The home is always clean and tidy.
The staff are always pleasant.
Although I feel it's expensive for the people who pay full price.

Review from Susan L (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother spent 6 weeks in hospital and was unable to achieve her previous baseline as regards mobility and self-care - her outlook was poor. However, within a very short time (days) of returning to Ridgemount, she was able to confidently use the standing hoist with the supervision and encouragement
of staff.
She was once again all "glammed up" and joining everyone in the dining room for meals, attending the hairdresser and most likely ready to try activities too. The staff have been excellent and have listened carefully to mum's wishes and needs and have already achieved fantastic results. I am hopeful that with physio, mum may even be mobilised.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The standard of care has been very good and the staff very kind and friendly but professional.
The room is nice and the food good, although it isn't usually hot when it is served, hence I have only marked is satisfactory.
The cost is very high at now £64,000 per year. For this, I would expect to be
able to mark every box as excellent but this is not always within the remit of local management.
Reply from Lukasz Bogusz, Manager at Ridgemount

Thank you for taking the time to review Ridgemount and we are pleased that you are extremely likely to recommend our home. I will discuss the temperature of our hot food with our kitchen staff. We are keen to understand any further improvements that can be made and would like the opportunity to discuss this with you.

Ridgemount is a comfortable, homely care home. My mother is cared for extremely well by caring staff who always have time to discuss any problems/concerns I have regarding my mothers care. I am always contacted regarding any changes to medication and informed immediately if my mother has had a fall.
My mother is happy so that makes me happy. She is treated with dignity.

Review from Lynda M (Niece of Resident) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the actions of two staff members when My aunt's GP decided she should be sent to hospital.


I was some distance away and unable to get to Ridgemount to meet the ambulance, nor to get to hospital as soon as I would have wished.


I was kept regularly

informed of events during the day and one staff member insisted on following the ambulance so he could be with my aunt in A&E until I was able to get to the hospital. I'm quite sure that his kindness ate into his own time and I think he deserves special recognition.


Significant awareness was demonstrated of my aunt's situation in terms of her deafness (on top of her dementia) and how isolated that makes her and they wanted to do their best for her. Fortunately, it was not serious and my aunt was able to return to Ridgemount the following morning.


I am very grateful to both members of staff.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives, she is treated with respect and dignity by all the carers I have come into contact with.


All staff from reception through to Team Manager are always available if there is an issue. I need to discuss and there are frequent relatives' meetings if I

need to bring up any issues.

The food seems of a good quality and varied.

The place is clean, the staff are friendly and seem caring. Activities could be better or more often. Not very imaginative foodwise, lacks greens and vegetables sometimes. Seems very safe and secure.

Very satisfied with all management and staff overall. Weekends were somewhat different and understaffed but agency staff have been present when needed so there is much more of an improvement now.
Since my friend is bed bound I can only praise the members of staff and management for her very good care
and wellbeing.
Reply from Kyle Ingram, Home manager at Ridgemount

My mum has been in Ridgemount nearly two years now and has been well looked after.
She can be difficult at times but the staff are so caring and generous with their time.
I highly recommend this care home, which belongs to Anchor Homes.
My mum is safe and looked after and I cannot ask for more.

A genuinely friendly care home specialising in dementia. Staffing numbers have improved and on the whole, create a caring environment for the residents. Occasional small niggles with some things but boils down to staff numbers available at any one time. Overall Ridgemount gives care and respect during
some difficult times.

After easily finding a parking space, the reception is friendly and inviting. There is always a good welcome with a smiling face. My friend appears to be contented here, despite her dementia. The staff seem to be caring and respectful towards my friend as well as all the other characters here. There
seems to be organised activities which my friend enjoys, especially bowls.

My mother has been a resident for 3 years. The care staff are exactly that, the level of care they offer is high and they are always willing to help and assist. The standard of accommodation is generally good as is the food. Activities are available but can sometimes be non-exsistent when they do have
activities they are excellent. Some staff need to be encouraged/trained to interact more with the residents whilst others excel and will go the extra mile to make their residents happy and stimulated. Generally very happy.

Since my mother has been in Ridgemount, the past 2 years, her care has been very satisfactory. She is treated with dignity and I feel her safety is paramount and Ridgemount have this totally covered. Sometimes communication between staff/management and ourselves could be better in that we are not advised
of hospital appointments. But overall I feel her care at Ridgemount is very good.

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.
