Review from L A R (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Redbrick has proven to be an excellent choice of care facility for our mother. She was at another provider and went down hill quiet quickly. Once moving her to Redbrick, after an initial settling in period, she was encourage to join activities and started interacting with staff and other residents which is wonderful. The staff are interactive and supportive of her dementia needs. We find the home communicate well giving updates and reassurances which is a blessing at what can be difficult and upsetting times. Thank you for all your hard work.

Overall Experience

Dad has been at Red Brick for 2 months now and has really settled in. My dad absolutely loves his freedom and needs to go out everyday. This is not necessarily the norm for the residential home. However they could not have been kinder or more facilitating to his needs. Absolutely tremendous.

Review from S B (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Rely on staff to update us (family) on my mam's health and well-being as unfortunately she has dementia so is unable to tell us herself. Feel not always informed and notified.
My mam is not always treated with dignity in terms of her state of dress (often wearing t-short/top but not bra top)

Could be more communication with my mam by staff as can be dismissive and show lack of patience/care.

Review from D J (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
From Day one, I felt comfortable with my mother beng in the care of the lovely staff at Red Brick. Not an easy decision after caring for my mother for so long preciously.
But, the staff assured me and updated me and always pleasant, understanding and happy.

They are angels in disguise and should have more recognition for the very hard work they do. Thank you.

Review from V R (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 7 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father-in-law went into Red Brick House 3 weeks ago end of life. The staff have been exceptional in the care they provided. His room was clean comfortable and in an area where he could be observed towards the later days of his life. The staff kept us updated as he deteriorated. They were professional friendly and kind.

The staff were incredible. I honestly don't know how they do the job they do as there is so much sadness. They always had a smile for my wife and me, a kind action that helped me enormously.

The warmth and the understanding we all received from the staff were amazing and Mum's care was dealt with, with dignity and compassion. Thank you especially for taking such good care of my dad who would have been lost without you.

I can't speak too highly of the staff at Red Brick House - they have helped and supported my brother to settle in and have been fantastic in their care for him. I have also been made very welcome on my frequent visits to see him and so reassured that he is cared for in this way. Thank you so much.

My dad was moved to the Red Brick five weeks ago from the hospital on a temporary basis until a care package is put in place. In the meantime, the care home has fulfilled his needs, and the staff are very helpful.

Review from J M (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mam has been living in Red Brick for nearly six years. Could moment on the food and activities as its a closed door at meal times. No relatives in the dining room. I don't know what the food is like but when I asked what mam has eaten the choices sound very varied and nutritious. Man is nearing the end of her life and has little to no mobility, and no comprehension so can't participate in activities. Laundy is still the letdown. Shrinking and other people's clothes in mams drawers or she is wearing them.
