Redleif Care - Somerset

Redleif Care home provided a safe and caring home for my aunt in the last year of her life. She was treated with respect and dignity, and it was a really homely environment. The food and surroundings were excellent. I can't speak highly enough of how well she was cared for.

She made friends and it so lovely to see her thrive.

Redleif House is a relatively small Care Home, meaning that each resident is known well to every member of staff, treated as an individual with respect and cared for 24/7 with compassion and love. Staff are very carefully chosen, feel valued - and obviously enjoy working there. A choice of nutritious food is offered daily - from casseroles and roasts to sandwiches, quiches, soup, and more! Residents can choose to take part in activities or remain quietly in their own room (with en-suite). Comfortable, clean surroundings everywhere. Families and friends are always welcomed - and if at a distance, kept well informed. My mother-in-law was extremely well cared for in the latter stages of her life. If, when the time comes, I manage to find care for myself similar to the standards of Redleif - I would be extremely lucky. Redleif really does set the standard and I cannot recommend Redleif Care highly enough.

There are not enough words to truly describe the kindness, thought, care and patience that is second nature to the team at Redleif House. My mother lived at Redleif for the last 3 years of her life. She died in their care - surrounded by compassion, love and kindness. And the support for me throughout was amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend Redleif when you find yourself in a very difficult and stressful situation of considering an alternative for a family member who is no longer able to live independently.

My mother was a resident for 2 months respite and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. She has advanced Alzheimer's, but the staff were excellent and she settled very quickly. When we visited staff were always friendly and helpful. Good meals and surroundings. Highly recommended.

I feel completely at ease with the care and attention she is receiving and although she hasn't been in residence long as yet she is very satisfied with her care.

If we were now offered much more support(2 people 4timrs a day a one at night) for no cost to us we would have had to consider how best we could look after my wife. We could not afford the cost covering the hours we now have.

We made a visit to Redleif and had to inconvenience them by having meetings with DWP and social services due to us living some distance away. They couldn't have been more accommodating and their hospitality was fantastic. Mum has always been fiercely independent and resisted going into a home for so long and we agreed that we would support her to stay in her own home for as long as possible. Redleif is a fantastic home, and Mum's room is great. The whole set up provides the residents with a 'home from home' experience. Thank you for providing such care and support for mum, she now thinks of it as her home which is a great relief to us and testament to the fantastic job you are doing.

Excellent and professional care, no request is too difficult. Redleif carers are very kind and patently help Mum navigate her way through her changing dementia- which is not without its challenges. All carers from Redlief work alongside microcarers who have been in place for a while, and are very sensitive to the fact that they are independent carers. The head of home care and her colleagues do all they can to work well within this existing team.

Redleif are very keen to help and have done everything they can to ensure all needs are met.

Thank you - you really are exceptional.

Keeping a notebook of Mum's daily care helps to keep each carer aware of Mum's needs.

I do not have the words or the talent to fully express how amazing these people are. They truly put ‘care’ into care homes. My mother’s dementia became increasingly problematic for me to manage, to the point where I had to make the heartbreaking decision to find somewhere safe for her. Thankfully Redlief Care had just opened and were happy to take my mother, and importantly, her little dog Ivy. They cared for Mum better than I had ever managed to, despite my best efforts - and were literally holding her hand until the very end. If you are looking for someone important to you to be tended to by gentle, sincere, kind and big-hearted people - look no further. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Redlief Care.

Carers are always interested in my day if I need further help and my needs. Congratulations Redleif.

All the carers are fabulous, they really do care for my dad and are very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. They are much more reliable than my previous experience so I would certainly recommend them.

If there's a problem with the time they should arrive they always phone to explain why and when they will be with me. I can't speak more highly of the team for my care.

Not only do they do all this, once a week my client has a companionship visit to take her out and about which is so beneficial. She is escorted to places of her choice and well looked after.

Respite care at Redleif enabled our mother to feel secure in their care and really helped in her post-hospital recovery. We could not have asked for more.

Following a couple of recent hospital stays, my mother spent several weeks at Redleif House for respite. During this time, she found all staff to be calm, caring, reassuring, respectful and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the Redleif staff. As a family, we felt secure in the fact that she was extremely well looked after and would highly recommend Redleif House to anyone seeking care.

Redleif were carers for my husband and when he died 3 years ago they undertook my care. I have a very good relationship with all carers and highly recommend them.
