My father was cared for at Ridgeway and recently passed away peacefully. All staff were exceptionally kind, attentive, always going above and beyond ensuring we were all looked after as a whole family. Their interpersonal skills, while remaining professional, provided confidence and comfort. We are very grateful and would like to thank everyone for the laughter, kindness and support.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.On behalf of us all at Ridgeway, please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your father. We hope that the memories we all shared together of him will bring comfort and joy. Thankyou again for your feedback and allowing us to be part of your fathers journey.

My Mum lived at The Ridgeway for 3 years until she passed away in March 2026. The staff are absolutely amazing and helped Mum and me and my family navigate a very difficult period in our lives with so much care and compassion. They really are a family and the atmosphere is always upbeat and very friendly and there is always a cup of coffee and time for a chat and a hug. The activities are varied and Mum started to paint, she had never painted in her life so this was wonderful that the activities coordinator managed to persuade her to try something new. I cannot put into words how grateful my family are for the amazing care Mum received and how 'looked after' we were when Mum passed away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Ridgeway to anyone, it absolutely is fabulous.
We take great pride in being a family orientated home and our relatives mean just as much to us as our residents do.
Thankyou again
Everyone involved in my grandmother's care was absolutely wonderful - she couldn't have been in any better hands. The staff are endlessly patient and put so much time into making her experience (and ours!) enjoyable. I am so grateful for the care and attention they put in, from putting her...
Everyone involved in my grandmother's care was absolutely wonderful - she couldn't have been in any better hands. The staff are endlessly patient and put so much time into making her experience (and ours!) enjoyable. I am so grateful for the care and attention they put in, from putting her paintings up on the wall to getting her favourite yoghurts - you can tell how much they care about the residents just from being there. Eternally thankful for everyone there.
I'd never seen her...
Thank you for making her last days comfortable and very peaceful. You were all so kind.
My mother moved into the Ridgeway in May 2023 and lived there until she passed away in February 2025. During her time living in the home we were extremely impressed by the kindness and compassion shown constantly by the staff. In her final few days the care shown by the staff to all the family was...
Many thanks to all.
Overall I have been happy with the care that Mum has received at Ridgeway. The staff have all been friendly and professional, she has enjoyed the food, and her room is freshly decorated and carpeted. However, there have been a number of niggles and ' teething problems', which could probably have...
I am aware that for much of the six weeks that Mum has been at Ridgeway, they have been undergoing organisational changes, and there is now a new manager in place, who seems very 'on the ball', and I hope that Ridgeway will fulfill its full potential under her management.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Ridgeway House, Your thoughts are very important to us. I will share your comments with the staff team. At Ridgeway, were are dedicated to provide outstanding care and are always working to improve our services.
All staff are pleasant. The carpet in her room is filthy and should have been replaced/cleaned well before now. That is why I have rated very poor under cleanliness. No interaction with management. The alarm in her room does not work or not plugged in. I am only given information about my mum when...
I am only contacted when money is involved. I appreciate that staff are hard to get but I sometimes find the spoken English hard to understand which makes it difficult for me even though they may be doing their best.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your views. I can confirm that we have a planned maintenance and cleaning schedule in place to address the issues outlined in your review. I'm sorry if this hasn't been communicated to you by the previous manager. At Ridgeway House, I operate an open-door policy, please feel free to pop in to discuss any issues.
The whole establishment is 100% very good. I recommended my mother to stay here. The staff are superb, management are very good, everything is 100%. However, I would recommend probably two more staff members to relieve pressure on the staff.

My mother is a very shy, anxious 90-year-old. She has been bedbound since her discharge from hospital in December 2021. Her care has been outstanding. The time, love and compassion the staff show her, at all times of day, is remarkable as they are so busy. Cleanliness is super, meals are, as she...
My mother is a very shy, anxious 90-year-old. She has been bedbound since her discharge from hospital in December 2021. Her care has been outstanding. The time, love and compassion the staff show her, at all times of day, is remarkable as they are so busy. Cleanliness is super, meals are, as she says, 'delicious'! She is checked regularly, so never lonely. Activity-wise, she doesn't take part but loved the band and carols at Christmas.
We found the care home to be extremely warm and welcoming. Staff were very attentive, considerate and always willing to help. Our experience was extremely positive and we would happily recommend Ridgeway House to others who are seeking care for a relative.

I think it's been a high experience. I've never been spoilt so much in all my life. The activities have been very good. In my short stay here I have listened to a talk from a charity helping children in Nepal, a talk from Guide Dogs for the blind, listened to a guitarist, heard from an animal...
I would recommend here to anyone.
Choosing a care home for Mum was very daunting. However, we certainly made the right choice in picking Ridgeway. The main reason we know it was the right decision is down to the hardworking staff. Every member of the team at Ridgeway that Mum, and we as a family, have met has been kind, caring and...
I would highly recommend Ridgeway to others.
Many thanks for your review. It has been a pleasure and privilege to help your mum settle in and her infectious manner is enjoyed by both staff and other residents.

Many thanks for your review. It has been a pleasure and privilege to help your mum settle in and her infectious manner is enjoyed by both staff and other residents. We take pride in making Ridgeway a 'home from home' which provides the best care possible. Our dedicated team work together to provide care and support for residents and their families - as you have said it was 'daunting' - and to help the transition from their home to our home as simple and pleasant as we can.

I visit the home on a regular basis as an advocate. I find the staff responsive and helpful. They seem to know their residents well and take steps to personalise residents' experiences and to respect their preferences. As an advocate, I have not seen all the facilities on offer, but the home has a pleasant dining area and an enclosed garden courtyard. The one lounge area that I have seen is divided by a ramp into a staff section and a seating area for residents. To me, this feels a bit like a thoroughfare and quite a busy space. However, there may be quiet lounges/areas that I have not accessed and some residents do have their own sitting room.
Many thanks for your review. Ridgeway has three lounge areas, and residents are able to choose the space they prefer to spend time in, whether this is close to staff, in the television lounge or in the quieter blue room.

Many thanks for your review. Ridgeway has three lounge areas, and residents are able to choose the space they prefer to spend time in, whether this is close to staff, in the television lounge or in the quieter blue room. We take pride in making sure that we fully understand each individual and are able to provide care that is based upon their wishes and needs, and are pleased that this is so evident within the home.
This is only our second visit due to the Covid situation. However, we always feel reassured that Mum is happy and well cared for. Staff are extremely welcoming and visits are very well organised to accommodate current restrictions as smoothly as possible.

Thank you very much for your review. The team at Ridgeway takes care of each resident as if they were their own parents or grandparents, creating a unique and personal plan of care for them based upon their individual needs, likes and dislikes. This supports them to live their life to the full and maintains their wellbeing.

My friend has only been in Ridgeway House for two weeks but when first contacting the home we had a good impression and feeling about the place. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly as well as being very professional. Ridgeway House is immaculate in every way and is the best care home that I have visited by a country mile. I have had to visit many care homes all over Lincolnshire as a result of my profession and it is head and shoulders above any other care home that I have visited over the last 35 years. If you or your family have cause to use a care home then this is the one I would recommend without any doubt.
Many thanks for your comments! They are truly appreciated and I will make sure that all staff are aware of your review. Our aim is to provide care that is personalised, supportive and sensitive to the needs of the individual resident without it feeling clinical.

I myself am a Nurse / NHS Director with many years of experience of operating groups of care homes. My Mother has been a resident of this home for several years. I have absolutely no complaints. I find them considerate. The food is excellent. The staff are always pleasant and approachable. It’s very clean both inside and the outside environment too. I have nothing but praise as do all my family members for the care offered particularly through this difficult time. I don’t feel that the CQC rating reflects the overall standard currently. I accept there has been a change in management but I certainly will be contacting the CQC to offer my formal written praise for this home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home and its team.
The rooms were clean and tidy. Food was up to par and good. The manager was keen and fair.

Many thanks for taking the time to review Ridgeway Care Centre.
I have been visiting my friend in the Ridgeway for about the last 2 years. Have always found the staff friendly and helpful. Having other nursing homes I find Ridgeway very comfortable and welcoming compared to others I have visited.

My mother has been a resident for two years. We live a considerable distance away and rely on Ridgeway House for her care needs. She has needed to attend hospital as an outpatient for the last few months and Ridgeway House have organised things so we can just visit and accompany her.
