Ridgeway Court Reviews (26)
Ridgeway Court has a Review Score of 8.8 (8.788) out of 10, based on 20 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Ridgeway Court has 26 reviews.
I was admitted on February 22nd and left on May 9th, having had a fall. I was treated with helpfulness, kindness and can not find fault with Ridgeway Court.
My mother has been very well looked after while in Ridgway Court. The staff are extremely professional and friendly.
Very good experience. Dad has improved a lot health wise and in confidence. He enjoys all meals and staff are very helpful and pleasant.
We find that my uncle is being looked after very well. The staff are all very friendly and do not hesitate to discuss my uncle's condition and are very concerned about his welfare. We are very happy for my uncle to remain here.
My father seems happy and well looked after by his care providers. It is a warm happy environment and good communications between the staff, family members and the residents themselves.
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.
