Enter and view: Ranelagh House

Healthwatch Liverpool undertook an announced enter and view visit to Ranelagh House care home on 7 July 2025.  They spoke to 10 people.

Overall Healthwatch found Ranelagh care home to be care home that was clean without unpleasant smells.  Healthwatch liked the work that had gone into personalising residents’ bedrooms; they were all clearly individually tailored towards the person living there. Staff had clearly put effort into the areas they could personally make the most difference to. 

Ranelagh house is located in a series of interconnected buildings presenting challenges such as narrow corridors that cannot be helped. Healthwatch noticed that many of the communal areas were in need of redecorating. The dining room looked good aside from the flooring recently been redecorated. Healthwatch expressed a hope that other communal areas of the home will be redecorated to the same standard. Having pictures and photos back up in the corridors as planned by the manager will add to the homely feel.

Residents Healthwatch spoke to mostly told us positive things about living at Ranelagh House. There were a few things mentioned by residents that should be easy to remedy such as more access to food menus.
