The care home have been so welcoming to my Mum and all her visitors.
They pay a great deal of attention to their clients and their needs.
All areas are very clean and well kept, whenever we visit everyone always looks happy, the staff are very open and always help with any questions.
My Mum settled
in very quickly and often comments on how lovely the staff are.

My mother has been a resident at Ryelands for nearly 2 years. She has been well cared for and I know she is in good hands. The staff at the moment seem to work together well and there is always a pleasant atmosphere when I arrive to visit my mother, a happy smile and some laughter go a long way! The
outdoor space is lovely and my mother and I have enjoyed many 'get-togethers/events' in the sunshine.

My mother has blossomed since being a resident of Ryelands. She was not eating and not drinking, even though food and water was in front of her. At Ryelands they not only eat in view of others and with others, but there are always careers around to help and gently encourage eating or drinking.
My mother
was loosing all contacts with people, but at Ryelands she seems to have come out of herself and appears very happy.

All staff are polite, friendly and helpful and have a lot of patience and all are good. The Christmas party was good, a lot of people were there.
It was good to see a lot of family, friends, and relatives of the residents attended.
There was a lot of food and drinks.
The central heating is a bit
too hot.
Could lower the temperature a bit, will feel better. Especially in the summertime heating should be turned off. Thanks.

Reply from Solomon-Paul Ekuase, Home Manager at Ryelands

Thank you for your review. Please be reassured that during the summer months our heating is virtually off as it is automatic and would not come on except if it hits a very low temperate. We realise that the heating could be hot for others but most, if not all the residents, prefer it as they have very thin skin and get cold easily. I will continue to review the heating situation and ensure that it is comfortable for all.

We had to put my friend into Ryelands after she suffered numerous falls with her bad mobility and was suffering with Alzheimer's. Whilst she has only been there for about two months I have been very impressed with the facilities and cleanliness there. My friend has a lovely large room which is very
homely with a lovely view of the gardens. The staff at the home are amazing and are so caring with the residents. They were very quick to close the home down when they had an outbreak of health issues. My friend cannot go out now due to her condition but they make sure she gets included in all the activities they provide. They put on a Christmas party for the residents which we could go to and which ended up with the carers getting residents to dance which was lovely. My friend's sister is in the same care home but in a different section as she also has Alzheimer's and they make sure they regularly get to see one another. I would recommend the home to anyone in this situation.

Reply from Solomon-Paul Ekuase, Home Manager at Ryelands

Many thanks for your very kind review of our service, not only the physical care but the emotional and social care we provide including our environment and we facilitate the continuous building of relationships. This type of review spurs us to continue to give our best so that the holistic well-being of individuals is met.

My mum has been at Rylands since 2018. She has been very happy there and she calls it her home. Staff are very friendly and very approachable when we visit Mum. Mum's 90th birthday was last February and we were allowed to use the conservatory for a small family gathering and mum was happy to see her
family and friends. I couldn't have done it without the support from home management and the staff.

The home is always clean and tidy. And the daily activities they offer are varied and they encourage residents to join in. It's a lovely home.

My Mother resided in Ryelands after a lengthy stay in Hospital. Most importantly my mother appears to be comfortable and safe when she is being looked after by wonderful staff. I can't thank you enough for the kind compassion and care you provided for my mother during this difficult time. Staff are
always polite and welcome you on every visit which makes every visit less tiresome.

The staff at Ryelands have been so kind and caring to my father since he has been a resident. Dad was challenging in the last couple of months but they worked together with outside agencies to make sure he is now calm and comfortable. It was a very difficult time for us as a family to choose a home

The instant you walk through the main entrance at Ryelands you are greeted with smiles and a hello.
Ryelands in my opinion is as close to a home setting and family to our Mum.
Ryelands and all its staff work extremely hard to provide care and understanding even spiritual support which helps my Mum
who remembers her time as a younger woman in the Salvation Army's band.
The home is spotless, warm, and wet equipped with a large dining area and lounge.
My rating for Ryelands is 10 out of 10.

My mother lived at Rylands and Brooklands since 2018.
My mum died 28.8.2024. I have to say my mum was so well looked after
in Brooklands in her end of life care. It gave me a lot of comfort to see the love and kindness shown to Mum and she died knowing she was loved.
I would like to give special
thanks to her carers for their kindness to Mum, they knew Mum from the beginning and that made them extra special.
I would also like to thank the manager and assistant manageress who do a wonderful job of running the care home, especially in these tuff times, I found them easy to talk to regarding any issues I had, and these issues were dealt with to my satisfaction.

Reply from Solomon-Paul Ekuase, Home Manager at Ryelands

Thank you very much, it was our pleasure and privilege to care for your mum who we dearly cared about. I will ensure my team is aware of your kind words about their care so that it will continue to foster renewed motivation to ensure best possible care for those in later life.

My husband and I visit on a regular basis, every 2 weeks. We are well received at the home. The staff are very polite and courteous. The home always seems well-run, clean, and organised. With plenty of activities. My sister-in-law although not always coherent because of her dementia is always well looked
after and seems happy in her surroundings. She presents as clean and appropriately dressed at all times. We are very pleased that she has now found the right place to cater for her debilitating needs. Thank you to everyone involved in her care.

I was very impressed with Ryelands. The food especially was excellent. I sometimes could not finish it as it was more than I eat at home. The care I received by the helpers was very good. My eye drops were given except for one late evening but when explained it was remedied the following evening. My
bed was very comfortable and I had an alarm button if I had needed attention. I was here for three days while my daughter was away and would willingly return if she is away again. Four items of laundry disappeared, all clearly marked but fortunately not important.

Mum arrived in the middle of Covid which was a difficult time for everyone. After 3 years she is well looked after and content. The care offered is very good and all staff are kind.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Ryelands is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.765 for Ryelands is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.765

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ryelands is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
