I cannot express how shockingly awful this care home is! Whenever I saw mum she was sitting all alone in her room, as were all of the residents. There was no encouragement to sit in the communal sitting room. We moved our mum to Redesdale because they advertised activities every morning and afternoon from Monday to Friday: this was pure fabrication. They never did any activities and, when we asked the staff, they had no idea what we were talking about. Looking back, we realise that there could never have been any activities because they didn't have a functioning lift for 18 months! So they could not possibly have taken all of the residents downstairs on the one stair lift. Mum developed a bed sore in early June and the staff at Redesdale refused to turn her every 2 hours, despite this being recommended, and didn't buy the appropriate mattress. One of the causes of her death was that bed sore. Be very careful - of all the care homes I have seen this is the worst.

My mum and my brother and sister were all concerned about him moving into Redesdale Court but the team here made him feel really welcome. My dad has settled into the home really well and especially enjoyed the excellent food. Thank you for all the care and attention.

I could not have wished for a better care home for my Mum when it became impossible for her to continue living independently. The staff are lovely and do their utmost to make the residents feel happy and 'at home'. The residents are encouraged to participate in the wide variety of activities offered. I am happy knowing my Mum is safe and well cared for.

The staff tend to my mother's needs very well. The room is kept very clean and the linen is changed regularly. However, sometimes I do find dropped medication on the floor which is worrying. She does appreciate the entertainment which makes her day.

Redesdale Court was Mam's home for 3 and a half years and my family and I will forever be grateful for this wonderful care she received. Her end-of-life care was compassionate and truly caring. The whole team are amazing people. We could not have picked a better place for our mam to call home.

Redesdale Court was my beloved mothers's home from August 2020 until February 2024, and my family and I never had reason to doubt our choice of home for her. The standard of care was exemplary from day one. They are a true team of carers - management, carers, catering, housekeeping, everyone, they are all kind, caring and empathetic people. They were always open and honest with us, and we would recommend Redesdale Court without hesitation.

My mother-in-law came into Redesdale Court after a short stay in hospital after several falls at home. After a short period of unsettled behaviour, she has changed completely and after lots of care and attention from all the staff, she has settled in really well. She enjoys all the meals and is just starting to mix. The encouragement from staff is amazing.

I was delighted to get my mum into Redesdale Court for supportive care. Unfortunately Mum died after only 8 weeks. I cannot praise the home enough for their care and support during that time. All of the staff were extremely kind and caring. The home itself was tastefully decorated, very pleasant and kept spotlessly clean.

Redesdale Court staff are generally very good although the turnover and need for agency staff sometimes compromise this (eg. no activity coordinator for months). Although when you visit sometimes there are big groups of staff smoking outside and limited staff on the section. Food always looks good and the facilities tidy and well tended to. My mam was always clean and well-presented and was treated with respect. Management on the other hand seem to struggle with roughly 50% of relative meetings cancelled over the last year and communication with families spasmodic. COVID communications were awful with families turning up for visits and being turned away as COVID communications were generally tardy. Another example of this was I brought up an issue of clothes tags falling off resulting in clothes going missing, I bought this up 3 or 4 times but to no avail and with no response. I feel this care home is good but in my opinion not outstanding as the rating would suggest.
