A very caring facility for my father-in-law. He has settled in well and cannot fault the care he has been given. The staff are all so very kind and caring and treat him with the utmost respect. A lovely home for him to be in.

I was welcomed warmly on my first visit to the care home. I was visiting a friend and shown to where he was straight away. The home was very clean, and I observed the attention being paid to the residents in a caring manner. My friend wished to go to his room as I left, and I told one of the staff. Someone came within a few minutes to wheel him to his room. Ellie, carer, came to talk to us brightly during my visit and asked how I knew David. This enabled him to tell her how we became friends, and she showed genuine interest with a lovely smile. David was quite animated as he talked to her.

I have been many times to this home and have always found the staff polite, courteous and kind. I especially appreciated the attention to small but important details today. The staff - patient was very high today - so that no one was rushed. I would have no hesitation to recommend The Red House or allowing anyone close to me to be moved to here. I have had experience of many care homes. Well done everyone!

The Red House continues to create a wonderful family atmosphere which is so important for residents and relatives alike to know its a real home for their loved one. The day to day care is exemplary and my wife is completely settled and happy. The management have installed a culture where all the staff whatever their specific role get to know the residents and relatives and I think this is a major strength of the home and helps make it so well respected locally.

A family member was in the care of Red House for just over a year. In their care she flourished and we saw moments of her younger self come back to life as she settled into the home and their care. She gained weight, became engaged, and was well cared for. Sadly she passed away recently and the care and compassion the whole team showed was wonderful. They are the most amazing care home, all the staff are just fantastic. Highly recommended.

Red House staff continues to provide kind and thoughtful care to my frail mother. Last March, they helped us to celebrate her 90th birthday with a specially baked cake containing mum's favourite eclairs.

Dad seems to me to be settled and satisfied with the care he is receiving in The Red House. I think he would like to be taken out more often, if only to local amenities. I believe that the communications to relatives could be improved. I also request that Dad be notified when I am due to visit, but I'm not convinced he always knows that I am visiting. On the whole, he is being well looked after, and he seems happy with his care.
