So happy with the care and attention that my wife is receiving at Richmond House. It is a very personal and caring environment for her. Attention to detail never spored.
My mind is very much at ease knowing that she is so excellently looked after.

Richmond House's staff and residents have become our new family. Everyone is so kind and caring, always keeping the residents as their main priority. I am still adapting to my mum's illness and the transition of her moving into a care home but the staff have helped me so much and still do. They are
always available with support and a hug. The environment is so bright and happy with many stimulating activities for the residents. Each resident is treated as an individual with the utmost dignity and respect. The cleanliness is of top quality standards and meals are the same. I am forever grateful to all of the staff. They are very special people.

Reply from Amanda Hughes, Deputy at Richmond House Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We like to think that family are just as important as our residents and we will always assist in helping any transition become easier. We are so glad you are happy with Richmond House and the care we provide.

My impression of this care home is exactly what it says, care. Nothing is too much trouble. The place is clean. Plenty of activities going on that is why I chose this place. I can't comment on the food as I haven't seen it but my sister says it's nice. Reasons for good not excellent as the carpets and
curtains are tired but to be expected.

Mum is very happy and cared for at Richmond House. She enjoys the activities and receives excellent care from the staff.
She has a lovely room and the staff are welcoming when we visit. Mum is always well dressed, she enjoys the lovely food.
Nothing is too much trouble.

When Mam was diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer's, it was imperative that we quickly found a suitable care home able to deal with her condition. We visited several homes and were not satisfied but after a recommendation, we arranged to visit Richmond House where we met the manager and staff, inspected
the facilities, rooms, and communal areas, and quickly realised that Richmond House was exactly what Mam needed, as they were able to provide high-quality care in terms of staff to resident ratio, experienced managers; a safe, purpose-built building, a warm, comfortable ground-floor en-suite room with certificates and awards to prove.
In summary, we feel we were lucky that Richmond House had a suitable room available at a difficult time and that the care and compassion that both Mam and we as a family received, made a difficult and upsetting time much easier when we saw that Mam was soon settled and happy.
Thank you so much Richmond House. Five Stars all day, every day!

Moving a loved one into care is never an easy decision to make. Will the home be suitable? Will they settle in? Will they receive the right level of care? All questions were answered positively when my mother became a resident. I am unable to visit regularly, I reply on updates from staff and management
and they've been very accommodating and understanding. For example, when my mother had to go to hospital recently, members of staff took it upon themselves to visit and check on her wellbeing. This was very comforting. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the staff and what they do.

I can't really think of anything more that Richmond House could provide than it already does. The high quality of the facilities, all the staff and the duties they all perform are second to none. In particular, the interaction of all the staff (carers, manager, cleaners, everyone) with my mother is
lovely to see and is reassuring that in what is a difficult time of her life, she is really in the best place. Thank you.

As far as I know my husband's care was satisfactory but not enough encouragement to keep mobile. I always felt unwelcome and not involved in his care at all. Staff answers to any questions were contradictory or known to be untrue. Visiting allowed was disgusting and meant my husband often missed visits.
By pre-booking only about nine visitors were allowed per day between 35 patients. Staff were not helpful in assisting with booking.

Reply from Amanda Hughes, Deputy at Richmond House Care Home

Thank you for your review. The Management and Staff work hard to create a welcoming and inclusive Home, and we can only apologise if you feel that this was not your experience. Following the Pandemic, we reviewed our Visitor's Policy, based on the needs of the Residents we care for, and found that minimising the volume of Visitors in the Communal Areas - had a positive outcome for our Residents, reducing levels of distress and agitation overall. Visitors are warmly welcomed and encouraged to visit in designated Lounges or Resident's bedrooms. We also invite Visitors to share a meal with their loved ones and celebrate special occasions together, which also appears to be a positive experience for many. Unfortunately, we are unable to respond directly to your concerns raised, referencing your Husband's individual needs, as this is a public platform. We would welcome an opportunity to address any concerns you may have had and would encourage you to contact us if you feel it is of benefit.

On the whole, the care home has very good standards. One of my issues is my mum's laundry is getting ruined. Everything that is white has turned pink or grey and looks awful. The telephone line is shocking and get cut off regularly. Some staff are not very helpful and I worry about communication barriers
due to staff who speak broken English as my mother has very little hearing.

5 stars is not enough. Richmond House and its staff are unbelievable on every level. My mum is a resident there, and my father visited twice a week, they made him so welcome he looked forward to going to visit my mum and see the staff. I can never thank them enough. When my father passed I felt they
not only had my mum in their care, but they have my back. I visited my mum on her birthday not long after my father passed and when I started breaking down, staff were there to support me. Yes, Richmond House is a lovely place, the staff are the beating heart of the place and do an amazing job, above and beyond. Amazing, thank you guys from the bottom of our family's hearts.

Reply from Amanda Hughes, Deputy at Richmond House Care Home

Mark, there are no words that can do your review justice. Residents are our family, and we like to think that their family also becomes ours. Thank you for your lovely words. We miss your dad and will do our best to continue to provide the very best for your mum too.

From the early days that my dear wife entered Richmond House Care Home, I have observed and felt proud to have witnessed the care, consideration and respect, given to and shown to all residents. Even throughout the dark days of the Covid period, every precaution was taken by Richmond House to safeguard
residents and staff.
I have the honour and pride to accept all staff as friends. Well done Richmond House.

Brillant staff, they kept us informed when things happened to my father-in-law. My father-in-law was very happy being there, home from home, he had a fall and they took him to hospital, the security was brilliant as my father-in-law likes to escape, but he couldn't there.

This establishment is an example of how a care home should be run. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are outstanding.
The food is appetising and nourishing. There is always some activity happening to keep the residents engaged and stimulated.
Well done to all concerned.

My mum has been at Richmond House since November 2022 - I reluctantly released her from my care as I was struggling. From the minute she reached them, they were amazing - she had a new lease of life - a happy side of my mum came out, and she hugged and kissed and settled with the carer's help.
Sadly
she deteriorated - stopped eating, despite the carers and cooks doing everything they could. They allowed us to come and go as we wished, which was often twice a day. Sadly she passed away with passionate, professional carers and us by her side on June 2nd 2023.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.745)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.745) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.745 for Richmond House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.745

  • 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 17 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 17 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.
