Brancepeth Court
from A G (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

After always promising my mam not to place in a care home, we had no other choice than to do this for her own safety, after only 1 week of staying here she was so settled and happy, receiving the best care from lovely staff members, weight gain was very important & within weeks gained nearly a stone

in weight. Every member of staff are a great asset to the team, manager is so helpful and approachable with any problems we faced. Myself & siblings have utmost peace of mind knowing how happy our mother is.

Review of
Redworth House Care Home
from David H (Wife of Resident) published on 18 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wife was at Redworth House for palliative care. When she first arrived we had problems some down to me and some to them but all my concerns were quickly address. After this shaky start the care she received was excellent from all the staff. My wife was treated with dignity and respect at all times,

the food I can not comment on as she would only eat ice cream by then but they did try. She passed away after 3 weeks and was prepared for next stage of her journey by them. Thank you all at Redworth House.

from A G (Wife of Resident) published on 1 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My husband was in Redworth Care Home for 17 months. I only have words of empathy support caring understanding and respect shown towards him by all the staff. They always made him feel comfortable and reassured him in times when needed. He always felt safe and spoke highly of the staff as I, his wife,

did too. I thank them so much for taking good care of him for me I will never forget all of the staff.

Overall Experience

The care that all the staff gave my mother was absolutely brilliant. The staff were all supportive, professional, polite and friendly. They allowed my whole family to relax as we knew they were taking care of her. She was in extreme pain and distraught when she just arrived from hospital but within

an hour she was relaxed and comfortable. The food is of excellent quality. Overall amazing service!!

Lumley Court
from L P (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

To all the Lumley Court care staff and nurse, thank you for looking after my mum while she was with you. She had many happy moments with you enjoying the company of other residents, sociable meal times and the activities. Thank you for all the times the staff allowed me to talk to my mum down the phone

even at the very end. All these memories are treasured memories for me her daughter and the extended family. Also thank you for being so welcoming to us when we visited as a family on the several occasions we came with my husband and my family and our dog we are grateful for the perfect level of communication we have received while she was in Lumley court. The family will appreciate your dedication to your duties for the rest of our lives.

Overall Experience

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.

Review of
Brancepeth Court
from David W (Husband of Resident) published on 27 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My wife arrived at Brancepeth Court towards the end of November 2024, I'm impressed with the standard of the home and level of care that she receives, following a major stroke last year.
As a daily visitor, I find the home has a warm and welcoming environment. The carers and nurses always have a smile

on their face and this is reflected in their care towards the residents. They are a credit to their profession.
A lot of effort was put in to make the home festive for the Christmas period, including the staff who entered fully into the spirit of Christmas. An excellent dinner was served up for Christmas Day and all the residents received presents from the home.
The activities staff work very hard and provide a varied selection of activities, especially in the run-up to Christmas. The kitchen staff also work hard to provide delicious, home-cooked meals and varied snacks.
I find the environment of Brancepeth has contributed to my wife's speech recovery which had previously lapsed. Now that my wife is a resident here, I'm confident her health and well-being will continue to improve.

Reply from Karen, Home Manager at Brancepeth Court

Thank you for your kind words which I have shared with the entire team! It is our privilege to care for your wife at Brancepeth Court and it's always a pleasure to see you when you visit.

Review of
Brancepeth Court
from Peter G (Husband of Resident) published on 23 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

From the very first 10 minutes I was in the home, I knew this was where my wife was going to be cared for. I met a team leader and a nurse and their professionalism and support meant I didn't need to see the room. I decided there and then that this is where I wanted my wife to be. My decision to have

my wife cared for at Brancepeth Court was proved correct straight away. The whole team, from carers, nurses, cleaners, cooks and management, deserve praise for their love, care, professionalism and dedication to their clients. A massive well done to them all.

Reply from Karen, Home Manager at Brancepeth Court

Thank you, Peter, for your lovely words which I have passed on to the whole team. It was a pleasure to have your wife with us.

Review of
Brancepeth Court
from E W (Respite Resident) published on 12 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Being a younger resident I was dreading my time in respite and a time to heal in bed as I thought I would be stuck in my room with my broken leg watching a television. Luckily for me, the staff encouraged me to spend time mixing with the other residents during activities and meal times which helped

break barriers between us and really helped me settle in.
The staff from cleaners, handymen, carers, cooks and domestic all have a polite and courteous manner and are always trying to assist you as best they can.
Compared to other care homes I have stayed in Brancepeth has excelled in their activities provision they really try to think outside the box at times which can be seen by the website and displays.
When it came to meal and snack times there was always a choice of homemade meals available which were delicious.
This by far has been my most comfortable care home experience I would definitely recommend Brancepeth to anyone who is looking for an exceptional care home.

Review of
Lumley Court
from Norma W (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

On the day I found out my lovely mum had to go into residential care I was heartbroken. All my fears and tears subsided as I got to know the staff at Lumley Court. Mum has a lovely room with her own possessions around her. Mum has always taken a pride in her appearance and the staff make sure her nails

are painted and her outfits are colour-matched. She is always clean and tidy. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff at Lumley Court and our concerns are listened to and dealt with quickly. The staff are kind, amazing and very supportive. They can lighten the mood with a laugh and a smile.

Reply from Bethany Morrow, Care Manager at Lumley Court

Good afternoon Norma, I would just like to thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to complete a care home review. I will pass your compliments on to the team.

Review of
Richmond Court
from P S (Son of Resident) published on 18 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father spent three and a half years at Richmond Court, where throughout his residency all the staff proved very attentive, patient and respectful and would go out of their way to ensure my father was as comfortable as possible as he suffered from Alzheimer's. When my father was pronounced at the

end of life, the care and nursing staff made every effort to ensure my father was as relaxed and comfortable as possible during his final few days. The accommodation is clean and safe. My father especially loved the food and rarely left anything. There are many activities available, although my father generally chose not to partake. The home is always very welcoming to visitors.

Review of
Lumley Court
from M N (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I can't really fault the level of care Mam gets, some staff are good with her and others excellent. Some staff treat family members more favourably than others and some are unprofessional and rude.
The rooms could do with being refreshed and repainted/updated. Since the new activities staff member

joined, activities have improved and have been more tailored for different levels of dementia patients. Safety/security is of a concern as residents should not be able to get off the unit and this has happened on several occasions.
