Overall Experience

I must say what a wonderful time I had at a picnic, hosted at the Red House. It was such a wonderful afternoon and the activities manager was everywhere with a smile. The entertainment was surprisingly good with tea and cake, plus a friendly atmosphere. You couldn't get a better day. I just wanted to

say thank you all.

Overall Experience

Now we are able to see my uncle inside the Red House, we are always happy with the service he gets. The activities coordinator is always happy to converse with myself about what my uncle has been up to and if he requires anything. The whole of the staff are always keeping me informed of any changes

to my uncle's condition, which I'm very grateful for, and he is well looked after.
The standard of care is excellent.

Review from Alexa M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Since my mother became a resident at the Red House Nursing Home she has received the best care imaginable delivered with a smile and much kindness.
The staff, must be commended for their empathy and tolerance, thus giving relatives the reassurance that it is a happy environment for all concerned.
The

food always looks good and the rooms are spotless as is my mother who is bedridden but bathed and changed every day. Hairdressing and a chiropodist can be arranged and there are trips out for those who are able and indoor activities on offer, for instance, in early November there was a marvellous firework display plus mulled wine and nibbles for both residents and families.
Overall I would not hesitate to recommend the Red House.
