Review of
Ryeview Manor Care Home
from Kevin S (Son of Resident) published on 25 June 2025

Overall Experience

Exceptional. All staff - carers, admin/ management, maintenance & cleaning - study resident info on families, lives, interests, etc to guide their discussions with residents, which is so personalised. People really care.
Facilities are excellent, with 2 outdoor spaces, etc. It's so comforting that

we chose the right place. Additional activities include visits to the owner's home & museums, picnic in the park, cheese & wine, etc.
Highly recommended.

My mother has been a resident in the home for the past 3 years, and although her dementia has worsened we have been very happy with the care my mother is given by all the staff, their friendly, positive and compassion towards their clients is a great reassurance that my mother gets the best possible

help and support.

Overall Experience

My husband moved into the home for respite care and from the moment he arrived the staff treated him like part of the family and made both of us feel welcomed. They took the time to get to know him and kept me updated with things going on in the home. They made me feel listened to whenever I was feeling

guilty and they made me realise that I was doing the right thing when I decided he would become a permanent resident. He settled very well and seems to be happy there.
The staff always seem to have a smile on their face and are happy to help me out when I need it. The manager is approachable and never turns me away even when she is busy. The reception lady certainly brightens up the home with her hair colours and is always happy to chat.
Overall the carers do an amazing job and I would be happy to recommend the home to anyone

Overall Experience

We don't think of St. Leonard's as a care home, it is Mum's home and she is a member of the loving family that live there. Mum joined the family 3 years ago and hasn't looked back, she has thrived in the wonderful atmosphere with the excellent range of activities and outstanding care.
We feel blessed

to have found St. Leonard's and are confident and reassured that Mum is 100% happy.

A beautiful home, always a warm welcome. The carers are very caring and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for residents and visitors. And the grounds and gardens are beautiful. I know I didn't have any worries about my brother, he's in a first class home and well looked after.

Overall Experience

1. The general environment/atmosphere is very pleasant in the care home.
2. My wife always looks well cared for (dress and cleanliness).
3. Wholesome food and varied menu.
4. The attitude and commitment of staff is excellent and I sense a collective spirit of support for each other as well as for

residents. They are always welcoming.
5. As well as the basic caring functions, resident wellbeing requires a holistic approach to stimulate each resident and staff work hard to plan and provide a variety of activities. However, I believe resources are limited and this is an area for better consideration.
6. The ergonomics in the Sunshine Kitchen area is less than perfect and staff cannot see residents if they are washing up! Redesign area? Dishwasher?

Reply from Nina Szmigielska, Home Manager at White Plains Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about the environment, the care provided to your wife, and the dedication of our team. It is wonderful to hear that you feel a strong sense of support and commitment from our staff, as we strive to create a welcoming and nurturing home for all our residents. We also acknowledge your comments regarding activities and resources, and we will certainly review how we can enhance our offerings to further enrich resident wellbeing. Additionally, your observations about the Sunshine Kitchen's ergonomics are valuable, and we will assess potential improvements to ensure both efficiency and visibility for staff. Your input is invaluable in helping us maintain and improve the quality of care we provide. Best regards.

Overall Experience

Mum has been with St. Leonard's for two years now. As a family we are completely overwhelmed by how wonderful this place is. The staff are all warm, professional and so, so caring. Mum is not able to speak, but they always understand what she needs. They know her as a person and have always actively

made sure that she joins in with activities she loves and let her be if she isn't interested. The atmosphere is relaxed and that is why the residents are so happy. The home and the grounds don't feel like a clinical environment, they feel like home.
Living so far away, I am totally secure in the knowledge that the staff are not only keeping mum safe but are actively ensuring that she feels loved and cared for. She is thriving at the age of 85 and that is a wonderful thing.

I couldn't wish for a nice home for my mum. Mum loves the care that she receives and is always telling me how kind the staff are. It is always a pleasure to visit and I am always made to feel so welcome. The home is spotlessly clean. Any queries I have had are addressed promptly and efficiently. Thank

you to all the lovely team, I'm grateful to each and every one of you and so is Mum.

Overall Experience

A year ago I was faced with making the hardest of decisions knowing I could no longer cope at home. I visited many care homes, after repeated word of mouth recommendations, I visited St Leonard's Care Home. From the minute I stepped in it felt "right", a home away from home. Where I still have input

in my husbands care, but he is looked after by a team of people with competence and compassion. I wanted somewhere where the TV wasn't the only activity, somewhere warm (in every way), comfortable and clean. Somewhere I felt confident he would be well cared for. A year on I can say I've found it.

Overall Experience

I just love St Leonards Care Home. What a wonderful care home, all the staff are welcoming and friendly and they genuinely do care that mum is as happy and comfortable as she can possibly be. Her bedroom is spacious and everywhere is extremely clean. There are small courtyard gardens as well as larger

garden areas which enhance the living areas and are lovely in the summer. The food looks really good and the menu is varied with lots of refreshments being served through the day. I know Mum is being care for with respect and dignity in an environment that manages to be spacious but still feel cosy and homely. I feel my Mum is valued as an individual and everything possible is done to make her feel respected and a part of the St. Leonards family. It makes such a difference knowing she is being cared for so well. I can't thank the staff enough.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at St Leonard's for over three years. She has been treated with respect and is very well looked after physically and mentally. Any concerns relating to her health are quickly dealt with. She is stimulated by the great variety of social activities on offer.
The home itself is warm

and cosy, and very clean, very much a home from home.
The manager is very approachable, as are all the members of staff.
I would have no hesitation, at all, in recommending this home for a loved one.

Overall Experience

As soon as we walked into SL care home we knew that SL was the care home we wanted for our dad. It was the friendly, family, happy atmosphere that impressed us so much. From the initial visit through to the application and moving-in process, all the staff have been brilliant, helpful, sensitive, and

welcoming.
The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and we have been encouraged to take any of Dad's own possessions in that will help him feel at home to make it his home!
The communal areas are lovely and bright looking over beautiful views of the gardens.
There is always organised activities suited for all abilities and the residents are encouraged to join in. It's wonderful to see Dad taking part. All the residents are all treated with the utmost respect and dignity. All staff show everyone their love, and care of the highest standard.
We truly cannot praise the attitude, professionalism, and dedication of the Management and staff. And would recommend SL Care Home without hesitation.

When my dad first became a resident, it took him a little while to settle in. However the staff were professional, patient and considerate and were able to accommodate his initial difficulties. Staff reassured him and over time dad has been able to settle.
All the staff that I have met have been kind

and caring. Dad has enjoyed the numerous outings and activities organised by the home. I know that he is in safe hands.

Overall Experience

If you are reading this review it's likely you are researching where can you find somewhere for a loved one to go, whether it be for respite care or as a full-time resident.
You will not find anywhere better than White Plains in my opinion and I researched extensively.
The team at White Plains are

exceptional - the care shown not only to those staying but also the huge support given to the families is incredibly valuable and you feel so included.
The care is superb and such a sense of warmth and belonging - match this with the outstanding cleanliness of the accommodation and the beautiful grounds you really won't be disappointed.
It's a hard time when a loved one needs to adjust their life and one full of emotion but choosing White Plains is one less worry.

Overall Experience

What an excellent experience and an excellent home. My Dad required some urgent respite care and this Home is just around the corner from where my Dad lives. Luckily for Dad, there was a room available, we were able to visit the very next day after making our initial enquiry and the following day Dad

checked in. My dad couldn't wait to stay and from the moment we arrived, the kindness and caring of all staff was immediately obvious. The home is spectacular and historic and has wonderful grounds. My dad is not the easiest of people to deal with at times but he was handled with care, kindness and respect, which was wonderful to see and was a relief to know that he was happy. My dad loved the menu choice, the cups of tea, the staff, the freedom, the activities and above all, the hugs he tried to get from everyone. This a lovely intimate Home where you can relax, have some peace and quiet if you want it or be social when you feel like it.
