Review from Julie P (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum was a full-time nursing resident since her discharge from hospital earlier this year, I have to say I have been in many nursing homes over the years working for the NHS myself - the care dignity and respect given by all the staff was fantastic - very homely, very caring, very clean and excellent nutritional food, unfortunately my mum was suffering from a long term illness and sadly passed away most recently, her needs and ours were met to the very end and we wouldn't have chosen any other home or care system. Thank you to all the staff for everything you did for my mum, you have been outstanding at such a very sad time for my family.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Richmond House Care Home

Dear Julie, We are pleased to hear you were very happy with the quality of care your mum received at Richmond House Care Home and we will ensure your kind words are shared with the team. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our home at this difficult time, please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Review from P W (Respite Resident) published on 25 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I only stayed a couple of weeks. The room was clean but the bed wasn't comfortable. The food was poor the first week but improved in the second week. Physio worked hard with me and were always pleasant which could not be said for some of the other carers. I didn't use facilities or pay so cannot rate them.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Richmond House Care Home

Overall Experience
They brought me into Richmond House from hospital for rehabilitation after tip surgery. I'm from another country, I don't speak English very well.
But despite these difficulties, all the employees were very attentive to me.

Many thanks to this great home for their skills with which you supported me. Thank you so so much.

Review from Paula W (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
If you're considering a care home for yourself or a loved one then you need not search anymore. The staff are outstanding at Richmond House, they're compassionate, caring and supportive. They will do everything they can to make your stay a pleasant experience. They are an inclusive care home, everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
The rehabilitation program is second to none, with regular visits from the physio team and other medical professionals to ensure your stay is comfortable.

We have had an experience with a very poor care home in the past so please trust me when I say Richmond House are the best! If I were to need a care home for myself in the future I'd be staying with them, I'd be going nowhere else.

Review from Dawn R (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My dad was looked after at the end of his life, and the whole team at Richmond House were amazing, kind, compassionate, highly professional and always willing to spare time out of their busy schedules to support and assist my family and me, in addition to my dad. The facilities are good - single rooms of a decent size, each with a private ensuite, nice eating and kitchenette areas on each floor, and excellent food in terms of both quality and variety. But is it essentially the team of people at all levels that makes this place so special.

Always a lovely and friendly welcome from the staff, who work extremely hard. The physio is marvellous enabling my husband to walk a short distance after three sessions. The teamwork is definitely shown and I would wholeheartedly recommend Richmond House Care Home without hesitation.

Review from E S (Wife of Resident) published on 17 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband was admitted for a period of rehab following discharge from hospital. Unfortunately whilst in hospital, he contracted covid, and as a result of which because of a number of underlying health issues, he didn't seem to pick up and was reluctant to cooperate with the physios. In addition following covid he found it difficult to swallow, and as a result, couldn't eat or drink normally. The staff went out of their way to try to get him to eat and drink, but as time went on he gradually went downhill. As a consequence, he was admitted to hospital on the 27th of July where he died the following morning. I cannot praise the staff at the home enough for the way they looked after him under what on some days were difficult circumstances.

My husband was a resident for two weeks after a stay of six weeks in hospital. He was very well looked after. The staff were patient and caring and nothing was too much trouble. He needed a lot of personal care and he was treated with dignity. He had physio to help with mobility.
