Straight forwards really.
I like it there so that's good, mainly my father in-law likes it there also.
So, all in all we're all good.
Thank you.

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.

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.

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 HomeHI Jeremy Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We appreciate you sharing your experience and are delighted to hear such lovely feedback, which means a great deal to our team to recognise the care, compassion and dedication they show every day. We are grateful for your trust and support and are so pleased that your experience has been a positive one.

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

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 HomeThank 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 • Report

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.

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 HomeThank 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 HomeThank 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.

Overall Experience

I have found the staff at The Radley to be very helpful, friendly, and caring. The resident's rooms are of a good size and are very clean, and the staff do everything in their power to ensure that the residents feel at home there and cared for. The food seems to be of excellent quality and varied. My

92-year-old mother was housebound for a good number of years and has taken on a new lease of life since moving into The Radley; she says that she feels very safe and happy there and enjoys the varied activities that they put on for the residents.

Reply from Sue Peate, Home Manager at The Radley Care HomeThank you so much for your kind review. Your Mum has settled in very well, and she has improved so much. We are so pleased that she is enjoying her experience here and she says she is looking forward to spring and the possibility of getting out into the garden, as we all are.

Overall Experience

REST ASSURED - THIS IS A WONDERFUL CARE HOME
Our mother has been living and thriving at the Radley Care Home since October 2019, through lockdown. Although it was a traumatic decision to move her from living alone in her own home, albeit with carer visits twice then three times daily, we are all now

so glad, and most importantly, so is she. I am sure that she would not now still be with us if we had not taken this step. Our mother now needs a wheelchair, has Parkinsons, and as she puts it, good days and bad days. We have witnessed her coming back to life because of the genuine warmth and loving kindness of the staff of the Radley, which money cannot buy. She takes part in activities, has recovered her love of singing, made friends, and still has the companionship of her beloved budgie in her room, which the staff also care for. There is also a care home cat, which makes place homely. The staff are always available to speak with family. Recommend without hesitation. 5*

Reply from Sue Peate, Home Manager at The Radley Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words, it has been a very difficult few months but we have still managed to keep smiling. We love having your Mum with us, she is a wonderful person and is making the most out of every day.
