looked after and I always feel safe leaving him in their care. They treat all residents equally.

When Mum arrived at Redworth House she had been very ill ad dramatically underweight, she has been looked after and helped back to a good level of movement and weight gain.
She enjoys the activities and has made friends with other residents so interacts socially now. All staff are amazing and nothing
is a trouble for them to offer assistance and help.

The staff at Redworth House Care Home are kind and caring. They treat my mam with care and respect and make sure she is well and her needs are always met.
They are always welcoming to myself and family members who visit the home. The home is spotlessly clean and very modern.
Thank you to all the
staff.

Fantastic bunch of girls who helped my mum through a really difficult time after she fractured her knee. Really caring, very patient and had a lot of time for my mum. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

First of all I can't praise or thank Redworth House staff enough for their care of my mam who was in Redworth for 7 weeks after a hip operation. They were wonderful with her from day one. In particular, thanks to the team on shift when Mam was really poorly. Also to the occupational therapists and people
I only heard of in name, the physios?
The care home itself looked like it had recently been refurbished and was immaculate. Highly recommended.
Many thanks.

My partner has been in Redworth House Care Home since March 2023 becoming permanent in july 2023. I must say thing whilst the staff have cared for him exceptionally well they have also given huge support at all times. I feel part of their 'family' and this is extremely welcomed and appreciated.
I
have peace of mind that I can visit at any time and know he is settled and well cared for.

Staff were so friendly and helpful, always kind, even when having to be firm with care for my mother. They treated her medical needs but also made her laugh and appreciate what she had. Food was lovely, and she gained back the weight she had lost in hospital. Physio was good, and having people in to
do her hair and nails was a lovely treat.
Only criticism would be that there is an awful lot of work for only two staff at a time when the ward was full.

Staff were lovely and helpful, as my dad was taken here from hospital for end of life care. The care home made it possible for all family and friends to say their goodbyes, which would not have been the case at hospital.

Reply from Helen Reeve, Home Manager at Redworth House Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, they are much appreciated. I will pass this on to the staff involved with your dad's care. We hope we made a difficult time a little easier for you and your family.

Dad was completely settled since moving to this care home from respite at another home. All the staff interact with the residents with the best care in mind; always supportive to me too and there to help my concerns. Great activities and events, making Dad's stay better.

Absolutely amazing place! Just when we thought we couldn’t get my dad out of hospital, Redworth House Care Home pulled strings to get him a room, where we could spend what turned out to be his last 5 days, by his side. As a family we can’t thank the staff enough! Each and every member of the staff we
dealt with, helped my dad and the rest of our family who were around to make things as pleasant and comfortable as physically possible! Can’t recommend this company enough to anyone who is in need! Please consider them. They’re literally amazing. Thank you guys for all you did.

Reply from Helen Reeve, Home Manager at Redworth House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write this positive review, it is very much appreciated. It was an absolute privilege to support all the family at this difficult time. I will pass your compliments on to the staff. Please pass on our very best regards to everyone.

Would not give this care home any stars. My mum attended for a week's leave and if she had stayed for another week would have been dead. Didn't look after her, not washed her, she had lost weight and looked as though she had been drugged up all the time. Staff need training in dealing with people with
dementia or complex needs. Lots of her belongings went missing, informed staff and not helpful at all. The care home manager promised us that she would be cared for but she certainly wasn't.

Reply from H E, Regional Director at Redworth House Care Home

We deeply regret to learn about the challenges you feel she encountered during her stay, and we empathize with the distress this must have caused both of you.

Redworth House Care Home really welcome Mum from the hospital for intermediate care. She was so well looked after, especially by one carer. It enabled Mum to build up her strength and start walking again, with help from the physios and encouragement from the staff. The doctor's practice covering the
home and district nurses was outstanding. The room was ideal, especially with the ensuite facilities. If it had been necessary, Mum would have been happy to stay there longer.

Reply from Helen Reeve, Home Manager at Redworth House Care Home

Thank you very much for your positive review, we really appreciate your comments. I will pass this on to the Intermediate Care team who loved caring for your mum and to see her progress was fabulous. Kind regards.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for Redworth 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.648 for Redworth House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 230 Ratings = 4.648

  • 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 Redworth House Care Home is based on 19 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
