Very friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door - feels like "home" straightaway. Care very good - nothing is too much trouble! Staff very friendly and obliging. Rooms very comfortable, (although mine does not get Wi-Fi and I have to go downstairs to use the internet, but I understand this
will be rectified sometime in the future). Very clean and facilities very good. Various activities - no danger of getting bored.

Very happy that my father has such a beautiful room with great views, in a lovely location. Very attentive staff. The minibus is a great addition and can take him to hospital appointments. The home appears progressive, allowing my father a virtual assistant technology device in his room and a coffee
making machine. All in all, we feel that during the current pandemic, the home is performing excellently.

My mum had a wonderful respite stay at The Red House. The staff were so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They were always happy and helpful. The meals and food, in general, were delicious and cooked on the premises. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to stay here. Thank you, it was much
appreciated knowing that mum was in such good hands.

Recognising that she was in the early stages of dementia my mother chose to give up living alone in her bungalow. The Red House has been the perfect solution for my mother's needs. The en-suite room is ideal for making her feel comfortable. Even before lockdown, it was very clear that everything about
the Red House particularly the staff is dedicated to putting the resident's needs and requirements first. It is always a joy to visit my mother as I' always made very welcome and it is clear that my mother is contented.

My father and I have had to meet outdoors on the last few occasions due to the Covid-19 outbreak. We were still made to feel comfortable and the staff were on hand if we needed anything. I have nothing but praise for the way the home manager reacted to the Covid-19 outbreak. Her swift and decisive action
has ensured the home has stayed Covid-19 safe.

A lovely peaceful care home with very happy residents. The manager and staff are so professional and caring. They have gone beyond during this period of isolation to ensure all the residents are kept motivated and entertained. My mother says she felt at home here from her very first day.

I visited my grandfather recently and was very pleased with the measures in place during the pandemic. We were able to see him outdoors with a 2-meter distance. The staff are always friendly, and the residents seem well looked after.
I asked my grandfather how he felt there, and he said he was very
happy with the care, and that he was fed well! They go out of their way to make them feel special on birthdays and occasions too.
He also spoke of the lovely views which can be enjoyed. I would recommend it to others as I have only ever heard good things about it.

My dear Mum has been at The Red House for a couple of years, and it is the only place where she has settled, felt safe and well cared for, and Mum tried several other homes but never settled. It is a small residential home that feels like a normal home. I don’t live locally, so it is so reassuring to
know that Mum is well cared for and the manager is so kind and approachable. She was able to work Mum out from the outset, which is why Mum is getting the care that works for her, which is such a huge relief. The staff work extremely hard to make the experience of the residents a happy one.

My dad was at another care home before this, which was terrible, so we looked at Red House; it was perfect. Very friendly and welcoming, the staff are lovely, and I truly believe my dad would not be around now, if not for the care and support he gets from everyone at Red House. He is extremely comfortable
and well looked after. I would not hesitate in recommending Red House to anyone.

Lovely homely atmosphere and all residents treated as individuals.
Good range of entertainment and activities provided. Friendly and approachable staff who have provided amazing care during the Covid-19 crisis. My grandmother can have some challenging behaviour at times and they always seem to manager
her with patience and care.

I can't praise the staff enough for the tremendously hard work they put in for the care of the residents at The Red House, they provide excellent activities to help stimulate the residents and go above and beyond to keep the residents entertained. I know it's been a difficult time for all with the Coronavirus,
but they have kept everyone safe and well and their system for allowing visitors outside with 2 metres distancing to see the residents has been fantastic, which I am sure they have all needed. Can't praise the staff enough for their care and attention.

I'm a highly protective daughter, delighted with the Red House who take great care of my Mum. They're thoughtful, gentle, considerate and kind. Humour abounds! The Red House isn't like a retirement home but a family home - all welcomed/cared for in relation to their needs. Even me! When I first visited
I noted the absence of malodorous challenges which can abound in care homes. The cleaners are great - keeping it smelling fresh. That really matters to family. Whatever they do, staff take their care role seriously: the lovely cleaners, amazing chefs, able handyman/gardener and the wonderful carers and activities staff - all fab, thoughtful, giving and caring. I can't thank them enough. It's largely down to the professional manager who's to be credited for what happens there. Thank you all. I can't comment about night-time security because I'm not there but am aware of the staff's attitude to safety and security so am reassured my Mum's in a safe and secure environment.

On my initial visit to Red House, I was struck by the absence of the usual 'care home odours' - it was clean and welcoming. The manager is 'hands on', approachable and responsive to concerns.
Staff are caring, kind and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble.
I would class myself as an
over protective relative but have no hesitation in recommending Red House Care Home.

A friendly, welcoming, homely place with possibly the best view in Britain! my mum is now very dependant on the staff and no longer able to clearly communicate. They treat her with such dignity and even seem to know what she wants or is trying to say.
Residents enjoy lovely home cooking, innovative
activities and trips.
Staff are approachable, caring and flexible. The manager is truly wonderful.

My Mother spent nearly 3 happy years at the Red House. At all times she was treated with care and compassion. The staff are wonderful and do their best to encourage residents involvement in the home's many activities. My mother needed a lot of support following a stroke and I cannot fault the care she
was shown. The staff were always friendly and welcoming to visitors, nothing was too much trouble. And finally when she died they showed extraordinary kindness and understanding to me.
