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.

This is an excellent home, very clean and the staff are friendly and welcoming, my mum loves it here. I highly recommend it as I can't say or speak highly enough regarding my mum's care and the integration with staff and the care towards visitors. First class.

Absolutely outstanding care was given to our family member during her respite stay at Richmond House. The staff are trained to the highest of standards nothing was ever a problem if you needed anything Amanda and the staff were straight on it we have used other care homes but nothing compared to here.
Every single thing was so in-depth and done to the highest of standards our family member went in looking exhausted she came out like a new happy person more like her old self we are forever grateful to all the staff I can't thank them enough.

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.

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

I have the honour and pride to accept all staff as friends. Well done Richmond House.

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.

My mum has been in Richmond House nearly a year and I can’t thank the staff enough for looking after her when I haven’t been able to. These have been tough times for residents and staff and they go above and beyond. My mum came to the home after her home closed and the transition from one to the other
was great again nothing was too much trouble and they kept us informed along the way. Mum has settled in well and looks happy and as a daughter that means so much.

I have found the staff most helpful with them looking after my mother. The staff have kept me informed of any problems with her health especially as she entered Richmond House in the lull of the Pandemic. At that time choosing a home with the Covid restrictions in place we entered into a Virtual interview
and the choice we have made, regarding Richmond House is the best decision ever, so say all of us!

After several months of a difficult and emotional search for a care home for my mother, I had a recommendation for Richmond House. My family and I are so thrilled that Richmond House was all that we were looking for.
Mum has settled well and we are comforted to know that she is getting lots of care
and attention.
It’s lovely to see her on social media at times, looking fully engaged and content, this gives me so much peace of mind. I am unable to visit regularly as I live over 200 miles away.
Thank you to all the staff at Richmond House for enriching my mother's life. I can’t recommend you highly enough.

To be able to join in Music Therapy sessions with the residents by Zoom was so joyful during the pandemic. The challenges faced by staff to adapt to new technology to enable families to maintain a connection with a loved one were embraced, for which I was very grateful.

Reply from Amanda Hughes, Deputy at Richmond House Care Home

I don't think many of us envisaged using technology so much as we have in the last couple of years but it meant that we could still provide the stimulation via Zoom with both entertainers and families.

Our brother-in-law has been a resident at Richmond House Specialist Care Home, 71 Brighton Road, Rhyl for about two years by now at a most difficult time for himself and for the Care Home in managing the Corona Virus Pandemic.
For him, although suffering from memory problems as well as the recent
death of his wife, we as in-laws, are very satisfied and grateful for the obvious care that the home has provided for him and for the support and contact that the home has given us during the last couple of years.
We are elderly 'in-laws' who live quite a distance from the home - we chose it before the pandemic struck, as we thought it would enable his friends and neighbours to visit and keep in touch with him as well as us. Because of the Covid restrictions, this has not been possible, but the home has organised visits, care, medical needs, etc. very efficiently and we are very very grateful for this.
Whenever we visit it is obvious from his appearance that he is clean and well-groomed.

My father has been a resident of Richmond House for about twelve months now. During this time he has received excellent care from all the staff there. The staff have had many challenges during the pandemic but they have continued to put the health, safety and well-being of the residents first. The staff
are kind, cheerful and professional and are always available for updates and advice. I would highly recommend Richmond House.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.797 for Richmond House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 30 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 30 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.
