Redwell Hills Care Home

My partner who is dear to me and who I cared for, for over 20 years was taken into your care in July 2025 and you have treated her with respect and kindness, for which I am very grateful. Thank you very much to the management and staff.

Recently visited my friend, whom I haven't seen in a while, and the first time I visited the home. The home was clean, the staff were very welcoming, and I was pleased to see how well he is doing. He was full of compliments towards the staff and said how happy he was to be there, which is reassuring. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a care home for their loved ones. Thank you to you all.

It was a wonderful afternoon with flowers, balloons and banners. The cake and cards gave her much pleasure. Thank you for getting her ready and making her look lovely.

We visited a dear friend who was celebrating her 103rd birthday the next day. Her new room was first class with two different views of the garden. The staff were most welcoming especially the manager who kindly showed us the music room and it's access to the delightful spring garden with interesting displays and garden ornaments. We were very comfortable in the lounge and able to talk and entertain our V.I.P. Even though staff were busy, they made time for us and were polite and helpful.

She is 102 (103 in March) and is very content with everything that the staff do for her.

Visited a friend I had not seen in a while, and it was very refreshing to see the progress they had made since transferring to the home. Can clearly see they are very well cared for, nothing is too much to ask for staff are very accommodating and friendly. The food looked delicious, management were very approachable and took the time to listen.

My brother moved into the care home in December 2024. I was very anxious about the move as this was very different from what my brother was used to. I need not have worried, the care is excellent and the staff go above and beyond to ensure that every resident is happy and well cared for. There are different social events and my brother has even been baking with the staff. I could not have imagined that anything like this would be possible and am delighted. The manager always greets you with a smile and will listen and answer any questions you might have. The staff engages with the residents very well and have already come to know my brother's likes and dislikes. He has settled well and now calls Redwell Hills his home. I will be eternally grateful to everyone who has made this move a good experience for my brother and myself. Thank you.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I'm a nurse myself and I'd be proud to work with their team. My mam is well looked after and the staff has built good relationships with her. Nothing is a chore, and everyone is accommodating.

I've just visited an old friend in Redwell Care Home. What a lovely inviting home it is. The staff were lovely and even the manager came to speak to me. It is very well kept and they all seem happy in there and the staff were all so chatty. The rooms were lovely and well-maintained. Overall really nice.

The care home is bright and cheerful and they have a lovely walled garden which all residents can enjoy and they have rabbits in their garden lovely home, beautiful views.

When showing up unannounced and in urgent need my partner and I were given a thorough tour of Redwell Hills with helpful advice from the assistant manager. My mam was moved into the dementia unit at short notice with support from all staff. My mam has been at Redwell Hills for 6 weeks now and has settled in better than we expected. Food is good and care staff are excellent doing a really demanding job. Her room is basic but always kept clean and tidy as is the rest of the home. There is a nicely kept secure garden to the rear with seating areas and even pet rabbits. All of the care home is kept secure at all times.

My wife has Alzheimer's and has been in Redwell Hills for over a year. In the last few weeks her behaviour has been angry and aggressive. The staff in the home have been exceptional in these circumstances and due to their efforts my wife's medication has been changed and she is now on an even keel. I cannot thank them enough.

Extremely hard working staff. The administrator is quite often the first person you see when you arrive through the secure entry, and she is very nice and helpful. Someone you see the manager who is also very nice and helpful. My father is there for a 'time-to-think' and by all accounts requires a lot of support and care. This is probably the best place for him. All the staff are very friendly and cheery. My favourite staff must be the two bunny rabbits! The grounds person/maintenance person is there most days, and you can tell how much pride there is in a job well done. Nice open spaces, lovely gardens. Easy access via road, or on foot if you fancy a decent walk from Consett. Despite not having air con, on top of that hill, it is never hot and stuffy. To all the staff there - thank-you.

Moved mother here from another care home as she wouldn’t come out of her room so became very isolated and depressed. At Redwell Hills, the staff are caring and friendly, it’s a nice environment, nice food, staff are always there to listen to families too.

The carers were superb, really putting the well-being of the residents first I am reassured my dad is in a stimulating and nurturing environment.

My mam is cared for very well. She is starting to put weight on due to the excellent meals and snacks on offer. This is good for my mam as she had lost a lot of weight prior to admission to Redwell Hills. She has a lovely room with en-suite facilities which is always clean and fresh. Bonus is the day trips my mam has been on since being a resident. My mam is not an easy person to please but I am reassured that she is safe and that the staff do care.

I could not fault the care my mother receives from the staff. She is always well cared for and love and attention given to her which very reassuring and encouraging for her. The home is very well managed and any issues, which are minimal, are addressed and acted upon promptly. She has settled well and this along with the excellent care is a great source of comfort to me. Knowing she is valued and respected and interacted with is fantastic. All in all a super home. Couldn’t fault it. The staff are so friendly and helpful and as well as looking forward to seeing my mother I enjoy the friendship which is shown to me when I visit.

All good.

The most important thing is that my mam is well cared for and well looked after which she is here. All of the staff are lovely and helpful, including the management team. Nothing ever seems too much trouble.

Downside is, some of the night agency staff are not very helpful.
