Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Thank you Redwell Hills for the lovely birthday party you gave my mother in March.
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.

My Sister and I have nothing but praise for the Staff of Redwell Hills Care Home.
They are always cheerful and willing to help with any problems we may have had.
My Mother has been a resident since July 2024 and they made her feel welcome from day one and continue to look after her really well.
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

I have found the care for my mum outstanding. She is always treated with respect and all the staff are lovely. She enjoys joining in with activities and socialising with other residents. The home has also recently been refurbished which gives it a clean environment. I would definitely recommend to others.

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.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

It is a very stressful time having to move a parent into a care home, but all of the staff at Redwell Hills have been so caring and supportive.
It has a really homely feeling, with pet rabbits even! And spaces both inside and outside to engage the residents. The garden is beautifully kept and such
a sunny haven. I had the privilege of accompanying my father on one of their regular visits out today. We had a fantastic day at the museum, visiting all of the attractions, including the funfair with superb fish and chips and ice cream to follow!
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.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Redwell Hills Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.605 for Redwell Hills Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.605
  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 Redwell Hills Care Home is based on 27 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
