My mother came to your home after neglect from other homes.
She is now the happiest and healthiest I've seen her for years (thank you).
Please keep up the good work.

As I told sister, the carers deserve a medal for the dedication, patience, understanding of the patient's needs. My husband can't praise them enough. When he is down they jolly him along, encourage him to do his exercises and care for him. I have great admiration for all the carers.

Review from C P (Husband of Resident) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife, who has advanced Alzheimer's disease, has been a resident for 6 months. The care she received is excellent. The staff are capable, well trained and very friendly. Her needs are very basic as she is doubly incontinent. The nursing care, when required, is excellent and would be difficult to better.


NB

I cannot comment on value for money as her care costs are, at present, paid for by the NHS.

My father is unable to communicate due to his dementia, however, it is clear from his calm state and smile that he is in good care. He sings and jokes so whilst he may not be as coherent as before, he shows he's still happy.

The nursing home is well presented. The staff are polite, welcoming and friendly. The residents are treated with caring, kindness, with respect and are spoken to with courtesy.
The staff endeavour to involve the residents in various activities.
Medical care is of a very high standard, nurses are alert
to any health problems that arise.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the third home my mother has stayed in and is by far the best. The decor and the building are a bit dated and tired. That being said, every time I visit my mother she is happy, calm and contented. She also looks well cared for, clean and tidy. The staff are polite, well mannered and caring.
I would happily recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, secure, kind residence for a loved one.

Staff are very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The food according to my relative is also very good. The bedroom he has is very light and airy. I think the staff work very hard to make the atmosphere as homely for the residents as much as possible.

Both the nursing and care staff at Julie Richardson are first rate. They all treat my father with the dignity that is so important. The nurses are skilled, kind and attentive. They are responsive to my father's needs and promptly address any concerns our family may have. The care staff treat my father
as a loved family member and provide excellent personal care, exercise, entertainment and food. I am pleased to say my father is as content and comfortable as possible thanks to all the people caring for him and their mix of good humour and expertise.

Staff are excellent and very attentive to my father-in-law. I feel everyone goes out of their way to assist or help in any way needed. Meals look good for the few times I have been here at mealtime. I do, however, feel his room is tired and would benefit from some different flooring other than carpet.
Otherwise, so far so good.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for The Julie Richardson Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.747 for The Julie Richardson Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 158 Ratings = 4.747
  2. 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 The Julie Richardson Nursing Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
