My father has only been in Redbond Lodge for almost three weeks but in that short time he is settling in really well. This is thanks to all the staff who have been so kind and caring in helping him. It is peace of mind for our family to know that he is being so well cared for and looked after. On
visiting, we are always made to feel very welcome. His personal care is excellent and he has a lovely room that is kept clean and tidy as are all other areas of home.

My uncle who is 94 and before he went to Redbond Lodge his days were spent in isolation with no stimulation. But since he has been in Redbond his days are filled with lots of activities and being taken out with other residents. The carers treat him with respect and dignity, I know he is safe, well
fed and kept clean, I visit unannounced and find the care is still 100%. His bedroom is really homely and I was able to put some family photos on display.

I chose Redbond Lodge seven years ago for my Father to move in. He was starting to suffer from Dementia at that time. Over the whole time of his stay the Redbond team have been exceptional. Despite his challenges they were able to keep my Father safe, well looked after, general cared for in all his
needs. The fact that whenever I visited the staff knew all about him, what he had been doing, what he had eaten and drank, without asking a colleague showed they were really interested in him. That is what we all want for our vulnerable relatives, care we can trust.

My partner was in Redbond Lodge Dunmow for nearly two years with dementia. During that time he had such good appropriate and caring attention. When I visited which was on a regular basis I was made to feel "one of the family" and enjoyed visits as such. All the staff worked so well together and
everybody was accessible to me at all times and I appeared to be no trouble to them. As he slowly deteriorated his extra needs were sensitively attended to and at his end such time care and attention was given to him and to me by all the staff and his surroundings were made so appropriate for our needs at the time. Time and help was also made available to me after he had died and this meant so much to me .

My 97 mum was in Rebond Lodge from January 2025 until September when she passed away. Mum had quite a few health challenges,
falls, broken bones and progressive dementia. Racquel, the care home manager was welcoming from day one and was always available to talk about mums constant changing needs
and responded positively to ensuring her care plan met with the new developments. The quality of care was very good and most did their upmost to make mum feel loved and cared for. The food was somewhat basic, but there was always plenty of meals, snacks and drinks during the day. The level of cleaning was always very good, in the rooms as well as around the general areas. The activities co-ordinator worked tirelessly too.
I would like to say how much I appreciate the level of care mum received in her final week, there was two amazing people with her when she passed away and they treated her with such kindness, dignity and respect. It was so reassuring for us as a family.

My mother has been a resident at Redbond Lodge for five months and I have been very impressed by the care, compassion and friendliness displayed to me, family, friends, and most importantly to my mother directly. The team are helpful, responsive and really do seem to care, and this is displayed in
the little touches and interactions with my mother that happen spontaneously. My mother needs full personal care and she always looks nice, with clean clothes and well groomed, and is encouraged to participate in the busy calendar of activities on offer - there is always something happening and the team often hold parties and group events to bring the residents together; look at Facebook! Someone is always on hand to help or answer questions which is reassuring when going through a big life change which can be emotional and stressful for everyone. Whenever I speak about Redbond Lodge I always get positive feedback from others and the home and team have a good reputation locally.

My wife who has dementia has recently become a resident in Redbond lodge, and I am impressed with the compassion, kindness and professionalism of all the staff, as well as the individualized care they provide. They have created a setting, that is accepting, and facilitating. Raquel, the
delightfully approachable manager has a wealth of experience and is always available to discuss any issues or concerns that I might have.

My mum had dementia and spent the last year of her life as a resident at Redbond Lodge. The home is large and busy and has a happy atmosphere and a full, varied activity programme with lots of outings. The staff were always caring and supportive. It's very well run and the manager is approachable
and easy to contact and I found all the staff efficient and helpful. Mum received end of life care there which was extremely good - empathetic, dignified and respectful. Everyone was so caring of her and of us as a family.

My brother and I visit unannounced weekly - the home is clean and well run - the staff always at hand. No distressing incidents. The manager is very open and helpful and clearly very competent at running a challenging home. Dad's new helper is an absolute angel. She has made such a positive impact
on Dad at this difficult stage - she deserves a medal. I can't think of a better place for the father we so love.
