Having experienced a couple of care establishments I am impressed with the staff who look at their residents with commitment and empathy for who they are.
In certain circumstances when organising audiologist and opticians I have notified the home so they are able to prepare my sister for their visits. I know that staff understand and cope well with the limit of my sisters communication skills. They understand that it can inhibit her understanding so compensate by showing care and patience with her.
I thoroughly recommend this establishment and their caring staff.
Only one faible. The car park is too small
My mother moved into Ridgeway Residential Home in Sidmouth over two years ago. She took to living there fairly quickly helped by the caring concientous staff. Mum receives excellent care and has nothing but praise for all the staff. She does have difficult days from time to time and staff keep me...
Mum is very happy. She feels safe and very well cared for. I am very happy with mum's care as are my sisters and we would recommend this care home to anybody seeking an outstanding care provider for their loved one.
