  • Ridgeway Court, Dudley
Ridgeway Court care home is situated close to Sedgley town, Dudley, and provides 24-hour personal care for older people. The home is easily accessible – it is on a main bus route - and has ample off-road parking for visitors. Ridgeway Court was formed from two adapted proprieties which have been linked via a connecting extension. Access to the first floor is made easy by two passenger lifts.

The majority of bedrooms are found within the two main buildings. There are also three bedrooms in a flat accessed through a separate ramped entrance at the rear of the home. The flat offers a semi-independent unit from where the residents can access the home in the daytime and have access to staff at night via a call system.

What makes Ridgeway Court a special home is its friendly, warm and homely atmosphere, with caring and helpful staff. It’s not fancy or modern, but from the moment you walk through the door, they will welcome you with a happy smile and make sure that you receive the highest quality of service possible. Residents are encouraged to personalise their own room to make it just like home.

The residents are involved in a wide range of activities, in line with their ability and requests run by dedicated activity coordinators, who plan painting and drawing sessions, music events, going to church, flower planting or reminiscence games. This is part of the highly personalised approach and together with the highly trained staff, reliable facilities and services makes Ridgeway Court the best choice for your loved ones.

Review from K L (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I put my mom into this home in the hope that I could have some peace of mind after mom's dementia worsened. I was very please from the onset. The initial visit with the manager put my mind at rest. I had many questions that were answered immediately from mom being able to bring in her own chair to her
specialised dietary needs. Mom has been treated like a family member, one of the staff has gone out of her way to make mom comfortable and another staff member has kept me up to date with mom's progress. Activities keep mom active and she even gets to help clean the home. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for care for their loved ones

My mum has been a resident for 10 months. The manager and 3 other members of staff to name a few have been attentive to my mums needs. I have recommended that they provide more activities which since April has now started. Whilst I appreciate the difficulty to recruit staff for activities as one member
of staff mentioned I feel as this is something that the existing carers could manage with alittle thought. When I have needed information or any concerns regarding my mum I have been able to speak candidly to any member of staff.
The premises are clean and never have a 'smell' thanks to the vigilance of the cleaners.
The owners have made significant improvements and are still on going which I have every trust in them carrying out what they are planning.
Perhaps more comm. regarding any up and coming events and a monthly plan of activities would be nice to see, this could be on a notice board. Also would be good to know the menu so that this can be talked about with residents (my mum).
Family Room,Outdoor Gdn needed.

Mom was a resident in Ridgeway court for approx 3 yrs. In that time the staff/ carers looked after her with care and compassion often in difficult circumstances as mom suffered with dementia.
I felt comfortable that she was receiving the appropriate care and respect she deserved and I had a good level
of communication with the staff.

Thank you ever so much for your kind words, It is very heartwarming and I will pass this on to all staff.

The place has certainly been improved since being taken over. Looks a lot more spacious staff and management are very friendly and helpful also. The place is always very clean and tidy. Elevators are always broken though.
Reply from Tammy, Manager at Ridgeway Court

It's great to see the changes are having an immediate and positive impact to all. We are always grateful for feedback on staff and management as we go the extra mile for everyone at our Home, and its nice for that to be recognised. We have also moved away from the previous lift company to a new one, with better response times.

Mom has always been treated with total respect and dignity at Ridgeway throughout the various stages of her dementia. Current and previous staff have always done their best for Mom, even when she's being difficult. Yes Mom is ill, but I know she's safe in their hands. Thank you to all.
Reply from Tammy, Manager at Ridgeway Court

Thank you for sharing. It's very fulfilling to hear that the care, respect, and dignity we try to focus on every day for all residents are apparent. Rest assured, Mum's care is our utmost priority, and we will always continue to strive to do even better.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Ridgeway Court staff looked after my husband very well during his step-down care there.
The Staff are all very nice, hard-working and friendly towards the residents and their families.
Ali and Imran the new owners are trying to refurb the place to make it more modern and up to date.
The bedrooms
are all freshly painted and comfortable for the residents.
I think maybe there could be more ensuite rooms added to aid resident's comfort.
Nicely placed along the main road close to all amenities for visiting family.
Would recommend it to everyone.
Reply from Ali, Director at Ridgeway Court

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for recognising the hard work of our dedicated staff. We're delighted to hear that your husband received excellent care during his time with us. I'm glad the room improvements are taking shape and are being well received. We will certainly consider your feedback regarding more ensuite rooms and will continue to look for ways to enhance the support we provide to our residents.

Ridgeway Court is a very well-run home, it is a fairly old building so sometimes there are problems. The home is always clean and respectable and nothing is lying about which shouldn't be. The care staff are very nice and friendly and very dedicated to the work that they do. The home has a very homely
feeling.

I didn't know anything about care homes until my mother had to go into one.
In the two and half years I have been visiting one, I have come to realise how did families with elderly parents manage without these places with the population living longer there is a real need for them. Management and staff
who run them are dedicated people working very hard to maintain the dignity of their residents.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.478)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.478) out of 10 for Ridgeway Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.478 for Ridgeway Court is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.478
  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 Ridgeway Court is based on 10 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
