Review from Deborah M (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My dad has been here for just over 3 months. Given the size of the home and number of staff I hadn't expected them all to get to know him so well. Even the cooks at the weekends know who he is and a little about what he likes / his interests. Staff are particularly good at reminding him (which he needs) that he lives there, it's his home, and everyone there is like an extended family.
I am promptly notified of any worries and he has experienced a few lovely days outs and events at the home.
I feel that he is both safe and receives "kind care".

I appreciate much of the building is new, and the rest is refurbished so maybe not a fair comparison to other homes - but the furnishings and decor are lovely. Rooms are a good size.

Overall Experience
My Father arrived only three days ago from another care home where he could not settle. He was instantly comfortable in his new room and able to express how nice it is. Everyone, both staff and residents were welcoming and we both enjoyed having a delicious lunch with them all.
We had a relaxing afternoon exploring and found a great lounge to enjoy an old movie sitting on the sofa together just like we'd do at home.

I can not adequately express how reassuring these first few days have been. He is a change man and so much happier. We thank you all.

Reply from Rachel Wickens, Home Manager at The Radley Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are truly delighted that your Father has settled in so quickly and comfortably with us after what must have been a difficult transition from his previous care home. It means a great deal to know that he feels at home in his bedroom and that both you and...

The Radley Care Home is an amazing place. Rachel and all the staff go above and beyond. My mum was very well looked after and cared for on her 3 week restbite and I will have no hesitation using them again and hopefully in later years having my mum there on a full time basis. Thank you everyone (p.s food could be a little better!)

So, all in all we're all good.

Overall Experience

The staff at the Radley Care Home are truly wonderful, and I cannot praise them highly enough. They show genuine kindness, patience, and attention to every resident, always going above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and valued. The care and compassion my mother receives gives our family great peace of mind, and it's clear how happy and well looked after she is. We are incredibly grateful to the entire team and would wholeheartedly recommend Radley Care Home to anyone considering becoming a resident.

Review from Jeremy O (Son of Resident) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What an amazing place. My mum has improved beyond belief since entering. She came to the home unable to care for herself, very under weight and generally unwell. The care she has received has been outstanding. Having been there since August she now takes her meds, is eating and putting on weight and generally loves it . The staff are so lovely and the atmosphere is kind and loving. It feels like home from home. I cannot praise the place enough.

Reply from Rachel Wickens, Home Manager at The Radley Care Home

HI Jeremy Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review.

Review from N C (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The Radley Care Home is an excellent care home that seems to deal well with the needs of individual residents well and efficiently. The new extension and gardens are excellent and give the home a lovely, spacious feel. The carers seem on the whole to be totally responsive to the residents and are calm, cool and caring in most situations. They go beyond what is expected of them and are always there to comfort and help the residents. My only criticism is that there doesn't seem to be enough staff - especially at weekends. This means that on many occasions there are up to 8 residents in the lounge or dining room without any supervision or anyone there to interact with them - this does concern me. Activities are fun and inclusive although I feel there should be more at weekends as the residents get bored without the structure of the week day.

Overall Experience

The Radley Care home has been outstanding in their support during the transition from home/hospital to care home. Those who are on this journey know how difficult navigating the funding, referrals etc can be. We received advice care and a listening ear when things became difficult. Our dear friend was made to feel welcome and treated exactly as we would wish her to be treated. They monitor her fluid intake, food, and movement. Things which give us peace of mind. They know when to be assertive and when to be kind. Our whole experience has been positive. The staff really care about the residents. We recommend The Radley Care Home without hesitation.

Reply from Sue Peate, Home Manager at The Radley Care Home

Thank you so much for your comments, we are very glad that your dear friend is settling in so well, especially after such an unsettling transition period for you all. She is so lucky to have friends who provide such amazing support and commitment to her well-being as yourselves.

Review from K T (Nephew of Resident) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Often the room is quite grubby. It's difficult to comment on food because my aunt is so fussy. Need to separate dementia patients and prevent items from being taken from other patients' rooms and also to prevent other patients from being assaulted by them. This has happened on several occasions and some items never have been returned causing a lot of additional expense.

My relative has been a resident for over five years and we have had no concerns regarding his care. During covid, we were especially grateful to know he was being looked after well. The staff are very caring and kind. The facilities are good and the garden is a big bonus in the summer. The management are always approachable.

Reply from Sue Peate, Home Manager at The Radley Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind review, we are glad that you thought the service was good, especially as a large part of his stay was during the pandemic. Please take care and feel free to pop in whenever you are passing, we would love to see you. Kind regards Sue.

Review from Lesley C (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My dad was looked after extremely well. He was very challenging, and all staff had a lot of time for him. I was always told how happy he was, waving, joking, and of course, falling over and being helped up from the floor regularly. His dementia was getting worse, and he had a few spells in hospital. The last one was with a heart attack. He passed in hospital in April 2022. Thanks to all staff.

Reply from Sue Peate, Home Manager at The Radley Care Home

Thank you so much for your comments, your Dad was a very special character and certainly kept us on our toes, we all miss him and the way he made us laugh. Please take care of yourselves.

Overall Experience

We have been very impressed with the care and support given to my brother since he moved into The Radley care home. The effects of the dementia he was suffering from when he arrived there were alleviated as they supported him. As he declined and eventually died, we were very pleased by their continued care and their communication with us.

Reply from Sue Peate, Home Manager at The Radley Care Home

Thank you so much for your comments, it was fantastic to see him blossom here when he arrived and start dancing, colouring and enjoying himself again. He was a lovely gentle man and we will miss him.
