Overall Experience

Following a visit I was very impressed on how involved my Grandma was with the activities and how she was helped to interact. It was also good to hear that she had been out to the Legion Club to meet friends and play bingo. Really happy with the care provided at Redbrick House. 10/10. Thank you! :)

Review from Edna C (Friend of Resident) published on 11 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

During a year of visiting a resident I feel settled knowing that they are well cared for and safe 24/7. Residents have dignity at all times and have care from the staff which is carried out in a lovely manner. Every member of staff I've spoken with has confirmed to me Red Brick is a safe and caring home.

Overall Experience

Mam and Dad have both been in this care home. Both had excellent care but in my opinion, my dad received the best care. He has recently passed away and I was so impressed by the staff, particularly in his last two weeks - his end-of-life care was exceptional. Staff were so attentive and caring.

Review from Joanne H (Niece of Resident) published on 8 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Anne, my auntie, has been living at Red Brick since September. She has settled well, which is a huge relief. The staff are kind, there's always a warm atmosphere when I visit. Anne is very deaf so I hoped her whiteboard would be used through the day but often I arrived and have to ask for it to be found - so I doubt Anne is being communicated with as much as she could.

Thank you for your review your feedback will be shared with our team so we can enhancing your auntie's stay at Red Brick House.

Review from Mark R (Son of Resident) published on 2 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Visited mother on mothering sunday and as always greeted with a warm welcome by care team members. Mother was in her room watching TV with a fresh cup of coffee. Care team acknowledged my arrival and made a point of entering room to make a fuss about mothers flowers. Mother was relaxed, comfortable in what is always a warm clean and friendly environment. Made a point of speaking to senior carer before departing and find their manner of articulating mothers well-being reassuring. Confident mother is treated as an individual with dignity, respect in a caring and friendly environment.

Overall Experience

All the staff are first class in providing an excellent care service for my father who has late stage dementia. I have always been impressed by their devotion and patience often in difficult situations to make him as comfortable as possible. Knowing how well he is being cared for has been very reassuring to the family.

I found all the staff very caring and very helpful at all times. I have no worries and will certainly use Red Brick House again in the next 2/3 months. All the staff treated me with respect which made me feel confident my husband was being cared for in a very safe caring environment.

Review from Claire H (Wife of Resident) published on 2 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The office staff were excellent in their communication with me regarding a respite room for my husband. They could not have been more helpful.The care staff were very friendly and welcoming. My husband enjoyed his meals especially teatime, as if it seemed as if there was a treat everyday. Visitors were welcomed and thought that my husband was well cared for. He prefers being at home but did not find his stay upsetting and returned home on good form.
