Review from Paula M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Cannot recommend this nursing home enough. Staff are always welcoming when visiting & keep you informed by telephone of any updates or problems. Dad took a while to settle as his Alzheimers made him aggressive & a danger to himself & others. The team eventually got to grips with managing him & his medication

& all this made our family visits a more pleasant experience for both him & us.
The home put on lots of special fun events & we went to several of them. All the residents seem to enjoy them & to watch the kindness & effort the staff put on was amazing. The home was always kept clean & fresh smelling & the residents were respected, very clean & presentable.
When dad was at end of life, we were able to come & go as we pleased to be with him in his last few days of life. Staff gave my dad great dignity & were helpful & respectful of our last moments with him.
10/10 for the manager, nurses, assistants, cleaning & cooking & admin staff. Set in a great location close to the sea.

Overall Experience

We just needed Dad to be safe and for the carers to be safe, as Dad's cognitive function and aggression has got worse. The staff & nurses at Windyridge are attentive, caring and helpful, both for the patients and families. Dad has settled down and is being very well cared for, which is very reassuring

for us as we are two hrs away.

Overall Experience

My wife has been at Windyridge for almost two years. Despite her not being able to talk and having to have everything done for her, I can tell that she is content at Windyridge. She loves the staff there and is constantly smiling at them. I feel that the staff also love her. Although she can't take

part in activities, she isn't neglected in that area.

Review from Adele B (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Life has been a rollercoaster since dad was diagnosed with dementia. Following a long stay in hospital and different care homes, we found Windy Ridge. The last year of dad’s life was a happy one. He was well-fed, loved singing and dancing and the care he received was phenomenal. Unlike other homes,

this is like a family. If you are looking for a care home, look no further. Windy Ridge deserves every one of its 5-star reviews.

My husband has advanced Alzheimer's disease and he requires vigilant care and nursing, all of which are very well provided at Windyridge Care Home. Visiting is very restricted due to continuing Covid concerns, which is understandable but difficult for close family.

My son moved into Windyridge Care Home during Covid-19. We have limited access to the home, mostly in his room. It is clean and tidy and my son is well cared for. Some of the options we are unable to comment upon, but overall what we have seen we deem as excellent.

Review from David F (Son of Resident) published on 24 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

During my dad's brief stay at Windyridge, after spending months in and out of Hospital, the staff and manager at Windyridge were exceptional and caring beyond all means.
We stayed with my dad for his last few days at the care home and the staff were not just caring and professional for my dad but to

us as family staying with him night and day and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
Dad's final days, although brief, were made better for his stay at Windyridge and we as a family were able to stay with him for his last moments which we will treasure forever, thanks to the kindness and care of the staff. They deserve so much and I would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Review from A V (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 October 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Windyridge Care Home for nearly three years, following the death of my father. Due to her advanced dementia, she could no longer be cared for at home and so a 'best interests' decision was taken to move her into a nursing home. I can honestly say that it has been such

a blessing for her to have been welcomed into Windyridge and I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for the excellent care and kindness that she has been shown since arriving. Nothing is too much trouble for the manager and her team who always show so much compassion to residents, family and friends alike.

Overall Experience

You can visit this home at any time and will always be greeted warmly by any member of staff. My disabled late husband had severe dementia when admitted. His room was excellent and his care was superb at all times. I was with him throughout the night of his death and witnessed the end of life care for

him and also the support for me throughout. I have lived in many parts of North Midlands and South of England but have never witnessed such loving excellent care. I now have my long life friend with dementia.
