Review from Jan L (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our elderly Mum was sent to The Rylands following a six week spell in hospital for continued health care and respite.
The staff were all absolutely amazing - nothing seemed too much trouble and they took excellent care of her.
They were also very accommodating when family members visited.
Although
Mum was not able to eat very much during her time there, the food we saw for the residents looked and smelt lovely.
We were allowed to take a few bits from home in for Mums allocated room and she had her own toilet and wash basin. She was treated to some lovely baths during her 5 weeks there with careful staff supervision.
They certainly played a huge part in helping our Mum to recover and be well enough to get back home.
I feel like we made some lovely friends at The Rylands and we will pop back and support them when they have events on.
They also have a lovely garden space which Mum loved to sit in when able to do so.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been here for 6 weeks now and I can honestly say that it was the best decision that was made, the care staff bend over backwards for him, they always take the time out of their very busy day to sit and chat with him, always make conversation with all his visitors, always friendly and nothing
is too much trouble, the food is always fresh and looks delicious and throughout the home its always clean and tidy, the management of this home is second to none, well organised and thorough with all that they do, you can see that a mile away, I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Review from Lisa J (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very caring and professionally run. Carers appear to genuinely care about the residents. All residents appear well dressed, clean and tidy. Managerial issues dealt with promptly, efficiently and professionally. Lockdown restrictions abided to completely. A concern is that the one and only lift is now
becoming prone to failing more often and as Mum is on the second floor, I worry about her in the unlikely event of a fire. Would be nice to see more residents up and about earlier in the day and more entertainment provided to stimulate the residents, both mentally and physically on a daily basis. Overall, I find the home to be a safe environment with excellent carers and well-structured management.
Reply from Anna Read, Management Consultant. at The Rylands

Thank you for your comments. We are waiting on a part for the lift and engineers have attended (after showing proof of a negative LFD) each time there has been an issue. Unfortunately, we do not have engineers on-site so sometimes there may be an hour or 2 until they can get to us. I hope that I can reassure you by saying that all residents have their own individualised fire evacuation plan which explores every alternative escape in the unlikely event of a fire. In regards to the activities, not all are photographed and published on the relative Facebook page and the activity coordinators do 1:1's in residents' rooms in the morning. The group activities tend to take place in the afternoon.

Review from Ann M (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was admitted to The Rylands after a fall and unable to return home. I was very worried as we had a bad experience with my mother-in-law and care homes. The health and safety of residents and all staff is top priority here. The staff are very professional but also very friendly, in Mums words, they
will do anything for you, nothing is too much trouble. They have special days, including dressing up and the staff join in with so many smiling faces. The entertainment is great, indoors and outside and enjoyed by all. The food is very good and varied including treat days. I cannot praise enough the care and safety of all residents during this Covid-19 pandemic and the lengths all staff have gone to, not only to keep residents safe but also happy and entertained. I would recommend The Rylands to everyone especially if they are worried in any way about the treatment and care and fun offered. I would like to thank all staff for their continuing care of Mum.

Review from Kerry R (Regular Volunteer) published on 17 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a regular visitor to The Rylands for over four years and in my time there staff always display compassion and kindness to residents while upholding their dignity and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. Rylands offer the residence lots of stimulation and encourage participation, from
visiting Llamas, potting plants as well as crafts and outdoor games. It is a stressful time for residents and their families when leaving for most, their home of many years but I am always impressed at the care and reassurance given and the genuine interest in the residents needs to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have always found the staff helpful in what is a busy and demanding role and proactive in managing high standards.

Dignity and respect are at the core of all that The Rylands does. My grandmother has complex care needs but The Rylands looks after her like family and all staff, from management downwards have done an excellent and very difficult job during the Covid-19 pandemic. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 97-year-old mother sadly passed away at The Rylands on New Year's Eve following a six-month stay. During her stay, she was treated with the utmost care, compassion and kindness. She was very happy there and loved all the staff. I cannot speak more highly of everyone who cared for Mum during her
final few months and would also like to thank them for the care and compassion they showed to me and my family during Mum's final days at The Rylands. They should be very proud of the professionalism they show and the fantastic job they do. Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When I came to visit my friend I found the home to be very welcoming and the atmosphere was so lovely and warm on each visit. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. There were several activities happening on the days that I visited before my friend went home. School children singing carols
with the residents, making Christmas decorations, playing games. It was truly wonderful to be a part of it.

Current Review Score: 8.0 (7.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.977) out of 10 for The Rylands is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.625 for The Rylands is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.625
  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 3.352 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Rylands is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.227
  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.
