Since my Great Nan moved into Ridgemount I have only seen smiles and laughter. Lovely staff assist Nanny, she enjoys going to the musical entertainers and having her hair done. I could not have hoped for a better home for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was faced with the unenviable task of finding a suitable care home for my wife, somewhere she would be happy and well looked after. She had often commented that she hoped she would never have to be placed into care. I visited various homes. Ridgemount Care Home impressed - well presented, well maintained
and friendly staff - and I was aware of Anchor's reputation. In particular, I liked the idea of small groups of twelve sharing a dining room and lounge.
My wife's ensuite room is ideal; light and airy, plenty of space and well furnished - and she's allowed to hang photos on the walls. My concern was that she may be upset or react at being in a place other than her own home. I need not have worried. There's always a positive reaction when I visit her and no sadness when I leave. She is happy, contented and well looked after by staff who listen to her and what she wants - the staff connect so well with the residents. She has quickly made it her own home. I am happy.

My mother has been a resident for over four years initially with my father, and the last two years on her own, she has never in all that time had anything negative to say. The staff are all amazing considering the extra strain of the covid years they have all risen to the challenges.
The rooms, communal
spaces and even the garden are kept to a very high standard. My mother says it is the best thing that happened when she moved into care and that makes me happy that she is so happy.

My friend is 97 so she is quite frail but she enjoys having a visitor and it was good to be able to chat in her room. We were given a cup of tea and the carers were all very friendly and helpful. My friend will be pleased when it is possible to have activities again and especially singers.

Very efficient and well thought out procedures. Staff were normally careful and caring. Sometimes night staff could be abrupt. I would like staff to be more interactive in who we were, why we are here and talk to us a little more. Soup was always very tasty.

After researching many care homes I am so glad that we chose Ridgemount. The care staff are a credit to Ridgemount, and they gave my father wonderful care right up to the end. A fabulous clean bright home. The room was delightful and the home-cooked food amazing. And yet very reasonable prices. I can't
fault this company. They have worked hard through difficult times and I would recommend them to anyone who needs care. Beautiful gardens, easy parking and lovely staff so look no further; probably the best care home in Surrey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have always found the home and staff to be of exceptional quality, the home is always clean and tidy, the staff are always friendly and very caring, they are very professional and treat the residents with respect and always have time to chat. My mother has been a resident since February 2015 and suffering
from dementia, she needed and got the care she required and was always treated like a human being. The information and contact with the home is a great help and comfort. Being her son and living 170 miles away and due to illness myself, I am unable to visit very often. I am kept informed as to Mum's health and wellbeing as she is totally unable to contact me herself. When I do visit I am always greeted with a smile and recognised and my Christian name used. Also, due to the care and attention and by a controlled diet of the right foods they have managed to eliminate the need for my mother to take tablets to control her diabetes.

Came to visit my grandmother, love the fact that we can still have face to face contact at a distance but makes such a difference to be able to see her in the flesh, she seems really well and was full of beans and seems to be having fun.
Keep up the good work, we are so grateful.

Our mother had been a resident at Ridgemount for 7 years and they have done a fantastic job in this time. Initially in a restorative phase for her and more recently doing an amazing effort in making her comfortable at a difficult time. Well done to the team!

I have been coming to the home to see my father-in-law for over a year now since he moved in.
I have enjoyed the friendliness of the manager who has always greeted me with a smile. The room and everywhere are clean at all times and there are always lots of things for people to do. My father-in-law
loves being here and going out and he loves the fresh food that is always good and loves having more.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I come to visit my friend on a regular basis. Overall the day staff are helpful and friendly. The night staff are mainly ok but a few are quite off-hand and not helpful. Entertainment is good. My friend has found it quite difficult to settle and sometimes is upset by the bad behaviours of other residents.
Often the home does not pass 'the sniff test'.

I am very happy with the wasy they look after mum. She needs encouragement to do things and they have a lot of patience with her. Her room is always clean and tidy and the bed is changed often sometimes two or three times a week if needed.

The care provided is very good, but the communication with relatives is not good. A meeting for relatives was held which I was unable to attend. But despite requests, no information was sent to me. For future meetings, an email summary could be provided. My mother is still not settling well as she finds
she is not kept informed as to what is going on.

I'm a frequent visitor and always appreciate the friendly welcome I receive at reception that makes a big difference. The staff are usually very helpful and caring and the activities team are incredibly patient and encouraging. I rarely hear any grumbles from the few residents I meet regularly, although
there are always one or two residents whose main aim is to grumble.

My wife suffers from vascular dementia which means her once exceptional brain is now "scrambled". She understands very little and is incoherent. She has been in Ridgemount for two years and I have visited virtually daily. I have never been treated with anything but patience, care and even love.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.723)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.723) out of 10 for Ridgemount is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.723 for Ridgemount is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.723
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ridgemount is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
