Mam recently passed away at Ridley Park Care Home after over five years of living there. When she moved to the home in 2019, we really thought that her time was limited: within a matter of months the home had de-aged her by ten years and it was staggering to see the improvement in her health. The level of care that mam received throughout the five years at Ridley Park has been unfailingly outstanding. The staff are always welcoming towards the family, whilst they have been compassionate, patient, thoughtful and kind towards mam. We have always been kept up to date with mam's health and progress. There have also been some lovely activities; pictures and videos of mam singing and holding animals will live long in the memory; little touches that are so important. The celebration of mam's 100th birthday in October last year was wonderful. Her room - and indeed the whole home - was beautifully decorated, there was a fantastic cake and the whole day was very enjoyable. The end-of-life care that mam received was just like all her care at Ridley Park - warm and loving - and we are so happy that she was able to end her days there.

I cannot find the words to express how wonderful the staff are at Ridley. The care and attention they give to residents is amazing from the kitchen staff, domestic carers, nurses, and admin - truly amazing! The admin staff goes above and beyond to help and support me through some very difficult family times. I honestly don't think I could have gotten through. The personal care they have provided to my Mum and me is excellent. I can not recommend Ridley enough. My Mom is in Dunes.

My overall experience of Ridley Park Care Home is a very happy, well-run establishment. Upon entering, greeted by friendly and helpful with whatever the problem was that day (usually my mum and dad trying to pay the bill for their hotel rooms!). The cafe at the entrance is a great idea. The activity coordinators always have residents and visitors enjoying varied and interesting activities catering for all abilities. I can go home knowing my parents are safe, secure and most of all happy.

My mum has only been here a few weeks but very happy with the care indeed. The staff and managers are amazing, was so worried about my mum in a nursing home but could not wish for a more caring and loving place. Well done Ripley Park please continue to look after my mum in this amazing 5 star care home.

What can I say? Marvellous! My 93-year-old aunt was fortunate to obtain a place at Ridley Park in May 2024 for a two-week period of respite. As it transpired, she has made it her permanent residence. On visiting the care home, for me, the first impression I got was excellent. My first point of contact was so professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I was immensely reassured that this was a great place for my aunt to stay. I thought the whole environment was delightful and was very happy for my aunt to take up residence. My aunt moved in within days and was pleased with her lovely room overlooking the garden. I also have to mention another staff member, who is a wonderful representative of the care home and is brilliant for advice and reassurance. The professionalism and open manner of these members of staff is a credit to the home. My aunt subsequently took up permanent residence at Ridley Park and is in her element with her new home. Well done Ridley Park!

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Lovely place and always something to do for the residents.

The majority of the time care is excellent, odd occasions seems understaffed. The staff are very understanding and kind. The food is sometimes in the bed after meals but once again understandable and cleaners can't be in the room constantly.

The staff are amazing. My mother's well-being has improved tenfold. The facilities are excellent. The care and support provided is fabulous. She is very happy it has given her and the family great peace of mind.

My uncle has been in the home nearly a year. The care and support he gets is first-class. The staff are a credit to the home and the wider organisation. I can't thank them enough.

My dad came here a few days ago and was anxious about coming but the staff made him welcome straight away, and even had a card (welcome one) left for him. Staff are friendly answer any questions, always willing to help and go that extra mile.

My mother was admitted directly from hospital palliative care and was gravely ill. Her prognosis was poor. However, over time started to slowly recover and although still seriously ill, she's no longer critical and her quality of life has certainly improved. In my opinion, her amazing recovery is purely down to the kind and caring staff who are looking after her 24/7. Ridley Park Care Home is extremely well run and I would not wish my mother to be anywhere else.

Both my parents are in Ridley Park. It is always a worrying time when parents go into care; however, the level of care my parent have received and the support given to the family has been exemplary. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable regarding the residents. As a family, we could not sidhe for better care or environment than what my parents receive at Ridley Park. Thank you.

Clean and very caring staff.

Ridley Park is well situated in a fairly quiet area, yet is handy for taking residents in wheelchairs to the town centre, the riverside and the park. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. The staff in general are friendly and caring. Some staff are especially friendly, helpful and caring.

Ridley Park has cared for my dad for a few years now. I find the staff very caring and approachable and always take the time to listen to my concerns.

My mum has now been at Ridley Park for just over five months for nursing care. All the time she has been here, the standard of care has remained high. The nursing staff are really informative and keep you up to date with how she is doing. The carers are great, nothing is any trouble, and one of the girls really makes Mam smile with all her little jokes. They are all a fab team, and I feel they do care about how Mam is, and I couldn't ask for more.

My mother was admitted to Ridley Park Care Home in January 2023. After visiting several care homes in the area, I was very pleased to be offered a place for my mother. Ridley Park has got to be the best care home in the area, with a very good reputation. I know that my mother is well cared for in all respects, including her health and wellbeing. However, she does tell me that sometimes the food offered is not the best quality, which she has mentioned to the staff.
