This is clearly primarily a dementia care home which is fine but it means that respite and Nursing care was severely lacking. We had to move to an alternative care home. The Patient was distressed every day. Now he has moved he is fine and has started what will be a long recovery but shows signs of progress after just one day.
When we went to look at the home we were shown a ground floor light and airy room. On arrival we were given a very different room and upon querying were told that we should not have been shown the other room. But it happened twice. That's not good at all !!!!

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...
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.

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.

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 your Father experienced a warm welcome and a delicious lunch. We are especially pleased that you are able to spend quality time together, exploring the home and relaxing in one of our lounges. Your kind words are greatly appreciated by the whole team. Seeing our residents relaxed, comfortable and happy is exactly what we strive for everyday. Thank you again for placing your trust in us, and for taking the time to share your experience.
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...

My Brother came to the Radley as a Dementia Resident in November 2025. The care from the staff has been absolutely amazing both for my brother and myself and my family. We feel that he is very well cared for, well fed and the staff work tirelessly to help him with his personal care.

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.

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.
Always very friendly and helpful staff at the Care Home and kept in good condition. Well kept and modern. It looks good with the refurbishment. It is a good location too. Thank you very much.

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.
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.
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.

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.
The staff are friendly and helpful. My sister tells me the food is good. Likes doing the quizzes, and colouring and they inform me if she is unwell or if they have to call a GP. Overall very good.

Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are so pleased that your sister is having such a positive experience here at The Radley. We try hard to keep family informed of any changes on a day-to-day basis, we are glad that this is working well for you.
I am well looked after and the staff have been great towards me. So far I have no real complaints.

“With over 30 years of experience in the care sector, I have dedicated my career to delivering exceptional care across nursing, residential, domiciliary, and dementia care. Since joining B&M Care in 2018, I have had the privilege of serving as Care Manager at Milford Lodge, where I developed a deep understanding of the organisation’s commitment to person-centred care.
In 2023, I proudly completed B&M Care’s Leadership Pathway, further equipping me with the skills and knowledge to lead and inspire my team. As Home Manager at The Radley, I am passionate about setting high standards and leading by example, particularly in the field of dementia care, which I believe is crucial to enhancing the quality of life for residents.
I am excited to guide The Radley through its next chapter of growth and innovation, ensuring we continue to provide a nurturing and empowering environment for both residents and staff.
