Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been in this care home over 5 years and she is really settled. She gets on really well with the carers and they respond to her very well as she sleeps a lot and misses meals, so she is fed as and when she needs it.

Review from Vicki T (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was cared for at Redwell Hills from February 2018 until his death in January 2019. The care he received was outstanding and we cannot express the depth of gratitude we feel to all members of staff for the understanding, respect, kindness and compassion they consistently showed to Dad. From
the moment we first entered Redwell Hills, we felt welcomed and at home - there is a wonderful sense of warmth about the atmosphere and the home is kept immaculately clean. Most of all, we cannot praise highly enough the quality of the care Dad received during his final days - the staff treated him like he was their own father and, at the same time, showed the greatest kindness and compassion to us. We would recommend Redwell Hills without reservation.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is our first experience with a care home but from the first day, we were made welcome and out mother would be given the best care and this has proved to be the case.
The staff are always cheerful and helpful despite being extremely busy. The nurses are very efficient and always have time to explain
any issues with us, they are very quick to bring in professional help when needed. Redwell Hills provides residents with a pleasant environment and we have spent time in the attractive garden area together.

Lovely home, tiny room for respite when struggling with mobility. Care excellent, food best I've had! Upstairs kitchen cupboards very dirty, residents put hands in the biscuit tin.

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.
