Excellent friendly and caring staff. Really feel mum is at home here and being well looked after. She was nervous at first, but the staff here reassured her and have brought out the best in her. She's more like her old self, at home where dad struggled to cope, and both their health were deteriorating. It's a weight off my mind. Thank you Redbond Lodge Care Team.
Dear Gary,
Thank you so much for your very kind words and review. Your feedback is very important to help us maintain the highest levels of person-centred care and safety for our residents. Again, on behalf of Redbond team Thank you so much.
Best regards,Racquel
I would like to say thank you to all the staff at Redbond Lodge Care Home. My aunt, who is a resident has been in care for the last three and a half years. She continues to be happy and well cared for. I visit her as often as I can and I'm always greeted with a warm hello and smile. Redbond Lodge...
Thank you to you all.
Dear Jane,

With the care of the staff and their encouragement, she is much happier and healthier than before. Her general health has improved greatly and she is much happier. She participates in so many activities due to the encouragement of all members of staff, especially the entertainments lady. I cannot thank all at Redbond Lodge enough.
Thank you so much for your kind review. The Redbond team are so pleased that your mother is settling in very well. I will relay your appreciation to our team.
Best regards.
The care and support the Redbond team have given Mum and family has been amazing. They all work so hard and nothing is too much trouble. Mum's health has improved greatly.

My mother was a resident in the care home for nine and a half years. I have been very pleased with her care there. I was always notified if there was anything wrong with her. She was happy there. I was informed straight away when she suddenly deteriorated and was with her when she sadly passed away last month. These people are caring and are worth their weight in gold, as my late brother always said.
The Redbond team just wanted to take this opportunity to genuinely thank you for the wonderful review and for putting your trust in us. Thank you.

Once again, I am really grateful to all at Redbond Lodge for what you have done for my wife. Thank you all so very, very much.
We have been very lucky to find such a wonderful home for my Aunt. It's very clean and welcoming with lots to offer and supporting independence.

I love it that my Aunt has her own door number with her name on it. The garden is a beautiful, peaceful environment and I love the working in partnership we have, seeing photos and supporting each other to give her the best she deserves.

My mum has been a resident of Redbond Lodge since early 2021 and was admitted during the pandemic, so not an easy time. The standard of care is superb. The manager and staff are friendly, helpful and go above and beyond with the care and attention they provide to residents and families to make both parties feel at home. Even during the pandemic as a new resident they arranged regular video calls etc. My mum has been unwell a few times since joining the home but has been looked after so well. Also, I have been kept really well informed by the staff. I would thoroughly recommend this home. It is clean, tidy, friendly and caring. If I ever need to go into care I would want to go to Redbond Lodge.
Mum came into the home after a three weeks stay in the hospital as she was very confused and anxious. In the short time, she has been a resident, she has made much improvement, but at 92, realised she was too frail to go home, and as she feels so safe and well cared for has decided to stay...
Mum came into the home after a three weeks stay in the hospital as she was very confused and anxious. In the short time, she has been a resident, she has made much improvement, but at 92, realised she was too frail to go home, and as she feels so safe and well cared for has decided to stay permanently. The staff go over and above with their attention to both residents and their families and make you feel very much "at home".
Excellent service. Excellent staff, clean, tidy and friendly staff and manager. Lovely place. The manager is great.

The staff at Redbond are an amazing team of hard-working people who genuinely care about the residents they look after. Mum lost the ability to speak or walk but observing her interaction with her carers gave me such comfort as I could see she responded well to them. They obviously got her to know her well during her time there and knew what she would and would not like.
During mum's last few days I was able to stay with her and I can't thank the Manager and her team for looking after mum, myself and her family with such kindness.
It warms our hearts to hear such amazing feedback!” on behalf of Redbond Lodge Team, Thank you for taking the time to share your reviews with us and thank you for placing your trust in us.
Our mum has been a resident of Redbond lodge, since January 2020. We have been very happy with the care she has received. She recently celebrated her 100th birthday (11/11/2020) and we cannot thank the staff enough for helping to make her day so special.

I highly recommend Redbond Lodge, my mum has been here for 8 years, she is well looked after and cared for. The care staff are professional and welcoming. Although I am unable to see mum I have had garden visits. I am kept fully informed about the home and mums progress. Redbond Lodge is also undergoing so much needed renovations and I can't wait to see it.

My Mum is always well cared for and the staff take extra time with her needs. The staff care about their residents and this is evident in their communications with me about Mum. During the pandemic, it has been hard on all of us, but the Home has ensured we can Facetime and even sent a postcard. I enjoy looking at the posts on Facebook and keeping in touch. Looking forward to when things 'go back to normal' and we can visit not only to see Mum but to see the staff.

All the contacts I have had by phone have been friendly and polite, despite their pressures to look after all the residents to the best of their ability, despite staff off sick too.

My mother was extremely well looked after over the six years that Redbond was her home. She became very fond of lots of staff working there and was treated with kindness and consideration. Many of the staff going well above and beyond their job description. My mother was given extra support and care through several illnesses and the loss of a close family member, in an individual and personal way which showed how well the staff at Redbond knew her. My father was also made very welcome as a very frequent visitor.
I visit my sister regularly and have always found her to be well cared for and happy. I have found the staff and the manager to be very friendly and approachable. The staff update me on how my sister has been between visits and always answer any questions I have. The care home is clean, friendly...

The care he receives is second to none, he loves the food and treats, but most of all, he loves the carers and the manager, who always makes him laugh even when he’s having an off day!

The home is very clean and there is plenty of activities to do if your parent wants to get involved.
With Covid19 we are unable to see mum at the moment. But a member of staff video calls me a few times a week so I can see my mum and talk to her. Without this interaction, I would be lost as the calls keep me going and I can see my mum. Thank you so much to the Redbond staff for caring for our mum especially at these hard times.

Welcome to Redbond Lodge! My name is Raquel and I am the Home Manager of our lovely home. I moved to the UK in 2008 and started my career in the United Kingdom. I joined Runwood Homes in November 2008 in different roles from Healthcare Assistant, Care Team Leader, and Deputy Manager from 2012 until I decided to take a big responsibility as a Home Manager at Redbond Lodge. I strongly believe that Customer Service is a key priority, as is building up the home’s residents, families, relatives, and friends and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of the care home. Redbond Lodge is such a lovely home with a good reputation in the community. I want to continue to build on that for more people to see it as the place to be. Furthermore, I want to ensure that the team feel valued and that they all have the training and support needed to do their very best. I love my team and deeply appreciate their hardworking commitment to their role. I feel privileged to be part of such a wonderful, caring team who are dedicated to maintaining the safety well-being and the best quality of life of all our residents. Thank you for considering Redbond Lodge and we hope to see you soon!

I’m Patricia, and I’ve been a Care Team Leader for nearly 10 years. I am also now currently Acting Deputy Manager. I love seeing the positive impact our home has on someone’s life. The efforts made by all staff members—from the care team to the domestics—are truly rewarding, and seeing the outcome of everyone’s hard work in our residents’ smiles makes it all worthwhile.
I hold an NVQ Level 3 and take great pride in my role. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching movies, and, of course, irritating my husband—something I’m quite excellent at!

My name is Marie. I have proudly served as Head Housekeeper at Redbond Lodge for 12 years. My role goes beyond maintaining a clean and welcoming environment—I am deeply committed to supporting our residents and staff whenever they need me.
I am a certified Dementia Champion, and completing the course was both enlightening and rewarding. I especially enjoy participating in musical activities at the Redbond Lodge, where I love getting everyone up and dancing, creating moments of joy and connection.
Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and grandchildren, who bring so much happiness to my life.

Hello, my name is Lisa, and I am the Home Administrator at Redbond Lodge, a position I have proudly held for the past three years. My journey in care began over 30 years ago as a healthcare assistant. Over the years, I progressed to a team leader role, always feeling a strong pullback to the care sector. Supporting residents, relatives, and staff brings immense fulfilment, and I am passionate about creating a nurturing and supportive environment.
Redbond Lodge is often complimented on its warm and friendly atmosphere, a quality I deeply value and take pride in contributing to every day.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors walking our dog, travelling to new places, getting lost in a good book, and immersing myself in music.

Hi, I’m Sarah, and I’ve had the pleasure of working as a Receptionist at Redbond Lodge for 1 year and 8 months. I truly enjoy interacting with our residents and their families, making sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. My role gives me the opportunity to build strong connections, and I take great pride in providing excellent service.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying active. I hold a green belt in karate and love staying fit through various physical activities. When I'm not working, you’ll often find me enjoying a good movie at the cinema or taking peaceful walks in the countryside.

Hi, I’m Karen, and I’ve been the Lifestyle Coordinator at Redbond Lodge for two and a half years. My passion lies in making our residents feel valued by organising meaningful activities that bring purpose and joy to their day.
I’m fortunate to work with amazing colleagues who make every day rewarding. While Christmas isn’t my favourite time of year, I do bring my own fun and quirky energy to the job—some might say I’m as mad as a hatter!
In my spare time, I love indulging in DIY projects and crafts, letting my creativity shine outside of work.
