Overall Experience

Visiting twice in May 2025.Reception received us with courtesy and we were conducted by lift to the day room.There were several residents in the day room.All were fully dressed and seated.There were house staff
around,and we were offered tea.Arrangements were made for us to sit beside our relative.Our

relative was alert and seemed very settled.We did pick our time to avoid mealtimes.The general atmosphere was helpful
and we were impressed by the organisation of several residents in the day room.Our relative was a only
a short time resident,hence some items below are difficult to assess.

Overall Experience

My husband was a resident at Redmount for 4.5 months during which time I visited him nearly every day. I found the staff to be very kind, caring and attentive.
For the last six months of my husbands life he was confined to his bed and they looked after his every need.
I also found them very kind

and understanding towards me.

Reply from Scott Davies, Registered Manager at Redmount Residential Home

Thank you for this review, it was a pleasure looking after your dear husband and we miss him a lot. We also loved seeing you & Pickle most days. If you are ever around and want to pop In please do so, it would be lovely to see you.

Overall Experience

My mum stayed at Redmount for 3 months following stroke and heart attack. I visited 4 hours daily to support recovery so witnessed many of care home's practices. Poor food quality, someone worked hard to suit needs but before complaining mum was often served spaghetti hoops and oily potato waffles.

Mum's rehabilitation needs frequently not met, staff not briefed on positioning and equipment use. Approx 30 mins wait for call bell response and staff often hard to find. Found mum's medication on bed or floor, implying staff weren't always ensuring she'd taken it. Found mum in underwear on chair, end of her bed or more frequently out of reach of her call bell, she is immobile and non-verbal so this is so dangerous and unacceptable. Care staff are supportive but from our experience there are either too many residents or not enough staff. Wide disparity across staff's care abilities and training. Home isn't well managed/led. Wouldn't recommend particularly for residents with high needs.

Reply from Scott Davies, Registered Manager at Redmount Residential Home

Thank you for your review of Redmount Residential Home, we welcome all feedback positive or negative as it helps us improve the service we provide. I am sorry that on this occasion you feel we did not meet our usual high standards evidenced in our other reviews and CQC report. Me and my team tried everything possible to make your Mum's experience a positive one within the scope of a care home environment, however we were not able to meet your expectations. I take all your comments on board and I am sorry you feel you couldn't raise these concerns during your Mum's short stay with us, but if you do wish to discuss any of your concerns in more detail please do not hesitate to contact me and we can arrange a suitable time to discuss them.

My Mum stayed for over 3weeks of respite care following a stroke. Management and all of the staff at Redmount were extremely kind and dedicated. I also found them all very approachable, it was easy to discuss any issue I was concerned about regarding Mum. Mum was very happy and well looked after and

was sad to leave. She particularly enjoyed the live music afternoons.
Many thanks from Mum and me.

Overall Experience

My grandfather has been at Redmount for over six months now, the staff are not only attentive but I see a genuine interest and care for the well-being of all residents. They are warm, they are patient and they are encouraging in every action and task no matter how unpleasant at times.
I love the fact

that I can see all the activities that happen at the home - there is something for all, it's great that the routines they install keeps the residents stimulated and entertained.
Whilst I hate the fact that my grandad is no longer able to look after himself, he is definitely in the next best place available and I am so grateful to the staff for their ongoing care and support. Well done and thank you team Redmount.

Reply from Scott Davies, Registered Manager at Redmount Residential Home

We will always do our very best to look after your Grandfather. Our whole staff team works very hard to ensure people feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings, and it is a huge boost to read your heartfelt review and also to receive full marks. Thank you.

A pleasant home with excellent staff and management. Immaculately clean with a good outside area. Visiting is encouraged at all suitable times as is discussion with the manager and staff. Very good feedback My father was moved into Redmount directly from the hospital and we hope he will be able to remain

there as his home from now on. Parking is difficult due to lack of space. Not rated activities and as of yet not discussed finances. Overall excellent!

Overall Experience

Dad initially went to Redmount for respite care but stayed until he passed away. I have nothing but admiration and praise for every single member of staff, from handyman to manager. They all knew me by name and were always willing to answer questions. They treated Dad as they would their own family.

The kitchen and domestic staff are all excellent, too, knowing all the resident's individual likes/dislikes. The manager is running an excellent care facility.

Reply from Sue Winterburn, Home manager at Redmount Residential Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review, and thank you for allowing us the time we had with him. It was an absolute honour to have your dad stay with us until he passed away; the whole team miss him every day. His humour and character will never be forgotten.

Overall Experience

I cannot speak kindly enough about the care and kindness of the staff. However the home does sometimes appear to be understaffed. The food is good and they always accommodate fussy eaters. Everyone worked hard to make life as easy and comfortable as possible despite the difficulties of working in a

building which is not purpose built as a care home.

Reply from Sue Winterburn, Home manager at Redmount Residential Home

Thank you so much for your review, the staff work so hard to ensure that our residents are receiving the best care possible. Looking after your mum is an absolute pleasure and makes our jobs so much easier. Sometimes it may seem that we are understaffed because we try to give residents space with their families when they visit, if ever you need to speak to a member of the team please ring the call bell in your mum's room and someone will be with you in minutes. You can also always speak to me whenever you want to do so. Thank you for all your support, and thanks also to the Salvation Army musicians who bring so much joy for residents and staff alike that you organise regularly at Redmount it is truly appreciated.
