Overall Experience

Mostly The Ridings is a good place to live. The carers are very friendly but sometimes I wish they had more time to help me with things. My room is lovely as I can sit and watch what is going on outside.

My partner spent a week in respite care and we both found the management and staff helpful, kind and attentive and would not hesitate to recommend Ferundune. Visiting relatives were always treated with kindness and hospitality.

Overall Experience

My experience of Ferendune Court during my wife's 15 month stay has always been excellent. The care and love shown to her by all the staff especially in her final weeks and days was exceptional. Looking after residents with dementia is challenging and I was impressed by the cheerful and supportive way

my wife was cared for. I could not have wished for a more peaceful environment for her.

Overall Experience

Mum, has now been in Ferendune Court care home for 13 months. My knowledge and experience of care homes was very limited prior to mum going in, so whilst I took a while to get used to the workings of the home mum settled in immediately. Given there are many individuals with different care needs in the

home, from my observations and dealings with many of the carers over the last 13 months they do a remarkable job of making residents feel special and in keeping them involved (There really are many activities ). The kindness, care and patience mum has received puts my mind at rest that her last years will be as good as they could be, so a big thank you to everybody involved at Ferendune.

Overall Experience

My father has dementia and has been struggling with mobility. My mother was his sole carer at home and his health declined very quickly. I have been so impressed with all the staff at Ferendune. Initial conversations about respite care were efficient and sensitive. When my father could no longer be

looked after at home all the assessments were completed and he went into care at a crucial moment. The thought and care I have seen on every visit, with every email has been amazing. I cannot thank the staff enough.

The Ridings
from Elaine A (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2025

Overall Experience

We were familiar with this Care Home for another relative, and so chose it for my parents based on previous experience. I feel that when I approached them again the manager was friendly, reassuring about the process, very helpful and very flexible about a start date for care ie in the New Year, so held

the rooms for me. On arrival, we were met and welcomed. A little left to our own devices perhaps, but maybe this helped with a no fuss, smooth transition. I have been proactive about seeking info, passing on info and general finding out about systems etc, but everyone I have sought help from has promptly responded. I had a query about my parents being encouraged to join in a bit more and feel this will be addressed. I have at this point great confidence in the three-way relationship I hope to develop with the home., myself and my parents. PS It's too early to comment on activities, and value for money with homes - this kind of care is just genuinely expensive, so not a criticism here!

My father hasn't been there long but so far all seems fantastic. His flat is lovely and has all that he needs, he is happy with the food and love that he is always offered a drink or snack. There always seem lots for them to do which is nice to see.

My mother is extremely well looked after at Ferendune Court Care Home. She has dementia. The staff are friendly and welcoming, many of whom are local and have been working at the home for many years. They make every effort to get to know my mother and provide the best care in a happy environment. We

are very happy with the home we have chosen.

Overall Experience

The Ridings is a lovely place for my sister to live. She has mental health issues which make it impossible for her to live on her own and the staff are wonderful at handling her, particularly when she gets stressed. It is a great relief for her family to have her so well cared for, and for her to have

her own flat, not just a room. Her main carer is amazing.

Overall Experience

What an extraordinary and wonderful place, the staff are truly exceptional, they are all very warm, friendly and genuinely engaged in the residents' lives, and do all they can to ensure they are happy, content and well taken care of, it's a joy to visit my 80-year-old mom here. She is always well-kept,

clean and showered, well dressed, and her apartment is always immaculately clean, she is well looked after with the many teatimes, and delicious meals brought to her room. We all enjoyed the recent open day, where mom happily sat and watched the live music, raffles, and BBQ, and even joined the Conga Line. Thank you so very much to all of the wonderful staff, mom's happiness means the world to us.

My mother has been at Ferendune Court for 8 months now, and we are very happy with her care, and with all aspects of the care home.
We have had a couple of family meals there (the latest one was yesterday, with 6 of us joining my mum for lunch) and we have been made very welcome. The staff have been

so kind and efficient in organising rooms and tables for us. Also, the meals have been delicious.

Overall Experience

My wife was discharged from the hospital to a placement at Ferendune in July. When she arrived she had severe mobility issues. Within a week with the help and encouragement from the carers she was walking around with very little help. As well as the in-house activities she is regularly taken out for

coffee mornings and has been to the seaside. I couldn't wish for better care and knowing that she has settled well into a safe environment is a great comfort to me. The management and administration are excellent.
