Hairdressing, chiropody, newspapers and other personal items are an additional cost. However, we are conscious of the usual disparity of cost of care of private and Council funded at most care homes. Our solution has been to bring down the cost to private clients and ask families for Council funded clients to assist with care costs which allows is to run a profitable care home whilst maintaining high standards and high staffing levels.

These prices are only a guideline, please contact Red Court Care Community to find out the exact price for your requirements.

Review from F M (Son of Resident) published on 21 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident for two months after being in hospital. The difference in her in these two months is immense. The care and compassion that she received was brilliant. She was able to bring in personal items and make her room more familiar. Every door is a different colour which makes it seem less
like a care home. Unfortunately the garden wasn't open for residents to use which would have been really good. She was very well looked after and slowly began to interact more which meant that she was able to go to the dining room for food and also to the activity room which has different activities on weekday mornings. She has made friends and even though she cannot wait to go back home she will miss the camaraderie of the staff and the residents. The staff are the backbone of the home and even in times of stress and heavy workloads there was always help and kindness.

Management and staff have all been supportive, caring and professional at all times. The staff show care and compassion when attending to residents. As a family, we are made to feel very welcome when we come to visit. We are also kept informed of any changes.


We like that each door is painted like

an actual front door, younger members of the family identify them as their loved ones' personal home. It's also lovely that there are display boxes outside each resident's room to fill with items I.e photos, pictures, poems etc. Residents are encouraged to bring items to personalise their room to help make it feel more homely.


The Home and resident's rooms are decorated to a good standard. Everywhere is clean and tidy but it also has a lovely air about it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my dad first went to the care home I wasn't confident that all his needs would be met.
Quite a bumpy start, missing glasses and hearing aids, we couldn't all visit due to COVID, then he fell and broke his hip, very distressing for our family.
Since his return to the Red Court - wow - I have
witnessed them all give 100%, Dad looks very content, he smiles and waves at the staff.
To leave Dad after a visit knowing he is part of the Red Court family and is being looked after is priceless.
The staff are very approachable and work so hard.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My grandad first started accessing respite in Red Court following a deterioration in his dementia. I can't lie and say things went smoothly to start with. We had a little bump in the road. However, with the compassion and dedication of the manager, we worked together to give him the best experience
in their care. They continuously keep the family up to date and involved and since being with them he has never looked so well. He is eating well and gaining weight. He is also encouraged to socialise with others. I feel completely content at the fact my grandad is in Red Court.
Reply from Roger Daniel, Director at Red Court Care Community

Thank you for submitting your review. I am pleased to read that the manager has reacted proactively to ensuring your granddad has settled in so well at Red Court. It is an incredibly difficult decision to move into a care home and there are invariably bumps along the road. However, with time and dedication from the staff, and support from the family, the outcome is almost always a very positive experience.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with my dad's care so far. He has only been a resident since February but it is clear he is being looked after very well. The manager and deputy managers are supportive, friendly and professional. The carers are lovely and work very hard during difficult times. Any needs or requests
we have asked for have been met. I feel dad is in a safe, warm and caring environment and I am reassured he is looked after well. I must mention the nurses, cooks, cleaners, laundry and activities staff. They all do an amazing job. Credit where credit is due. This is the best home any of my family has been in, by far the cleanest and by far the best care. Thank you Red Court Care Community.

Management and staff are friendly and approachable. My mum is suffering from dementia and is unable to tell me how she is being cared for or have any personal views on her likes and dislikes. She seems however to be happy and content. The home gets the residents involved in special days celebrating
such things as the Olympics and Burns Night. They keep e informed with a monthly newsletter.

We are very impressed with Red Court and all of the staff. They are very caring compared to a previous care home. The home is very clean and well maintained. It's situated in a good area where I am sure everyone feels at 'home'. Newsletters are regular and give residents' families an understanding of
what goes on, activities etc. Mom seems very happy in Red Court. Unlike her previous home where she constantly complained about her treatment. This in itself gives us great peace of mind. Thank you Red Court. So grateful.

I can say that I've not actually had a tour of the home due to Covid-19 restrictions, as far as I can tell from what I've seen so far it is good and also heard good reports. Obviously, I cannot give ratings for all categories only those I've seen, but I'm sure that, or hope that, all is in order. I
say that fingers crossed, I dare say that the staff must go through some difficult times with the residents and I feel for them.

Both of my parents are in Red Court. My dad has never looked so well. He is eating properly and taking his medication properly. He enjoys chatting with staff. My mum has dementia unfortunately and it is progressing quickly, the staff are very caring and hardworking. Unfortunately, they do not have the
time my mum needs as they are short staffed. She is hopefully soon going to be moved to the dementia wing which will be better suited for her needs. The staff are friendly and approachable and always do their best to fit me in for visits. The manager is also friendly and approachable and seems to run the home well. Overall, I am impressed with the care my parents are receiving and hope the recruitment drive currently in operation will be a success. The carers that I have come across on the whole do their best. Also, the housekeeping staff and kitchen staff should get a mention as the home always looks clean and the food given looks and smells amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Red Court Care Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.783 for Red Court Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.783
  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 Red Court Care Community is based on 20 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 20 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.

As the General Manager at Red Court, I bring over 10 years of experience in the public and social care sector. I believe in leading by example - staying hands-on, approachable, and committed to creating a calm and supportive environment for everyone in our home.


What matters most to me is making a genuine difference in people’s lives. I am passionate about delivering high-quality, holistic care that places each resident’s well-being at the centre of everything we do. Through a proactive, person-centred approach, I support my team in providing compassionate and empowering care, fostering an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and part of a warm, welcoming community.


I deeply value the relationships I build with residents, their families, and my colleagues. I continually seek ways to enhance our care and contribute to an inclusive community. Together, we can ensure that Red Court remains a place where everyone feels valued and cared for.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Since starting my career with the Red Homes group as a bank care assistant, I have progressed by embracing a variety of diverse roles, including senior carer, unit leader, and deputy manager.


As well as experience, I have achieved level 3 and level 5 qualifications in Health and Social Care – helping me to provide the expert care our residents truly deserve. One of the proudest moments of my career was to oversee a successful Care Quality Commission inspection of our 47-bedded residential home, which resulted in a ‘Good Rating’ of our home.


I always treat our residents with the same level of respect, compassion and care that I would expect for my loved ones, and continue to embody and share these values and ethos with my team.
